OCEAN VIEW

Cable theft ‘unending’NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Ongoing electricity cable theft in OceanView has added to the municipalityhaving to spend millions on replacing

vandalised infrastructure in the Southerndistrict.

The cable theft in Ocean View is “continu-ous” and occurs on an almost weekly basis,explains subcouncil chairperson FelicityPurchase.

She says the repairs are no sooner carriedout than the new cables are stolen, resultingin extensive outages and costs.

The money used to repair or replace infra-structure could rather be allocated to com-munity and social projects, if it was not forthe ongoing thefts, Purchase believes.

Ernest Sonnenberg, mayoral committeemember for utility services, says cable theftin Ocean View occurs “from time to time”,with at least two incidents taking place sinceJanuary.

But the theft is wide-scale, Sonnenbergsays.

“In the past financial year the City of CapeTown has spent at least R8.2m on replacingvandalised apparatus in the Southern area,which includes Muizenberg, Mitchell’s

Plain, Gugulethu and Wynberg. Revenue isalso being lost as no electricity meters arerunning when infrastructure is vandal-ised,” he explains.

“It is our residents and business ownerswho suffer the most.

“Coupled with the current load sheddingwe are experiencing, the vandalism andtheft causes further unnecessary outages.”

Apart from replacing copper cables withcables made of less valuable material, whichstill have scrap value, there is not much thatthe City can do to prevent cable theft, Son-nenberg says.

“We do not have the human resources to

patrol all our assets and infrastructure.“In some cases, we keep the streetlights

burning during the day because cablethieves seldom try to cut live wires,” he says.

Cable theft and vandalism must be report-ed to the police, Sonnenberg says.

“We need our residents to also report sus-picious activities to the City and the policeas they are our ears and eyes on the ground.Without them assisting us, we will never beable to prevent cable theft,” he says.V Residents are encouraged to report cable theft tothe unit that investigates copper theft, the metalstheft unit (commonly known as the Copperheads) on0800 222 771.

City countshomelessASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

About 7383 homeless people are living inshelters and on the streets of the city, a

survey conducted by the City of Cape Townhas found.In the first of its kind in South Africa, the

City completed a headcount of street peoplein the space of 10 days.The survey was done in Muizenberg,

Strandfontein, the city centre, foreshore,Bellville, Goodwood, Parow, Wynberg, SeaPoint, Portlands, Table View, Tafelsig,Mitchell’s Plain, Kuils Rivier, Claremont,Woodstock, Lansdowne, Lentegeur, Vrede-hoek,Oranjezicht, Retreat andMilnerton. Ineach of these areas 50 or more homeless peo-ple were found.The City’s social development and early

childhood development directorate has re-vealed these findings. It is part of a researchproject that set out to determine the numberof street people in Cape Town, but also togain a better understanding of the phenome-non of homelessness.Researcher Lynn Hendricks has present-

ed a report on the survey. She said the rea-sons why the survey was done was to under-stand the phenomenon of homelessness, andto make recommendations for interventionstrategies.Hendricks explained how the survey was

done and said that the City was clustered,using the Cape Town map book. Five teamswere allocated specific areas in Cape Town.The teams walked and drove around their

areas and team leaders ensured that everyarea marked in the map book was covered.

Suzette Little, mayoral committee mem-ber for social development and early child-hood development, said the research teamdeliberately operated in the early morninghours to make it easier to distinguish be-tween people who slept on the street and jobseekers who made their way to economichubs during daylight.“They did not only focus on the obvious

areas, like streets and bridges and buildingentrances, but also ventured into the moun-tains above FishHoek, for example, to checkfor people sleeping in these areas,” she said.“The state of homelessness as we current-

ly face it is different towhatweobserved justa few years ago,” Hendricks said.She explained that homelessness was an

ever-growing problem. To understand thephenomenon it was important to look at dif-ferent aspects of the problem, includingcharacteristics of street people, pathways tohomelessness, the homeless culture, exitstrategies for homelessness and interven-tions regarding homelessness.Little said the street people count coincid-

ed with an investment of just under R10min the directorate’s street people pro-gramme. “The budget for this programmehas grown from R4.5m in 2013/14 to R7.8min 2014/15 to R9.7m in 2015/16 – an increaseof more than 100%,” she said.According to Little, the City has made tre-

mendous strides in recent years in its effortsto address the complex problemof homeless-ness in a holistic way.“It is not something that is unique to Cape

Town, but I would like to think that we havecharted a good course in howwe address it,”she said.

‘Mad’ about educationTo prepare South African students withtools for their future as the leaders of to-morrow, the Mad charity has undergonea rebranding.The non-profit organisation, affection-

ately known by its supporters as Mad,will now be known as the Make a Differ-ence Leadership Foundation, to empha-sise the organisation’s focus on leader-ship development through education.The launch of the new name took place

at a gala event hosted by former Spring-bok captain Francois Pienaar last week.Pienaar, chairperson of the Founda-

tion, said despite the challenges facingSouth Africans, and the education andleadership gaps that desperately neededto be addressed the foundation has al-ways believed in the vast potential thatexists in South Africa.“Positive effective change will come

from strong leaders and it is critical thattheir potential be developed through edu-cation and mentorship. Our revisedname and brand was driven by the needto focusmore on leadership, as this is keyto creating lasting change in our coun-try,” he said.During a press conference before the

launch, Pienaar discussed how the Makea Difference Leadership Foundationraised the bar of education in the coun-try.He explained that the approach was to

identify academically talented pupils,who did not have the necessary financialresources and offer them support for edu-cation, leadership and life-skills develop-ment.Pienaar said a key message was that

there was an opportunity for everyone inSouth Africa to make a differencethrough mentoring and supporting tal-ented pupils with leadership potential in

all communities.“Imagine if we can grow an army of

young people who care about this coun-try, who care about society, who careabout education. What a powerful forcefor change that could be.”V For more information visit www.madcharity.orgor contact Amy Stevens on 021 974 6231 or [email protected].

Shark spotter Sarah tops SANICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Cape Town’s Shark Spotters have receivedyet another accolade, as project manager

Sarah Waries has been recognised on theMail & Guardian newspaper’s list of 200Young South Africans.Waries joined the Shark Spotters team in

2008. She startedmanaging it alongwith sev-eral otherprojects, but it hasnowgrown intoa full-time job.The programme now employs 45 people

working as shark spotters on eight beaches.“The nomination is great recognition.

We’ve been working very hard to grow theproject and we’re starting to get recognitionon somany levels. But the awards should re-ally go to the shark spotters themselves,”she says.Waries began her career as an environ-

mentalist when she moved to Cape Town tostudy baboons in Kommetjie as part of herHonours degree study. “I’ve always been ob-sessedwith animals. I was fortunate to growup in different countries and see some reallycool animals,” she says.Although she returned to the UK after-

wards, working on projects such as imple-menting the first recycling system at Wim-bledon, she couldn’t stay away from thebeauty of the Cape for long. “Cape Town hassuch a diverse and beautiful environment,”she says.But when Waries started on the Shark

Spotters project, she knew next to nothingabout sharks, she confesses. “I’ve learnt somuch about sharks and marine conserva-tion through the programme. It’s amazing tosee how somany people feel connected to thesea,” she says.False Bay boasts theworld’s largest aggre-

gation of white sharks on the doorstep of amajor city, with over 450 individual sharksidentified off Cape Town over the past 10years.The organisation is now bucking down to

prepare for the summer season, which willkick off with a symposiumonSouthernAfri-can sharks and rays, which will take placein Simon’s Town in September.The Shark Spotters will also visitWestern

Australia, to assess the feasibility of install-ing shark exclusion nets there, Waries says.“None of our programme is patented or

anything. We just want to help people.”Shark Spotter’s project manager Sarah Waries has been named as one of Mail & Guardiannewspaper’s 200 Young South Africans.

Farmers fightthe green fightNICOLE MCCAIN

Growing food is everyone’s responsibili-ty.This is the message of Green Guerril-

las, a group developing urban and guer-rilla farming techniques on their Im-hoff’s Gift plot.They will be hold-

ing an open day onSaturday 15 Augustto teach the commu-nity about closed-loop farming and cre-ative ways to growfood, even in smallspaces.“Our farm is an

outdoor lab for urbanagriculture.We practise growing food ona shoestring budget,” says Green Guer-rillas founder Akim Riemer.Green Guerrillas has run educational

programmes at local schools, believingthat education needs to change to bringchildren closer to nature.“The best way to get kids to eat their

broccoli is to have them grow it them-selves,” says Riemer.

A large focus of the work on the plotis to produce nutrient-rich soil. As thebulk of the soil in the region is sandy,this is done by creating rich compostfrom organic waste and the help of pigskept on the farm.“We’re seeing a second green revolu-

tion where we’re going back to puttingnutrients into thesoil instead of usingnitrate-based com-posts,” he says.Green Guerrillas

are looking to runcourses on urbanfarming in the futureandultimately openalearning centre, Ri-emer says.The open day will

be used to invite the community to shareideas and knowledge on urban farming,while illustrating easy ideas for garden-ing in small premises.“The luxury of doing nothing has

passed.Weneed to inspire people to growmore and change perceptions,” he says.V The plot can be found at 44 Lochiel Road. Entryis R15, which includes a green smoothie. For moreinformation email Anki on [email protected].

Stop the presses!For a good readNICOLE MCCAIN

“Free books, Tuesday afternoons.”The sign on Albertyn Road has beendrawing avid readers for almost four years,who every week gather to browse throughbooks set up on a wall in the busy street.Love stories and adventure novels, espe-cially byWilbur Smith, always find a home,surpassed only by Bibles and dictionaries.The books have all been saved from pulp-ing and are lined up in the hopes of findinga new home with one of the many pedestri-anspassingon theirway to or from the trainstation.And find a newhome they do,with almost20 boxes of books unpacked each week.PriscillaSeconna foundherself a few trea-sures among the books, saying her daugh-ter’s friends often stop there after school.She decided to stop when driving past.“It’s good to encourage reading. I oftenbuy second-hand books because new books

are expensive, or borrow from the library.There’s something for everyone,” she says.Rachel Fenner usually stops to browse onher way from the train station.“I’ve found quite a few books here overthe years,” she says. “This is a really awe-some project. I always look out for books onhealth foods or herbs, but there is a bit ofeverything.”But it’s not just pedestrians who lovebrowsing, says Sue Beattie, who sets up thefree book “shelf”.“Once a truck driver stopped in the streetand jumped out to get some books. Eventhough he was causing a traffic jam, he toldme he needed the books because ‘we truckdrivers often have to wait a long time’,” shesays.Children’s books are kept separate foryounger browsers.“Every child should have a shelf of booksthat are their own,” Beattie says. “This isabout promoting a reading culture. It’s nota charity project, it’s a reading project.”

Celebrating women who stand tallTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Mayor Patricia de Lille has praised blindwomen for their strength, courage and

perseverance in refusing to be defined bychallenging situations they have beenthrough or that they face every day.De Lille addressed women from South Af-rican Blind Women in Action (SABWIA) atthe Cape Town Society of the Blind in SaltRiver on Thursday last week.DeLille said at the event she chose to cele-brate Women’s Day with them as they werethe womenwho overcame adversity and re-fused to be victims. Instead, they took ac-tion to empower themselves and set a shin-ing example for everyone.“You remindme of the 20 000womenwho,on 9 August 1956, made history when theymarched to the Union buildings to petitionagainst the divisive pass laws. Those wom-en made a powerful statement that markedone of the most significant turning pointsin the fight against apartheid.“Like those women, you have also takena stand. Despite the physical challenges youface every day, you make a daily decisionnot to be victims of your circumstances. In-stead, your will to succeed has led you toovercome adversity, learn new skills anduse your time to serve people in need,” shesaid.

Empowering projectsSABWIA is an organisation that empow-ers blind women to live life to the fullest.It runs entrepreneurial projects, focusing

on knitting,weaving and craftwork, aswellas programmes that empower women byproviding social work services, placementservices, computer literacy, office adminis-tration and entrepreneurial training.Attending the event was Netty Coetzee(50), who said it was heart-warming.“We feel very excited that we are also re-membered. It makes us feel better that wedon’t live in a world of our own but peoplearound us notice that we are there and theydo things with us in mind.“I’m so happy and very excited that wehad to come together and celebrate as wom-en because there are a lot of challenges thatwe face,” she said.

DonationDe Lille donated R10 000 to help the orga-nisation run its programmes, aswell as var-ious food items like canned foods, vegeta-bles, rice and wool.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of the Cape TownSociety of the Blind, said women lived in atime where they were confronted with so-cial challenges but they had to stand theirground.“Do things for yourself, equip yourselfandmakemagic happen. Don’t let anythingbring you down, you have done a lot foryourselves,” she said.Elizabeth Maphike from SABWIA saidtheywere grateful and they hadn’t expectedit.“It’s such an honour to have such anevent. We are really happy and it gives usstrength to carry on with the work we dofor other blind women,” she said.

Participating in sports is not only goodfor health, it has also been proven to

bring mental benefits as well as affect be-haviour in class.For schoolchildren especially, running

around at break time or doing some physi-cal education not only helps them becomehealthy kids, but also helps them to be alertand concentrate much better in class.This came to light in a two-day schools

summit that was held at Groote SchuurHigh School last week.The summit discovered the importance

of schools sports, the benefits of it as wellas the challenges that schools are facing.The school sport summit aims to bring to-gether educators and key role players todiscuss these concepts.

SpeakersSome of the speakers over the two days

included Prof Tim Noakes, founder of theSports Science Institute of South Africa(SSISA), who talked about the power ofsport, Justin Durandt, manager of the Dis-coveryHighPerformanceCentre at theSSI-SA,CatherineDraper fromUCTwho talkedabout the spirit of sport, Morne du Plessis,co-founder of the SSISAwho also played forthe Springboks.Addressing those who attended the sum-

mit Du Plessis said sports played an impor-tant role in society.“Sport awakens hope and it has a unify-

ing role in society. Coming to school sports,when kids participate in sports they are ac-tive and happy. If sportsmake our childrenhappy then it’s very important.Without be-inga scientist,makinga childhappy is veryimportant so if sports does that, it justshows how important it is. School sportsimprove the child’s attitude, confidence. Itdoesn’t mean they have to excel but justtaking part in any sporting activities helpsa lot,” said Du Plessis.Despite the challenges that schools face,

like lack of facilities and equipment, it wasemphasised that children must participatein a sporting activity every day. Clubs andschools were encouraged to work togetherfor the betterment of sports.

Sport gives marksDraper said apart from keeping children

physically active sport also improved theiracademic results.“A lot of kids that take part in sports do

exceptionally well in their studies. Kidsmust not spend more than two hours onscreen time, be it TV, TV games or iPads,as it has been proven that those who spendmore hours on TV don’t do well at school.To have an active, healthy child theyshould take part in sports every day.“That’s why running around at break

time and physical education is very impor-tant for schools. Just by playing, it refresh-es their minds and increases their concen-tration spans. Those who take part insports tend to do way better at school. Ithelps kids concentrate and those who par-ticipate in sports behave much better inclasses and they achieve better grades,”said Draper.

Sportsare vitalin schools

An increase in thenumber of animals killednear nature reserves have officials callingon motorists to drive more cautiously.The City of Cape Town implores motor-

ists not to speed after it received more re-ports of animal killings on roads near theCity’s nature reserves.The City is now installing signs on the

most dangerous roads to caution drivers.The City’s environmental resource man-

agement department teams have reportedthemost killings on Baden Powell Drive be-tween Muizenberg and Macassar, Strand-fontein Road between Baden Powell Driveand 5th Avenue, the N2, the M3 betweenTokai and Hospital Bend, Clarence Driveand Sir Lowry’s Pass.Recently a number of animals have also

been killed on Ou Kaapse Weg. Especiallykelp gulls are killed on Baden Powell Drive.“We appeal to motorists to work with us

to protect Cape Town’s animal life by driv-ing carefully,” says Johan van der Merwe,mayoral committee member for energy, en-vironmental and spatial planning.“Manyof themotorists are not aware that

they are driving through these proclaimednature reserve areas, while at the sametime many of the animals are nocturnal, sothis makes it difficult for motorists to seethe animals at nightwhen they unexpected-ly cross the roads. Motorists must adhereto speed restrictions, particularly at night,”he says.V For more information on the nature reserves visitwww.capetown.gov.za/naturereserves.

Mitchell’s Plain girls wing it to the topEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

The sport of rugby is flourishing inMitchell’s Plain, but not in theway thatyou may think.

What started out as just a fledgling initia-tive a little less than sixmonths old, has nowflourished into amovementwhereby, for thefirst time, three girls from the area haveopened spots for themselves at provinciallevel.The Princeton duo of Leandi Smith and

Shoneez Sabatini, as well asWestridge HighSchool’s Michaela Palmer, are representingWP at u.16 and u.18 levels respectively.The Mitchell’s Plain regional team is

coached by Shafiek Murphy, who is alsofrom Princeton, and managed by Rabia Al-exander.“If you look at the girls’ region at the mo-

ment, our rugby is only five, six months old.At themomentwehave threeWPgirls in ourteam. They just came back fromnationals inOudtshoorn and they won the nationals andMichaela’s team (WP u.18) won their nation-als in Durban. Shoneez has (recently) beenincluded in the u.16 team,” says Murphy.Murphy insists that it wasn’t always easy

getting the initiative off the ground, beinga male coach coaching girls. He had to callon the likes of Alexander to help level theplaying field.“There was a call, there was a need for

women’s rugby and because you are a malecoach, you have to be very careful when itcomes to women’s rugby. I then called in Ra-bia and she became the team manager forteam Princeton,” says Murphy.He says that the girls play both sevens and

full matches and, depending on the event,the regions meet up at least once a monthto take part in a festival, which has takenon a league format.Alexander did not believe she would end

up being part of a women’s rugby team, butis thoroughly enjoying the experience.“Our girls are doing excellently and the

team work is great. First it was just Prince-

ton against Westridge and all the otherschools, but since we have combined, thelove for the game is even better now thatthey are a combined team. I can only seeour girls going forwardwith the rugby, (be-cause) Western Province is offering a lot.“The secret is the commitment and the

coach is there for them as well as me. Thegirls know that if they have a problem theycan come to me or they can go to Coach.It makes it easier for him, that I am a wom-an and a mother. If something goes wrongor if they get hurt, where Coach can’t touchthem, then I am there to see where some-thing is wrong, so it is amazing to be here,”says Alexander.Shoneez (15) says rugby just became an

overnight passion of hers and that she seesa future for herself in the sport.“I just tried it out. Something just made

me want to try it out. It was just about hav-ing fun, trying our best and doing it as ateam. Rugby builds me as a person and Iam doing it for my future. I want to givemy mother a better life, because she is do-ing her best to provide for me, so I mustdomybest at school andwhat I have, Imustdo my best so that I can provide for her,”she says..Michaela (16), meanwhile, started play-

ing the sport after her classmates insistedshe join them. She found the adrenalinrush she gets from playing is particularlyaddictive, while Leandi fell in lovewith thesport because she is sporty by nature.“I first played touch rugby, but then WP

coach Ramsay came to our school and in-troduced full contact rugby to us. I run alot and I run fast, so I love scoring tries,”Leandi beams.Murphy says future plans involve devel-

oping a high-performance group of playersto feed and strengthenWPwomen’s rugby.“I want to have 30 players and another

squad of 30 we can feed off; that is what wewant to do, we want the cycle to grow. Bynext year, when WP call on us again, wewant to have between 6 and 10WP girls, be-cause the talent lies in Mitchell’s Plain.”

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

Riders hoping to enter next year’s CapeTown Cycle Tour (CTCT) will have toadhere to new, groundbreaking entry

requirements.The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust

(CTCTT), which organises and runs therace, has announced a new entry system.An online “ballot system” will now re-

place the first-come, first-serve process,which the Trust says will bring them in linewith other international events. Such a bal-lot system has never been used in a SouthAfrican race before.This is in an effort to give every potential

entrant a fair chance of competing in therace by avoiding a fast sell-out of spots,which has been the case in the race’s recenthistory. Entries to this year’s race sold outin a record eight hours.The Trust has also increased the number

of entries from 35 000 to 40 000, butDavidBel-lairs, a director of the Trust, confirms thatno corporate group entries will be allowed,encouraging those who have made use ofthese entries in the past to follow either thepublic entry process or take up the opportu-nity to support a charity.Bellairs says these charities will be allo-

cated 7000 entries and the Pedal PowerAsso-ciation (PPA) will receive 5000 entries,which will be given to random members ofthe Association.“To honour PPA as founders of the event,

its paid-up members will be offered an ‘ear-ly-bird’ opportunity to register their interestin an entry to next year’s race.“Thosewho are unsuccessful in the initial

PPAballotwill automatically beadded to thegeneral public ballot, starting on 9 Septem-ber, giving them an additional chance to beawarded an entry,” Bellairs explains.27 000 ballotswill be available to the gener-

al public, with a further 1000made availabletodevelopmental associationsaswell as sub-stitutions.Registration of interest in obtaining a bal-

lot will be free and will open on 9 Septemberat 13:00.The window for such registration will re-

main open until 25 September at 13:00.Prospective riders (both local and interna-

tional) can register their interest at www.cycletour.co.za.Doing so amounts to an indication of inter-

est only, and will not ensure entry, and will

require prospective entrants to update theirdetails at the same time.In the week following the closure of the

window for registration, successful appli-cants will receive emails from the CTCT toconfirm that they have been awarded an en-try, which will cost R470 per local rider.International entrieswill remain openun-

til February, or until the allocation of 5000riders is reached, and will cost R800 each.Unsuccessful applicants will also receive

an email and will be invited to enter via asupporting charity or by means of the offi-cial substitution process in January.Successful applicants will have until 26

October to pay and secure their entry. Pay-ment not received before this date, or the ap-plicant’s option to decline the entry, will re-sult in that entry being made available to apreviously unsuccessful rider.According to Bellairs, online ballots have

been successful in topEuropeanandAmer-ican sporting events.“Such systems have become standard

practice at key sporting events around theworld, including the New York Marathonand Boston Marathon. The Trust, alongwith its three co-naming rights sponsors –Cape Argus, Pick n Pay and Momentum –carefully researched and considered all op-tions, and we are confident that our newprocess will serve riders well and furtherentrench the global appeal of the CTCT,”he says.“We want to avoid thousands of appli-

cants rushing to be first in line as the entryportal opens, and being disappointedwhenthey sell out in a matter of hours.“Our intention is to create a fairer sys-

tem as it allows for a greater and more in-clusive opportunity for securing an entry.Entrieswill be awarded at random, regard-

less of whether interest is registered on thefirst or the last day of the registration peri-od. We believe the implementation of thisnew system is the best way forward,” con-cludes Bellairs.The CTCT takes place on 6 March.
