Sustain our sealifeLocal conservation organisations have

thrown their weight behind a proposedincrease to the number of marine pro-

tected areas (MPAs).BirdLife, Save Our Seas Foundation and

other organisations have started an onlinepetition to raise support for the increase inMPAs, followingan internal commitment bynational government to increase formalocean protection to 5% of the exclusive eco-nomic zone, as part of Operation Phakisa, to22 new MPAs.MPAs safeguard ocean habitats to ensure

that human activities like fishing, mining,and tourism are sustainable in the longterm.

Despite their critical role, only 0.4% ofSouthAfrica’smainland oceans are current-ly under formal protection, compared to al-most 10% of our terrestrial area.With the growing human pressures from

marine mining, energy supply, fishing, aq-uaculture and tourism, our oceanshavenev-er been in greater need of protection, the pe-tition says.BirdLife South Africa, the Centre for En-

vironmental Rights, I Am Water, the SaveOur Seas Foundation and WWF-SA haveunited in their support for this process.Eleanor Yeld Hutchings, the Save Our

Seas Foundation Shark Education Centremanager, says: “We all have a stake in this

process. The step is the result of years of ex-cellent research, collating the best availablescience and investing in sound conservationplanning.“However, the designation of these MPAs

– seeing them through to proclamation – re-lies on the buy-in and support from not onlythe scientists and NGOs of this country, butthe South African public whose future is in-vested in this process.”Humanactivities, like fishingandmining,

are increasingly impacting the functioningof marine ecosystems, Yeld Hutchings ex-plains.“MPAs are a conservation tool to protect

vulnerable ecosystems and endangered spe-

cies, setting aside ocean habitats where hu-man activities are regulated to allow for ref-uge and recovery.“This ultimatelymeans that human activ-

ities are made more sustainable in the longterm. Marine protected areas are an invest-ment in the future: for instance, by provid-ing a place for fish to recover their popula-tions by breeding without exploitation, spe-cies can come back from the brink ofcommercial extinction.”Our oceans underpinmajor economic sec-

tors in South Africa, such as fisheries, tour-ism, aquaculture and mining, Yeld Hutch-ings says.V Continued on page 2.

FROM PAGE 1

“We need to protect and sustain oceanbiodiversity and habitats if we are to de-rive the benefits from our rich ecosys-tems. Our growing human population,with the resultant pressures from hu-man activities and commitments to fu-ture development, means that the num-ber of MPAs needs to increase to safe-guard enough biodiversity to ensure asustainable future.”SouthAfricahas committed to a global

agreement called theConvention onBio-logical Diversity (CBD), Yeld Hutchingsexplains. “Signatories to the CBD agreeto conserve biodiversity (10% of ouroceans by 2020) in order to provide last-ing development benefits to the nation.Currently, only 0.4% of South Africa’soceans are formally protected. Govern-ment has also launched Operation Pha-kisa to develop our ‘BlueEconomy’. Thishopefully represents a key step towardsaddressing economic growth and equali-ty for our citizens; however, sustainabil-ity should be at the core of any future de-velopment, if the benefits from develop-ment are to be equitable and lasting.MPAs are a part of this solution.”The declaration of new MPAs will

hopefully lay the groundwork for in-creasing total protection to 10%in the fu-ture, Yeld Hutchings says. “In tangibleterms, this presents new opportunitiesfor alternative forms of development,like ecotourism, in these areas. It alsosets up a sustainable framework whichcan support future development oppor-tunities, as we develop our Blue Econo-my and strengthen other economic sec-tors.“Ranked as the third most biodiverse

country in theworld, SouthAfricans canrightly be proud of what represents alandmark step towards recognising this,and implementing policies that acceptour role as custodians of this country.”

‘Men who rape are uselessand stupid’ – Chaka ChakaTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“Today is the day we all say enough isenough. Rape and abuse has no colour

and it doesn’t care whether you’re white orblack, but today it must stop.”These were the words of legendary musi-

cian Yvonne Chaka Chaka, a guest speakerat the 11th lunch of 1000 Women UnitedAgainst Domestic Violence andAbuse, heldat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Thursday last week.Women from different areas came togeth-

er to speak about abuse and said it was timethey stood together to put an end to it. Theday was also used to celebrate women whohave stood tall to talk about their circum-stances. A group of women who are part ofthe “I’m Beautiful Project” spoke abouttheir different experiences of violence andabuse.The exhibition will be at the CTICC for

a month. Thereafter it will move to the Me-dia24 building before it goes to Pick n Pay’soffices.In South Africa, one in every four women

is caught in an abusive relationship. Everysix days, a woman is murdered by her inti-mate partner.More shocking is that a woman is raped

every 25 seconds of every day.These horrific statistics are nothing new

to people living in South Africa as the esca-lating level of abuse is broadcast 24 hoursa day via media channels.The luncheon was a call to all South Afri-

cans to stand together and speakout againstthe abuse of our women.Chaka Chaka said now was the time to

fight for women so that they won’t beblamed by the next generation. “All menwho rape and are abusive, are useless andstupid. They are not worth living. As wom-en it’s time we take a stand. Women shouldbe nurtured and looked after by men. Wemust work with each other to complete oneanother, not to compete. Its high time menlearned to respect women. We are not hereto compete, but to be equals and work to-gether.”She added that mothers have a huge re-

sponsibility to play if the war against vio-lence and abuse was to be won. “Mothers,

let’s teach our children that women are notdoormats. They must be respected. Let’steach our kids that women are importantand they should be valued, not trampled on.It starts at home. If we raise good sons whorespect women then we have won the war.”Turning to women she told them to speak

against rape and abuse.“Women need to start talking about these

things, not to make fun of women beingabused. In South Africa we have a hugeproblem. We look the other way whenthings begin to happen.We need to stand to-gether. Women, talk to one another.“Don’t stay in an abusive relationship. If

he loves you, hewon’t abuse you. Some staybecause theyhavenowhere to go. Some staybecause the man is the provider. No, Godgave you your brains and hands – use themto work for yourself. Men are here to hold

our hands and we walk together side byside. We all can’t make it on our own – weneed each other as man and woman, but weshould never, ever allow ourselves to beabused.”Wendy Ackerman, patron of the event,

said she was happy that a lot of people cameout to say they have had enough.“The message has to go out there. Touch

more women and we start to talk aboutthese things and we do something about it.The power of your voice has to be heard. Atthemomentwomen’s voices are not as loud,but the message is very clear today – we’vehad enough and abuse and rape must stopnow.”The money raised at the event will help

to provide access to skills, knowledge andresources and to provide seed funding towomen-led organisations.

Endangeredbird eggs stolenNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

An investigation is underway to ascer-tain how African Penguin eggs were

stolen from the Boulders Penguin Colo-ny.A man was arrested on Tuesday 10

May in Glencairn by members of theCity’s Law Enforcement Marine Unit,while trying to sell the eggs of the endan-gered African Penguin.The suspect had allegedly harvested

two eggs, most probably from the Boul-ders area, and was trying to sell it tomembers of the public when he wasnabbed by the officers.He was taken to Simon’s Town police

station and placed under arrest.The eggs were safely handed over to

SANparks staff.While themanagement of TableMoun-

tain National Park (TMNP) has wel-comed the arrest in a statement, it re-mains unclear at this stage from whichpart of the Boulders Colony – which con-sists of SANParks, City of Cape Townand private property – the eggs were tak-en.The eggs were sent for verification to

the Southern African Foundation for theConservation of Coastal Birds (SANC-COB) who confirmed that the eggs wereindeed penguin eggs. SANCCOB is cur-

rently busy with a report regarding thecondition of the eggs.African Penguins are classified as en-

dangered by the IUCN Red List and it islisted under appendix II of Conventionon the Trade of Endangered Species. InSouth Africa it is further listed as a pro-tected species under the BiodiversityAct.“It is for this reason that TMNP views

these illegal actions as serious and willcontinue to work together with otherconservation bodies to ensure the sur-vival of the species,” the organisationsays in a statement.SANParks has law enforcement staff

and security on patrol within the park atthe Boulders Penguin Colony 24 hours aday andwill continuewith these patrols,the statement states.“Because this is not an isolated inci-

dent we do regular patrols in the area toprevent this from happening. SANParksand other agencies will continue to in-vestigate to determine what could havebeen his motivation for removing theeggs,” it stated.“Given the expanse of the colony at

Boulders and the fact that the penguinsbreed inside and outside of the nationalpark, management would like to encour-age residents and visitors to report anypossible transgressions to the authori-ties as soon as possible.”

Local kitten one of 35worldwide in rare findThe world’s rarest kitten – a Lykoi orWere-wolf Cat – has been rescued from The Com-pany’s Garden by staff and volunteers fromTears Animal Rescue Feral Cat Project.The cat, found under a bush, is the only

natural-born Lykoi on record in SouthAfri-ca and one of just 35 in the world, makingthis one of the most exciting discoveries inthe South African animal world in recentyears. Part of a litter of six kittens taken toTears for sterilisation in March after thedisappearance of their mother, the onlystrange-looking kitten in the litter has sincebeen confirmed as an incredibly rareLykoi.The kitten’s strange appearance prompt-

ed Tears’ veterinarian, Dr Tracy Dicks, totake skin scrapings to test for various skindiseases. All returned negative findingsand with the help of Tears’ operations andfeline programme manager, Mandy Store,the search to uncover the mystery of thisstrange cat began in earnest.Store says: “The mother and five other

kittens in the litter – all short-haired domes-tic tabbies – gave us no clues about our newarrival so we widened our research. Wewere absolutely stunned to discover thatwe’d brought into our shelter the rarest kit-

ten in South Africa – the weird, wonderfuland legendary Werewolf Cat.”United States veterinarian and world Ly-

koi specialist, Dr Johnny Gobble, says thelittle Lykoi at Tears is the first natural mu-tation in South Africa reported to him.“The Lykoi breeder in South Africa start-

ed with Lykoi cats from another breederthat we began with our lines, so those catswere bred and did not occur naturally.”Gobble, fascinated by rare breeds and ge-

netics, was the first breeder of Lykoi in theworld from naturally occurring Lykoi. Heis not surprised that the only natural SouthAfrican Lykoi was found living wild undera bush.“All of the Lykoi that started the breed

were found in very similar situations. Wehave some from shelters, some from feralcat colony trap and release programmes,and some that were found on the streets.This is why we call the Lykoi a secondchance breed. All of the cats in the startingprogrammewere rescues.Theyhaveagreatpersonality overall, and we have found nogenetic health problems so far. Since theycome from the feral colonies, I think theyhave great immune systems.”

The discovery made sense ofthe kitten’s unusual behaviour– Tears staff had observed thathe did not play as a typical catwould, and displayed qualitiesthat were more dog-like. Initial-ly it was assumed that he main-tained his aloof and stoic de-meanour because he was a shyferal, but it is now clear that thisis the typical behaviour of a Ly-koi.Tearshasnamed the rare trea-

sure Eyona.Eyona is in the safe care of

Tears Animal Rescue and willnot be rehomed. He has beengiven a happy and quiet place inwhich to develop as a normalkitten would, despite being one-of-a-kind.

The world’s rarest kitten – a Lykoi or Werewolf Cat – hasbeen rescued from The Company’s Garden.

‘The problem is notplastic, but people’DESIREE RORKE

@dezzierorke

Plastic is inevitable. It’s not the enemy – weare.World renowned Belgian artist William

Sweetlove reckons a world without plasticis no longer possible.“The problem isn’t the plastic itself, but

the fact that people burn it and throw it intothe sea,” he says.He brings this conservation message

home in a whimsical yet compelling exhibi-tion of neo-pop sculptures, which opened atthe Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gar-den on Wednesday 11 May.Labelled “Water Wars”, the exhibition

tells the story ofmankind’s warwith water.By 2025, one in three people will live with

absolute water scarcity, according to thefood and agriculture organisation of theUnited Nations.“Yet, the excesses of humanity are threat-

ening our natural resources,” he says.Sweetlove’s sculptures are made from re-

cycled plastic from landfills and transformordinary animals and objects into iconicfigures.His unique works of art have challenged

people to become environmental thinkersfor close to 50 years through more than 600exhibitions worldwide.

It is not difficult to see why.The pieces are bold and playful, but defi-

nitely make you think. More than 60 red,black and white penguins positioned orrather installed in the Vlei Garden, for ex-ample, draw the attention to the impendingshortage of clean drinking water.“They have water bottles tied to their

backs suggesting a survival measure, andface the mountain in an almost pleadingfashion – pleading for fresh water.”At the Old Dam, the Fisherman-hunter

sculpture speaks to our dwindling ocean re-sources. “In order for the fisherman to sur-vive, he eats less and therefore has shrunk.As there are no fish left in the ocean, he hasnow become a hunter.”In addition to his solo work sculpture,

Sweetlove has worked collaboratively withother artists for more than 20 years as amember of the Cracking Art Group, found-ed in 1983 in northern Italy. Their collectivework calls attention to environmental andsocial issues.One such poignant installation shows the

plight of the turtles in Venice as they try toescape the canals that keep them fromreaching the ocean.The exhibition will continue at Kirsten-

bosch until 11 June, after which it will jour-ney through South Africa, ending in Preto-ria.

Local club gets nod from LiverpoolSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_lee121

Mitchell’s Plain has been put onthe soccer map as a local sup-

porters’ club based in Westridgegets international recognition.The Liverpool Supporters’ Club

CapeTownNorth received their of-ficial status as a registered and rec-ognised supporters’ club of the fa-mous soccer club in February thisyear.The club’s official home turf is at

Premium Sports Bar in Westridge.To date the club has hundreds of

members from across Cape Town.Neil Ruiters, chairperson of the

club, says registering was impor-tant to them.“There aremany fans in the area

that wanted to belong to Liverpooland go beyond just supporting thesoccer club,” says Ruiters.William Goliath, bar owner and

additional member of the commit-tee, says they will soon have a liveonline application form to becomepart of the club.Goliath says interested parties

can also request application formsvia Facebook or come to the pub ongame days.

“Game days are full and we in-vite other supporters clubs to comewatch the games when we playeach other,” says Goliath.But beyond the rivalry on the

field, Earl Pentolfe, member re-sponsible for the disciplinaryboard, says they have no rivalry

among each other as supporters.“We make sure there is no fight-

ing and the code of conduct is up-held. If anyone gets out of line, theywill be asked to leave,” says Pentol-fe.“We had visitors from the UK

and Scotland and they were

amazed. They said this was un-heard of in England. Supportersdon’t get along.”In October, the club will become

the Liverpool Supporters’ ClubCape Town, as an application fromanother Cape group was unsuc-cessful, making them the only offi-

cial one on Liverpool records.Recently all supporters’ clubs

got together to host a tournamentof their own.Thenewclub, in its infancy, took

home the winning trophy and an-other, naming them the best sup-porters’ club for the day.“We are all friends and we all

support different teams for differ-ent reasons, but we respect that.When we get together, there is uni-ty among rivals,” says Ruiters.Some of the benefits have been

meet-and-greets with some of theplayers and access to the officialsupporters’ stands at Anfield Sta-dium.But the group have bigger hearts

than just that which beat for clubsoccer.This year the fan club linked up

with Ithemba Labantwana inKhayelitsha and will continue toassist them in various aspects.Pentolfe says moving forward

theyhope to brand thenameacrossCape Town and also continue withtheir CSI initiatives.V The Club will host an open day and offi-cial launch on Friday 1 July. For more infor-mation visit their Facebook page: LiverpoolSupporters Club Cape Town North.

Abalone haul seizedPolice say they are not backing down inthe fight against criminals who are de-

pleting marine resources.This after police seized abalone with a

street value of R950 000 at Hout Bay Har-bour last week.According to a statement issued by pro-

vincial police spokesperson Constable Nol-oyiso Rwexana, police received informa-tion about possible poaching at Robben Is-land.A joint operation was conducted by the

CapeTownSeaBorder PoliceUnit, the Spe-cial TaskForce andDepartment ofAgricul-ture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF).A vessel was spotted entering Hout Bay

Harbour on Friday morning at about 04:00,without any navigational lights.The poaching vessel spotted the law en-

forcement vessels and sped off into HoutBay Harbour.The crew and divers on board the vessel

evaded arrest by jumping off onto the quay-side and disappeared among the factories.The vesselwas left abandoned next to the

quayside with motors still running, saysRwexana.

It was inspected and found to be carryingmultiple bags of abalone, as well as divingequipment.The vessel was seized and taken to Cape

Town harbour for further investigation.A total of 2858 units of abalone, nineWest

Coast rock lobsters and other equipmentwere seized.No arrests have been made yet.

Abalone that was found at the Hout Bayharbour when police received a tip off aboutpoaching.

A poaching vessel that was used to transport abalone suspected to be poached from RobbenIsland was caught in Hout Bay where the abalone was to be delivered.

EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

GREEN POINT CHCADMINISTRATION CLERK: ADMISSIONS (INFORMATIONMANAGEMENT)Remuneration: R142 461 per annum

The civil service construction tender proc-ess for the Masiphumelele Phase 4 BreakingNew Ground housing project is under way.

The first stage of the City of Cape Town’shousing project, earmarked for qualifyingapplicants living in Masiphumelele back-yards and the informal settlement situatedin the wetland, will see the construction of227 fully serviced sites on which subsidisedunits will be built at a later stage.

The housing project will be constructedbetween the existing formal area and thesports fields (“New houses planned”, Peo-ple’s Post, 12 January).

Stage Two, comprising 96 fully servicedsites and subsidised houses, will follow ata later stage.

A total of R50m has been allocated for thefirst and second stages and if all goes ac-cording to plan, the civil services for thefirst stage will be constructed between Sep-tember 2016 and June 2017, while the StageTwo houses will be built between July 2017and June 2018.

Construction on stage two will start whenthe temporary relocation area located di-rectly north of the Fish Eagle Park industri-

al area is decommissioned. This is yet to bedetermined, says Mayco member for hu-man settlements, Benedicta van Minnen.

“We are doing everything that we can toease the acute housing need in Masiphume-lele and also in many of the other areasacross the metro.

“In areas such as Masiphumelele, whereresidents are well organised on politicaland civic levels, we are absolutely depend-ent on the support and the cooperation fromthe residents and the leadership of the com-munity,” she says.

Often projects are delayed because of alack of assistance at grassroots level, forvarious reasons, Van Minnen says.

“This is to the detriment of our most vul-nerable residents and our aim of enhancingthe delivery of housing opportunities andbasic services as a means of driving redress.We also ask members of the community fortheir assistance by helping us to keep theland earmarked for this project clear of anyillegal structures. The illegal erection ofstructures will be to the severe detrimentof the legitimate beneficiaries of theproject.”

Masi housing tenderprocess breaks ground

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Anew public transport interchangewhere residents will have a safe and dig-

nified area for waiting and connecting withtheir fellow commuters is the vision behinda soon-to-be constructed facility in Masiph-umelele.

The public transport facility, set to beconstructed on land directly across fromthe existing informal taxi rank, houses notonly a taxi rank, but also civil infrastruc-ture, an admin building in support of thetaxi rank where operators and managementwill be able to conduct meetings, stormwa-ter infrastructure, non-motorised transportinfrastructure such as universally accessi-ble walking lanes so that pedestrians canhave safe and easy access to the facility, aswell as hard and soft landscaping intendedto beautify the facility, such as benches andplants.

Mayco member for transport, Brett Her-ron, says the facility will cater for four taxiroutes operating to Fish Hoek, Kommetjie,Simon’s Town and Noordhoek, and will ac-commodate 60 minibus taxis.

“The minibus taxi operators are operat-ing from a vacant erf with no services or fa-cilities to commuters and operators. Com-

muters are exposed to the elements and thearea poses a safety and security risk.

“It is the intention to create a safe and dig-nified public transport interchange for allof those who need to make use of publictransport in the vicinity of the taxi rank.”

In 2011 Transport for Cape Town conduct-ed a condition assessment of all of the publictransport facilities across the city.

“At that time we identified that taxis op-erate from an informal taxi rank wherecommuters and taxi operators have no shel-ter against bad weather or access to properfacilities,” he says.

“We want to transform this space into anew public transport interchange whereresidents will have a safe and dignified areafor waiting and connecting with their fellowcommuters. I am confident that the localcommunity will benefit significantly fromthis imminent investment for years to comeand that it will help to improve the qualityof life of our residents in Masiphumelele.”

A survey was conducted in February 2013and at the time it was established that near-ly 3300 commuters were transported byminibus taxis from this informal taxi rank,Herron says.

Construction is expected to start in No-vember, if all goes according to plan, Her-ron says..

E.T.A. Hoffmann, this sparklingproduction of the beloved ballethas a short run from Monday 25to Sunday 29 May.With its charming and mis-

chievous plot, brightly-col-oured costumes and glori-ous music, Coppélia is asideal for families andserious dance lovers,as it is for newcomersto the ballet.True love triumphs in

“I call it my cause album,” Auriol Hayssays of her upcoming release.

The local singer will be officially launch-ing her aptly named Dreaming Music at asecret locationonSaturday28Mayandwithit, she hopes to give a voice to those whoneed it.While she’s very aware that

the songs on her new albummay not suit commercial ra-dio, Auriol says: “They comefrom a very deep place andthey are meant to create a dif-ference.”One of the songs on the al-

bum, for example is “Come toMe”, which she wrote to raiseawareness about “The Arctic30” a group of Greenpeace ac-tivists and journalists whowere arrested for protestingagainst oil drilling in the Arc-tic. She was invited to per-form the song on a Green-peace boat last year whentheir RainbowWarrior was docked in CapeTown. Another of her songs “Pray forRain”has been used by the Dress Jozi Campaign,an organisation that helps care for thehomeless residents of Johannesburg.“That’s a wonderful thing.”Then there’s her track “Help me Out”

which has been used by the South AfricanDepression and Anxiety Group (SADAG).“I like that the music is being used by or-

ganisations that want to create some kindof change.”Auriol says many fans refer to her previ-

ous album, Call it Love as “a break-up al-bum”. “It was sad and beautiful,” she says,adding: “This album, I’d like to think, is somuch happier and bolder.”The music switches between blues, folk,

reggae with elements of many other genres,including what Auriol calls her “Bond-in-spired song”. “Because I’m a storyteller, I

tell the story inwhicheverwayworks best.”She’s also quick to point out that the fan-

tastic band behind her helped “bring every-thing to life”.Auriol is currently working with bassist

Andre Webb, who also acts as her musicaldirector, guitarist Jason De Laney, drum-mer Jason Beukes and keyboardist YvanPotts and when asked how she met them,she quips: “I’m blaming the gods on that

one.”When she returned to Cape

Town after working in Johan-nesburg for three years, Auri-ol says a random person, “outof the goodness of his heart”,connected her with a group.While Andre is the only sur-viving band member, the situ-ation evolved into one whereshe now works with what shecalls: “an amazing bunch ofmusicians”. While many ofthemplay for other artists,Au-riol says she always workswith the groupwhen formulat-ing a song “so that it’s our mu-sic and not my music”.

“We always have a good time on stage.”Away from the stage, Auriol is also mov-

ing into the film industry, playing the roleof the “seer” in the local Sci-Fi series Spe-lonk. A song she released with CrimsonHouse frontman Riaan Smit “Child Atone”will also be featured in the post-apocalypticpiece that explores what music and lan-guage would sound like in 2044.Auriol is also in the process of writing a

book which she is releasing in segments onherwebsite. “I am essentially writing tomygreat granddaughter about music and life,”she explains.“Writing is a release,” she says, before

adding: “When I finally get to perform, I’mfree.”V For more information about Auriol Hays, a tasteof her music or to read segments from her book, visitauriolhays.co.za. For more about Spelonk visitwww.spelonkfilm.com.

Fund Tavia’sscreenwritingdreamCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Her vivid imagination has put her on thepath of realising her dreams.

Andnow20-year-oldTaviaMillward fromOttery will soon be jetting off to Vancouverto fulfil her dream of becoming a successfulscreenwriter.However, the only thing standing in her

way of successfully completing a yearcourse at the Vancouver Film School and“coming back to inspire the youth and cre-ate an army of screenwriters in disadvan-taged areas and schools”, is a measlyR16 000.Millward needs people to assist and help

raise this money so her seat can be kept atthe film school that also delivered NeillBlomkamp, co-writer and director of thecritically acclaimed movie District 9, as analumni from the same school.“Becoming a screenwriter was not my

first choice of career. After matriculating,I applied to study in the medical field. I as-sume I made this choice because I enjoyedGrey’s Anatomy so much,” she laughs.ButMillward says her obsession with the

medically-set serieswas not because she en-joyed the field itself.“I think I enjoyed the film work more

than anything. This only later on madesense tomeandnow Ihavedecided to followmy dream of becoming a screenwriter,” shesays.And what has made her even more deter-

mined in her bid to make a success of thisnewchallenge iswhen someone told her shecouldn’t do it.“I had to fetch reference letters from my

high school principal and when we spokeabout my future plans and I told him thatI will be doing screenwriting he basicallytold me that I could not do it.“I was shocked that someone who is sup-

posed to support and motivate the youthcould tell me this. But that day I left his of-fice and I told him that I would prove himwrong,” she says.Millward studied at the Cape Peninsula

University of Technology in their film de-partment before she realised that she wasmore interested with the idea of having herown work come to life off the pages insteadof camera operating.“I spoke to my lecturers about this and

they were very supportive. My one lecturer

suggested that I start looking at my optionsand that’s when I came across the Vancou-ver Film School. I decided to take a leap offaith because I want this dream that bad,”Millward says.The petite girl who is obsessedwithWest-

ern-themed films and Quentin Tarantinosays after submitting her application dur-ing December, she received a call one even-ing after 21:00.“I was doing my hair when the call came

through and the person on the other end in-troduced themselves from the VancouverFilmSchool.At that time Ididnotknowthatit was the call. I remember the caller askedmewhat do I know about Vancouver and allI said was ‘it is cold!’,” Millward laughs.V Continued on page 3.After confirming that shewas accepted to

the school, Millward says she informed herfamily, lecturers and class mates.“My familywasn’t surprised,” she beams,

“andmy lecturers and classmateswere alsoall very supportive when they heard Iwasn’t coming back this year,” she says.Millward says after receiving the news,

she had to resign fromher part time job andgrief struck the family at the same time.“I worked at a retail store for three years

– fresh out of high school, earning moneyseemed fun. Man, the feeling of earningyour own money... The feeling of spendingit felt good as well. The feeling of greed ishidden so well that you cannot even see it,”she says.She felt despondent at her place of work

and knew it was time for change.“As time passed, my job sucked; I mean

– it was retail, after all. If you haven’tworked in a retail store, please try it. Trustme, try it. A guy once told me ‘When youleave high school find a job you hate. Youmay not hate it at first, but find somethingwhere your heart is not into it – somethingthat does not interest you. It will motivateyou so, so much to get out and do what youlove.’ This year, in February – a day aftermy grandmother’s passing – I officially re-signed,” Millward recounts.She has since started a crowdfunding

campaign that has reaped only R2300 so far.If shemisses her deadline to pay the R16 000they pass her acceptance on to the next can-didate.V If you would like to donate to Tavia Millward soshe can become a successful screenwriter, visit http://taviatequila.wix.com/howtofundadream

Tavia Millward has been accepted at the Vancouver Film School but needs funds to reserveher seat as a student. Here Millward points out her prized book collection.

LEGAL TALK WITH DENZIL

ChangingnuptialagreementsIt is common practice that couples get mar-ried “out of community of property”. Butas people become more and more informedand educated, many wish to change theirmatrimonial regime after they have beenlegally married.Most people think that yourmatrimonial

regime is caste in “matrimonial stone”, butit can be changed after the marriage.Section 21(1) of theMatrimonial Property

Act provides that maried couples may ap-ply jointly to a court for leave to change thematrimonial property system that appliesto theirmarriage. The courtmay order thatthe existing matrimonial property systemno longer applies to their marriage andmay authorise them to enter into a notarialcontract by which their future/new matri-monial property system is to be regulatedon conditions as the court may deem fit.This Act requires that the court must be

satisfied that there are sound reasons forthe suggested change, sufficient notice ofthe suggested change has been given to allthe creditors of both spouses and that noother person will be prejudiced by the pro-posed change.The application must be brought in the

court in the area of jurisdiction in whichthe couple resides and must include infor-mation concerning any change of address.

Guidelines. Notice must be given to the Registrar

of Deeds in terms of section 97(1) of theDeeds Registries Act and must contain ap-propriate submissions with regard to theregistration procedure of the immovableproperties as contained in the agreement.

. The draft notarial contract must be an-nexed to the application.

. Notice of intention tomake the applica-tion must be published in the GovernmentGazette and two local newspapers at leasttwo weeks before the date on which the ap-plication will be heard at court.

. The date on which the application willbe heardmust be specified in the publishednotice and anyone who wishes to object tothe proposed change, or to make any repre-sentations in that regard, must be told thatthis can be done bywriting to the Registrarof the court and sending a copy to the appli-cants’ attorney, or by appearing in court onthe date of the hearing. The notice must al-so state that the application and proposedcontract can be inspected at the office of theRegistrar and the applicants’ attorney.

. At least two weeks’ prior notice of theapplication must be given by certified postto all creditors and a list of creditors, veri-fied by affidavit,must be included in the ap-plication along with proof that notice hasbeen given to them.

Financial position. Sufficient information regarding the

assets and liabilities of the couple must beset out in the application.

. The application must include detailson any past sequestration and any pendinglegal proceedings in which a creditor isseeking to recover payment of debt due byeither one of the couple.

. If any change in the parties’ financialposition occurs before the application isheard, a supplementary affidavit reflectingsuch change must be filed.

Sound reasons for the changeCare must be taken to motivate fully the

proposed change in the existing matrimo-nial property system. The reasons reasonsmust be convincing, valid and anchored toreality. Applicants must explain why noother person will be prejudiced by the pro-posed change. The order sought and thecontract which it is proposed to registermust contain a provision which preservesthe rights of pre-existing creditorsThe desire to change the matrimonial re-

gime is usually to protect assets from cred-itors. Aswe can see from the above it is pos-sible to change your matrimonial regimebut the reasons and process submitted tothe court can be onerous.

LETTERS

Build apermanentstationOne day after the Western Cape policeombudsman, Advocate Vusi Pikoli,visited Masiphumelele on Wednesday 13April in order to listen to the residents’concerns about crime and violence –mainly related to drug abuse and theselling of drugs – the so far only mobilepolice station (a small van next to thecommunity hall) was removed withoutfurther explanation.The recent violent conflict between

Masi activists and taxi owners, whichalso affected our neighbours, was solvedmainly via tough and tireless negotia-tions by Masi elders and communityleaders.But to deal with organised drug

crimes is not only too much, it is alsotoo dangerous for us who have to lookafter our families and children.It is therefore with great concern that

we received, only one month after thevisit of Advocate Pikoli, the officialinformation from the Ocean ViewCommunity Police Forum (on 14 May)that “the police van failed its roadwor-thy test, parts must be imported fromFrance... and this is apparently alengthy process”.In fact, nobody, also not the Ocean

View Police Station commander, cansay how many months this will last.Our main concern is the ongoing

crimes related to drug abuse and theselling of drugs.This will explode in violence and

toyi-toyi again unless Masiphumelelewill get a permanent police station.Parents can’t fight druglords alone.We ask our neighbours around Masi,

also all civic organisations like ratepayers and neighbourhood watches, tohelp us in this struggle for a permanentpolice station, as only this will bringmore peace to all families in Masi andthe whole valley.

TSHEPO MOLETSANE,DR LUTZ VAN DIJK

Masiphumelele

Community needsbetter police supportPouf! The new mobile police station forMasi just disappeared!The police ombudsman of the Western

Cape, Vusi Pikoli, visited Masiphumeleleon Wednesday 13 April to assure thecommunity of their support. He askedmembers of the public to report anyproblems with the functioning of thestation, even if it is that one policeofficer is sleeping on duty – and the nextday it was gone.A whole month has gone by and no

information has been given to thecommunity at all.When enquiries were made, Ocean

View Police Station said the vehiclefailed to pass its roadworthy test but thatthe mobile unit would return to Masiafter the process had been completed.

According to deputy police ministerMaggie Sotyu it takes “several years” fora community to get a permanent policestation, but the Masi community is onrecord as asking for one for ten years.One has to conclude that this is just

indefensible neglect.In the absence of the mobile station,

community leaders and taxi ownersthemselves resolved a recent spate ofunrest.However, Masi has a large population

and sooner or later drug-related crimesand unrest will erupt again, with nopolice presence available. The situation isuntenable, and this community shouldurgently be given better support.

who was killed while walking in Tokaiforest, care about her death when theyshoved her face into the dirt whilestrangling her? Did they consider herhuman rights and dignity while theysodomised her? Did they have anyconcern for her agony as she lay dying?Those who refute the return of the

death penalty are in pains to find anexcuse for murderers.But never do they mention the inno-

cent women and children that aremurdered every day in this country.

They never mention the anguish of aparent whose child was murdered whileplaying in a neighbourhood park.When gangsters rob, rape and fire guns

at unarmed people – while high on drugs– why must ordinary people care aboutthe gangsters’ emotional needs?It is this misplaced sympathy that has

resulted in an annual South Africanmurder statistics of 20 000.While we have the most violent society

on earth, those – who live in a well-pro-tected leafy suburb, far removed from theviolence – want to lecture the victims ofviolence.In the words of the wise: We need the

death penalty; it is the only punishmentcriminal’s fear.

cated that they are in the process of put-ting together teams to participate in thewalk. Other schools, corporates, churchgroups, seniors clubs, sporting bodiesand especially walking and runningclubs are encouraged to enter teams in-to this event.The team with the highest number of

Bringing home the Vans titleJordy Maree from Kalk Bay has clinched

the junior titles at theVansSurf ProClas-sic which was completed in epic 1.0 to 1.3

metre waves and ideal conditions at YoYo’sin Lambert’s Bay on Sunday.The first World Surf league (WSL) events

to be run north of Cape Town on the Westcoast of SouthArica, the Vans Surf Pro Clas-sic showcased the country’s best men andjunior surfers as they chased a total prize-purse ofR50 000 and invaluable points on thequalifying series and WSL Africa regionalrankings.The junior final saw a quartet of the coun-

try’s topu.18 rippers tearingup the pumpingA-frame peaks withMaree dominating fromstart to finish to clinch his first JQS eventtitle in style. Accumulating scores of 8.33and 9.33 on his opening rides, Maree had hisopponents in a combination situation fromthe outset. Jake Elkington, also from Kom-metjie, delivered a 7.67 but still needed anear-perfect 9.99 while Adin Masencampfrom Strand and Max Elkington (appearingin a final with his brother for the first time),needed to improve both their counting rideswhen the heat ended.“That’s my first JQS victory and I’m su-

per-stoked. I’ve been training hard and itwas good to get a win under my belt,” saysan elated Maree.“There were so many waves that I just

waited for priority and chose the best ones.

That played in my favour and I got an 8.33and a 9.33 which was enough for the win.”Themen’s semi-finals were nail-biting en-

counters punctuated by incredible manoeu-vreswith both going down to thewire. In thefirst, deVries rackedupanexcellent 8.83 andfollowed thatwith a 7.77 before DaveyBrandgot on the scoreboard. The goofy foot fromKommetjie respondedwith scores of 7.93 and8.33 and, needing 8.28 for a place in the final,he came agonisingly close when he wasawardedan8.10 onhis last ride in the closingseconds.“It went verywell in terms of themy strat-

egy and the riding of the waves, but it’stough to figure out what went wrong there,because I don’t know what really did,” saysa disappointed Brand.“I’ve surfed here at YoYo’s a few times and

I rate it highly. As a contest venue for a QSyou probably couldn’t get anywhere betterand its pretty awesome that Vans broughtthe event up here.”The final of the QS1000 rated men’s event

saw Beyrick De Vries from uMhlanga andMichael February from Kommetjie go headto head in a spectacular high-flying airshow. With a light crosswind blowing per-fectly into the rights, both surfers puntedmanoeuvres above the lip on virtually everyride and each ended up counting a pair ofeight-point scores.It was de Vries’ rides that impressed the

judges more though, and he earned his firstQS event title along with R12 000 in prize-money and 1000 pointswhenhis 8.67 and 8.47left him a slim 0.40 of a point ahead of Febru-ary’s 8.23 and 8.07.

“Thanks to the locals for letting us usetheirwaves and especially to Vans for bring-ing a QS event to a spot where the waves areso good,” said de Vries on the podium beforegoing on to thank his sponsors and familyfor their fantastic support. “Thankyou to ev-eryone who came, you looked left or rightand everybody was smiling. Big ups!”

His points haul moved de Vries into thetop 100 on the QS ranking after just twoevents this year,while February’s 750 pointssaw him jump into the top 30.

“The final was always going to be a toughone, especially against Beyrick and with thewaveswe’ve beenhaving,” said February. “Ihad priority for the last seven minutes andnothing came, but I’m happy anyway. Thiswave is the best, it really brings out the bestin everyone’s surfing and allows you to useyour whole repertoire of manoeuvres.”

The second semi saw February open upwith an 8.67 and an incredible 9.50 beforeMatt McGillivray (Jeffreys Bay) posted hisfirst meaningful score of 7.50. The lankyKommetjie ripper then added an even better9.60 which left McGillivray facing a daunt-ing 19.10 total, the highest of the event.

But SA’s highest raneked QS surfer took

off on a setwave andposted a perfect 10 pointride, his second of the event, to get back intocontention. Still requiring 9.10, McGillivraywaited patiently but did not get the opportu-nity to complete what would have a famouscomeback and had to settle for third placeoverall and a haul of 560 points and R3000.“I knew Mikey (February) was going to

throw down some big scores and he got twonines on the lefts. So I waited a long time fora set andmanaged a 10 to break the combina-tion, but nothing more came in the last cou-ple of minutes, said McGillivray.“I’m still happy withmy performance and

the way I surfed. And I’ve never had two 10sin an event, so I’m stoked.”The Vans Surf Pro Classic has set the bar

for performance surfing in SouthAfrica andYoYo’shas establishedan instant reputationas one of the best contest sites in the country,being likened to the famous Lower Trestlesin California by many of the competitorsVans Surf Pro Classic final results:1. Beyrick de Vries (uMhlanga) 1 000
