She says these volunteers and the Community Policing Forum (CPF) can make it possible for the City to provide training in disaster and risk management. Training will empha- size the importance of keeping ac- cess clear. In addition to the crime problems, Nikelo is worried about pollution and public health in the Wetlands. He says the area is heavily polluted, especially the rivers. Children play in the same rivers where the corpses were found. Nikelo says people dump their waste in the rivers and there is no drainage system in the Wetlands. “The situation is out of control,” he says. However, 60 local women and youths are tackling the problem of pollution. They need basic tools like spades, rakes, plastic bags, gloves and gumboots. They also need a bak- kie to remove the collected litter and take it to the dumping site.

Nikelo says the possi- bility of setting up a patrol system, which would keep police informed of criminal activities in the Wetlands, is also being considered. Mandi Noffke, conservation project manager for WESSA (Wild- life Environmental Society of South Africa), says overpopulation in the Wetlands Informal Settlement has a negative effect on the water quality of the wetlands. She says that every piece of litter eventually ends up in the wetlands after rains.

A DEGREE of “lawlessness”prevails in the Wetlands In-

formal Settlement of Masiphume-lele.

According to PR Councillor Mzu-vukile Nikelo, who has initiated aclean-up project with local residents,crime and murder is rife in the Wet-lands, with almost one murder eachweekend. “Residents have come toaccept it as the norm,” says Nikelo.

He says in the past few monthsthree corpses were discovered in therivers running through the settle-ment. “The bodies all had stabwounds,” he says.

Ocean View police, however, couldnot confirm this and asked for specif-ic details of the murders.

Ocean View station commanderLieutenant Colonel Jacobus Augussays that according to official policestatistics, there had been eight mur-ders in the Ocean View police pre-cinct, which includes Ocean View,Masiphumelele and Kommetjie

since April 2011. Augus stressed thatpeople should report crime or policewould not be aware of it.

Nikelo says that the informal set-tlement, situated in the natural wet-lands bordering Masiphumelele,houses up to 50% of Masiphumelele’spopulation of about 40 000 people.

There is no vehicular access to theWetlands settlement and narrowfootpaths are often blocked.

Nikelo says police have limited ac-cess to the area, which contributes tothe ongoing lawlessness. “It is riskyfor police to enter this area,” he says.

Augus agrees that it is difficult topolice an inaccessible area. He sayspolice officers can only enter theWetlands when guided by a com-plainant. “We can only police wherewe are allowed to police,” he says.

Augus says it is the responsibilityof the City of Cape Town to ensurethat there are services such as roadsto enable law enforcement.

From swept floorsto chalkboardsTAMMY PETERSEN

FOR YEARS, he ensured that theschool was in tip-top shape, pick-ing up papers and sweeping thelong corridors of Kenwyn Prima-ry.

But shortly he will be taking hisplace at the front of a classroomand do what he has alwaysdreamt of doing – teaching.

Peter Hendricks (45) recentlygraduated with a degree in teach-ing from UWC, and is obtaininghis basic training certificate(BTC) so that he can pack up hisdetergents and hit the black-board.

But the long journey towardsrealising his dream was anythingbut easy.

“I previously worked in theclothing industry until I was re-trenched in 2004,” the father oftwo from Hanover Park says.“During the two years that I wasat home, trying to find employ-ment, I went to Mountview Highand asked what I could do to helpout. The principal asked me tohelp out, and that’s what I did.”

That’s when the teaching bugbit, and he enrolled at UWC tomake his dream come true.

“I loved being there. I felt I be-longed at the front of a classroom,enriching young minds andteaching them things that wouldmould them into responsibleadults,” he recalls.

Hendricks stayed for ninemonths until he got a contract po-sition at a primary school inStrandfontein as a cleaner.Thereafter he spent a year and

seven months taking care of thegrounds of a school in Ottery.

“Those were tough years, as Iwas working during the day andattending classes at night. Some-times I would get home as late as21:30 – and still have research andprojects to do. But whenever I feltdespondent, my wife and childrenwould spur me on, always encour-aging me and telling me that Ihave to go for it.”

Money was also tight in theHendricks household, but despitethis, the head of the householdput his mind to completing his de-gree and working towards hisdream.

“The day I graduated was oneof the best days of my life. Nowords would ever be able to de-

scribe how I felt when I heard mydaughter shouting, ‘Go Daddy!’from the crowd. I had achievedmy goal, and that was what mat-tered.”

But the journey was not overfor the man born and raised in anarea synonymous with povertyand unemployment.

“Right now I am still technical-ly a cleaner while I do my BTC.Money is still tight, but I knowthere is something better waitingfor me, and I can’t wait for the daythat I step into the class as MrHendricks, the class teacher.Even then my journey won’t beover – it will be the start of a newchapter in my life story.”

Despite having a hectic sched-ule, he still made time to coachthe school’s under-9 soccer team,who so far hold an unbeatenrecord for the year.

His popularity with the young-sters is evident – this reporterstruggled to get a word in as thechildren chattered at once, eagerto share some news with him.

Hendricks majored in geogra-phy, tourism, English and histo-ry, and already knows where heplans to teach.

“I love the teachers and chil-dren of Kenwyn Primary, butMountview High is where I wantto be. I want to show the peoplehow I grew up, and that you canbe whatever you want to be – evenif it’s a tough road to get there.

“I want to give back to my com-munity, to pay respect to thethings living in Hanover Parktaught me. I’m willing – and final-ly able.”

PSA signs up 20new membersPROUDLY South African re-

cently signed up 20 newmembers, which shows thatSouth African companies aregearing up for the amended gov-ernment procurement regula-tions that come into effect onWednesday 7 December.

Renewed interest in the cam-paign indicates that companieswant to align themselves with otherProudly South African companiesand become part of the Buy Local toCreate Jobs campaign.

Globally and locally companiesare feeling the effects of the recentfinancial meltdown, leading to joblosses.

More and more companies areseeking to align themselves withjob creation initiatives that couldstimulate the economy.

The amended government pro-curement regulations aim to ensurethat government departments pro-cure locally manufactured prod-ucts and services to stimulate jobcreation in South Africa.

Leslie Sedibe, new Proudly SouthAfrican Chief Executive Officer,says “We know that every centspent in South Africa on South Afri-can made products and services im-pacts on jobs locally.

“We cannot avoid the serious im-pact the global recession has had onSouth Africa and we are still not outof the woods. Economists predictthat this recession could continuewell into and beyond 2012.

Usually recessions are a way ofmaking countries and companiesrethink their business strategies,methods and practices. It calls fordeeper introspection and reflectionon how to do things better.

“In our current macro and microeconomic landscape, the greeneconomy seems to present a goodoption. It will allow countries andcompanies to move out of a highlyindustrial, technological era into amore socially conscious and organ-ic one where sustainability andconsistent growth can take place.

“Globally there is competition forjob creation. The focus is on pover-ty alleviation and responsibility forthe environment.

“I take this opportunity to wel-come these new members on boardand call on other companies, bigand small, to become part of theProudly South African movementand commit to Buy Local to CreateJobs.

“Our country and our peopleneed this now more than ever be-fore,” says Sedibe.

Steenberg Hotel now ‘top in Africa’ANDRE BAKKES

CONSTANTIA Valley was put on themapbyaffluentAmericanswhenthey

voted Steenberg Hotel, on the historicSteenberg Wine Estate, the top hotel in Af-rica and the Middle East recently.

The influential and respected Conde NastTraveller Magazine released the list of readers’top hotels on their website on Monday lastweek.

According to the Constantia Property Own-ers’ Association (CPOA), the hotel nearlyclosed down for “financial reasons.”

The owner of the property, the late GrahamBeck, submitted a rezoning application tosubdivide the Estate, but it was turned downby the Built Environment and Cultural Land-scape Permit Committee.

People’s Post reported (“Long wait beforeSteenberg Hotel knows its fate” 19 October)of the owner’s hopes to turn six of the sevenhotel buildings on the property into residen-tial dwellings worth millions.

But a proud general manager, GabyGramm, says it was only ever Beck’s inten-tion to “keep his options open.”

Just a few months later the hotel receivedone of the most coveted forms of recognitionin the hospitality industry. Of greater signifi-cance, however, is what the recognition

would mean for Constantia Valley. “This isthe first time we have featured in the Top 100.We were 42nd on the list,” says Gramm. Shesuspected something was afoot because theyreceived a few phone calls from the magazineto confirm some facts.

“I was very excited when I saw we were thehighest placed hotel in Africa. We have beenaiming for such an international award fora while now.” She also admits that it willstand them in good stead during the on-goingrecession. “This particular award gives youbusiness, because it means the Americanmarket is looking after you. They are not sea-son-bound and travel all year round.” Ac-cording to Gramm, American tourists havebecome more aware of South Africa, and few-er people ask her about “lions in the streets.”

She insists, however, that tourists from theUnited Kingdom are still in the majority.

When asked what makes South Africa, andthe Constantia Valley, so special, she said“Well, Constantia is right in the centre of thePeninsula, which makes it easier to explore.

The winery here is also a drawcard, mainlybecause it hasn’t been commercialised. As forSouth Africa, I’m from Germany and canchoose to live almost anywhere, but I wantto be here. The more you travel, the more youcome to love the variety, uniqueness, and thefriendliness of South Africa.”

Gramm says this is especially important in

the hospitality in-dustry. South Afri-cans are very openand friendly, soapart from the natu-ral beauty, the peo-ple are also fantas-tic.” Jooles Pienaar,General Manager ofthe Constantia Val-ley Association,says that an acco-lade such as this is“without a doubtone of the best mar-keting tools to whicha small region suchas the ConstantiaValley can attach it-self.”

She continues “Al-though we are all go-ing about our business on a daily basis,there is definitely a sense of excitementwhen one of our ‘own’ succeeds in such amanner. The reality, of course, is that whenan establishment wins a number one spot,people sit up, take notice and they maketheir bookings. Those same people will ven-ture out to see what else is on offer. For Con-stantia Valley it means more visitors to theWine Farms, restaurants and shops.” Man-

ager of CPOA, Alan Dolby, says he is delightedthat the hotel received this accolade.

“Steenberg is the oldest wine farm in SouthAfrica, and now the hotel is also renowned.”

Cape Town’s own grand gardenONE HUNDRED years ago,Kirstenbosch was an aban-doned farm, overgrown withweeds and alien vegetation.

Today, it is one of theworld’s top seven botanicalgardens, and one of CapeTown’s Big 6 must-see attrac-tions, sharing space with theTable Mountain Cableway,Robben Island, Cape Point, theConstantia Vineyards and theV&A Waterfront (for more seewww.capetownbig6.co.za).

Set against the easternslopes of Table Mountain,Kirstenbosch was establishedin 1913 to promote, conserveand display the extraordinari-ly rich and diverse flora ofSouthern Africa, and was thefirst botanic garden in theworld to be devoted to a coun-try’s indigenous plants.

The garden boasts a widevariety of the Cape’s uniqueplant life, along with plantsfrom all the diverse regions of Southern Af-rica, both outdoors and in its Botanical Soci-ety Conservatory.

There are over 7 000 species in cultivationat Kirstenbosch, including many rare andthreatened species.

The garden – which takes up 36ha of a528ha estate that encloses protected moun-tainside supporting natural forest and fyn-bos, along with a variety of animals andbirds – lies in the heart of the Cape FloristicRegion, which in 2004 was declared a UnescoWorld Heritage Site, making Kirstenboschthe first botanic garden in the world to beincluded in a natural World Heritage Site.

You can find out more about the garden

and its history by joining a guided tour – freeafter entrance – and relax after your walkin one of Kirstenbosch’s two restaurants.

The artistically inclined can join a six-part course of landscape painting lessonswith Artist Jill Fearon for the duration ofOctober; they happen from 09:30 till 13:00,Mondays to Fridays.

The focus of each lesson will shift fromday to day, but the main theme will alwaysbe the colour, texture and mood in the gar-den at this time of year.

To book a spot, contact Jill on (021) 715-6500 or 073 507 1027.

Play with fire – but do it safelyDURING Diwali, the Hindu “Festival ofLights”, the City of Cape Town appeals toCapetonians to be cautious and sensiblewhen attending organised fireworks dis-plays or letting off shop-bought fireworkson Wednesday 26 October.

The Hindu celebration of Diwali is a sig-nificant event that goesback in time to theancient religion, culture and folklore ofIndia.

The City’s fire safety inspectors and

Law Enforcement officials, together withthe police Explosives Unit, will conductinspections at fireworks display sites toensure that all safety requirements aremet. Members of the public who wish toattend these fireworks displays must fol-low safety instructions given by fire-works operators, event organisers and se-curity personnel, and keep behind safetybarriers.

An eveningof sport andgood taste

THE number of abandoned, strayand surrendered cats and kittensadmitted to the Cape of Good HopeSPCA cattery increased by 70% to228 during September as a directresult of owners not sterilisingtheir cats.

Although cats can breed all yearround, the period September toMarch is generally regarded as the ac-tive breeding season. If left unsteri-lised, a young female cat is fertilefrom as young as six months and willhaveanaverage of two litters peryearwith an average of 2.8 kittens surviv-ing each litter. Should an owner allowtwo cats and their surviving offspringto breed for ten years, they’ll produce80 399 780 cats in that time!

“Owners who fail to spay or neutertheir pets are contributing to the seri-ous pet over-population problem inour city,” says CoGH SPCA AnimalCare Centre Manager, Margie Ains-cow.

Under the City of Cape Town’s newAnimal by-law, owners may be forced

to sterilize their cats if the authorized offi-cial believes it to be “in the interests of thewelfare of the cat; to prevent nuisance;when the cat is stray; and on the requestof the owner, and that the costs thereof maybe recovered from the owner.”

“Unwanted litters are often dumped orleft to roam and allowed to breed uncon-trolled. We urge people to sterilize theircats. If not, many will die young of diseaseor starvation - but not before they have hadmore litters, further adding to the prob-lem”, she says.

“Affordability need not be an excuse.Most animal welfare groups, including theCoGH SPCA, will sterilize cats at a subsi-dised rate for those who genuinely cannotafford private veterinary fees,” she says.“However, if you cannot care for your cat,or any pet, please do not dump it. Rathersurrender it to the SPCA, as we will neverturn any animal away,” says Ainscow.

To spay or neuter your cat, contact yourlocal veterinarian or the CoGH SPCA Ani-mal Hospital on (021) 700 4140/45 or [email protected]. To adopt a cat orkitten from the SPCA visit www.spca-ct.co.za or email [email protected]

Public Transport in a nut shellPUBLIC transport in Cape Town is providedby three equally important groups; bus andrail are subsidised scheduled services whileminibus-taxis provide an “on demand” serv-ice.

Rail is the backbone of public transport inCape Town and is currently operated byMetrorail. It transports more than 700 000people on a working day. The majority of railpassengers are considered a captive audi-ence: theyhavenooptionbut touse the train.However, aging rolling stock and the effectsof vandalism, sabotage and cable theft arehampering Metrorail’s ability to provide aquality service. The biggest demand for theservice is on weekdays during peak hours.From a sustainability point of view, rail hasthe lowest environmental impact per persontransported. However, neither the trains,stations nor access points are currently uni-versally accessible.

Golden Arrow Bus Services (GABS) pro-vides bus-based public transport for com-muters. They operate about 1 000 routes andtransport about 220 000 passengers on a dailybasis.

It is important to remember that all road-based public transport is affected by conges-

tion, road closures and incidents. The MyCi-Ti service in the city bowl and up the WestCoast is the initial phase in the developmentof an integrated rapid transit system for thewhole of Cape Town. The MyCiTi service hasbeen popular because it is safe, reliable, ac-cessible and affordable. As a passenger onehas the right to travel in a well-maintained,smoke-free, fully licenced and roadworthypublic transport vehicle operated by a li-cenced driver.

Drivers may not use their cell phones orany other communication device while driv-ing, unless a hands free set is being used. Thedriver is not permitted to play excessivelyloud or offensive music or fill the vehicle be-yond the registered capacity. The TransportInformation Centre (TIC) is a 24-hour serviceproviding information on bus and rail sched-ules, receiving complaints and feedback onbehalf of Metrorail, GABS, MyCiTi, kerbsideparking and traffic signals. The TIC can becontacted on 0800 65 64 63 or at [email protected] . The TIC provides fulldetails of the transport options, park-and-rides and road closures related to events atCape Town Stadium. Agents are available toassist in English, Afrikaans and Xhosa.

Music pavesthe way to unityDALEEN FOUCHÉ

THE eMzantsi project is in itsseventh carnival year and readyfor 3 December.

This Far South initiative aims tocreate a platform through art, dra-ma, music and carnival where dif-ferent communities and culturescan interact. Although the Carnivalis a one-day event, the eMzantsiprogramme runs throughout theyear and boasts a music project,schools project and costume mak-ing workshops.

What started out as a small one-day event now employs locals on apermanent basis. People’s Post willfeature five of these creative co-or-dinators in the next few weeks.

This week’s featured co-ordina-tor is Luke de Villiers, a 21-year-oldHip Hop artist from Fish Hoek.Luke co-ordinates and facilitatesthe eMzantsi music and high schoolproject. He first got involved withthe project as an artist, but soonstarted taking on responsibilitiesand found he had a passion forworking with people. “I could neverwork a nine to five office job. I loveinteracting with different kinds ofpeople,” he says.He explains thatmusic is the best way for differentcommunities and cultures to con-nect. “You do not need to under-stand the words in order to enjoythe music.”The eMzantsi musicprogramme offers master classesby professional musicians for localartists to improve their skills andto encourage collaboration betweendifferent groups and genres.

Luke says there are many artistswho have talent and passion, butneed “a lot of work” before they canperform on a professional level.“The eMzantsi project helps artiststo become self reliant.” He says art-ists who joined eMzantsi two yearsago are currently getting booked forgigs in town and one group has evenperformed during the Fifa SoccerWorld Cup.

The eMzantsi high school projectbrings pupils from Fish Hoek,Masiphumelele, Ocean View andSimon’s Town together and providethem with music, costume and dra-ma workshops in preparation forthe carnival.Luke says it is interest-ing to watch how the teenagers re-late to one another.

“The Fish Hoek kids stuck totheir own group and the Masi kidsdid the same.” But after some icebreakers and activities, the kidsshook off their inhibitions andstarted feeling comfortable witheach other.He quips that it was per-haps easier in the beginning of theprogramme, because then all thepupils were quiet. “But now theyare laughing and interacting. It isdifficult to keep them quiet.”

He says eMzantsi is helping tounite a divided community, butadds that there is still a long way togo. In his opinion, fear and a lackof understanding are but two of theobstacles.

.To see the high school pupils ofthe eMzantsi project preparing forthe carnival, visit the People’s Postwebsite on www.peoplespost.co.zaand look under multimedia fortheir video.

Go matricsTHOUSANDS of matriculants around thecountry began the most important exam oftheir school career yesterday.

In the Western Cape, more than 40 000 full-time and 9 000 part-time candidates are writ-ing theNational SeniorCertificate exams thisyear.

Education MEC Donald Grant said in anewspaper article he was confident that theclass of 2011 would do well.

The last matric exam paper will be writtenon 1 December and marking in eight provinc-es will start on 2 December.

An anxious, nailbiting period lies ahead formore than 620 000 South African matricu-lants.

While goodwill messages of “relax: and“stay calm” are well-meant, the most impor-tant ingredients for success in these exams –or any other, for that matter – are preparationand sheer hard work.

Most matrics can identify with this as theyhave taken extra classes, formed studygroups and spent months preparing.

Those who have invested the time will reapthe rewards of a guaranteed entry to tertiaryeducation, or a headstart in the job market.

There is no greater feeling of accomplish-ment in one’s young life than that of passingyour matric exams.

Our message to matric candidates is: Evenif you’ve done minimal to no preparation, itis not too late.

Start swotting today and every day for thenext five weeks, dedicating every availablehour you can. Secure your place in the cele-bratory fever that will sweep Cape Town andthe rest of the country once the results areout. Every sacrifice you make today is an in-vestment in your future. You have the powerto see a successful culmination of more thanadecadeat school. It iswithinyour reach, andyou have the support of your peers, parents,educators and all of us at People’s Post as wewish you every success during your exams.

George will be rememberedIT was with great sadness to hear thatGeorge, the former alpha male of the DaGama Troop, was attacked and killed by twoalsatians in Da Gama Park on Monday morn-ing, 17 October.

He was old boy Eric’s oldest son and inher-ited his father’s great stature and bearing,along with a keen intelligence. He was a gen-tle giant, who led his troop well, but the yearshad taken their tol. He was looking decidedlylike an old man recently and had lost mostof his teeth, so he couldn’t defend himselfwhen he was attacked by the dogs.

It was a privilege to have known this won-derful baboon for many years and I thankhim for enriching my life immeasurably, butmost of all, for teaching me about the magicthat is baboons. RIP my big boy, you will al-ways have a special place in my heart.LYNETTE JOHNSONNoordhoek

The Muizenberg tenants pleaTHE Muizenberg council building (“Trafficcentre tizz”, People’s Post, 27 September 2011)has not been leased to any business, but to acommittee that governs the use of the build-ing.

The Panelbeater uses only a small sectionof the building.

The building also consists of a steelworksshop, a woodworking shop, a stained glassshop as well as the scout hall.

These are not full-blown businesses and wedo train locals about capacity. We also try tofind themwork,however someof themarenotemployable.

We, the panelbeaters, have been operatingat the centre for about five years now, and ourplight is to take on the less fortunate and givethem opportunities to learn some skill.

Even if it is just about experiencing a work-shop environment, or adjusting to workinghours, these guys will never get this opportu-nity unless someone gives them a chance.

We also work at a reduced rate dependingon the financial circumstances of the individ-ual.

This is a community service for locals inthe community and surrounding areas.

The committee has put in a letter of objec-tion to the cancellation of our lease and weare still waiting for a response.

The truth behind the Traffic Departmentsin the Far South is that there is a new Depart-ment in Fish Hoek Central Circle.WILLIAM VAN VUURENFix-A-Ding PanelbeatersWARD COUNCILLOR DAVID D’ALTONRESPONDSWHILST I understand the plight of the writerand his staff, the decision to develop this cen-tre was taken by the City last year, before Ibecame the ward councillor for this area, inMay 2011.

This development has nothing to do withthe Traffic Testing Centre in Fish Hoek,which only handles licences and driver test-ing, but will serve as a base for traffic officersand operations for the far South Peninsula.

At present Traffic Officers are based at Hill-star in Ottery and it takes a long time and alot of travel to get officials to accidents or anyother traffic problem in the area of Muizen-berg to Simon’s Town.

This will improve things from a traffic per-spective and provide a far speedier response.

Help build a future we wantATEkasiTownship, like anywhere else,whenwe talk poverty, this is not poverty the wayit is understood, but of our imagination in un-derstanding our surroundings beyond thebare minimum they offer.

The youth is invited to carefully navigatetowards levels of happiness and fulfilment.

I am calling for an “understanding” ofwhere acts of inflicting pain on women comefrom.

The same township offers me hope in my ob-servation of some young ladies’ successes – itis not impossible after all, they are role mod-els.

Those men who hurt women need to go back

to school and redo the lessons on the unwrit-ten rules of respect, forms of showing love andbasic etiquette.

To all girls of Ekasi township, stay on thesafe side – cruel men still exist and hopefullywe are raising a new generation that will re-spect you more.

Young people of Mzansi, we certainly caninfluence our future, yes we can!

I am a young African man who strongly re-sists any violence towards women, but alsostrongly encourage teenage girls and youngwomen to have more self respect.SONWABISO NGCOWAMasiphumelele

NOT AN INVASIONOF YOUR PRIVACY

2011 ISCENSUS

There is a general fear of Census 2011 in South Africa, many people see it as letting a stranger into your

housing and transport. Call our Call Center on 0800 110 248 should you not get enumerated or to

Your SMSesLocal thoughts

. A message to all those mean spiritedwhingers: Leave the Sunrise market tradersalone! They have a right to earn a living andit is only one day a week. Muizenberg beachis huge with plenty of room for all and themarket attracts tourists. Viva market! Mayit grow, thrive and prosper! Seaward

. Thank you to Monwabisi Sikweylya forwhat you do on the beach. From a non-swim-mer

. Why not make the road from Boyes Drivethrough to Clovelly, as previously planned,and through the golf course connecting theM3? Our councillors must

look ahead!. I thought I’d heard it all, but there you

go. How creatures calling themselves humancan do something so vile is beyond me. Theseforeigners have fled their

homes with nothing, leaving loved ones be-hind. They came here to make a better andsafer home for themselves and their families.What do they get? More cruelty than fromwhere they come. Tell me, how do u sleep atnight? J Curtis, Faerie Knowe

. To the rudegentlemanwhoshoutedat thelady at the Kommetjie garage in connectionwith the wrong container for fuel: shame onyou for reflecting your poor upbringing inpublic! You obviously do not know the dan-gers of fuel in unsuitable containers?

. To the lady with the five dogs who drivesa white Golf: It is people like you who walktheir dogs without leashes in the parks thatmake it unpleasant for dog lovers who walktheir dogs with leashes. Your dogs attackedan elderly lady, who was just walking homethrough the Milkwood Park. Your dogs, thatwere left to run freely in the park, kept nip-ping her and you took your time to get to her.Although you hugged her, your dogs kept go-ing for her. Please be a law abiding citizenand walk your dogs on leashes to avoid inci-dents like this in the park.

. Was it real beer the those kids were con-suming? If not, tell the concerned readers

about it. Otherwise, an enjoyable read. PeterMay, Ocean View

Shark tales. Tony Robinson, you truly personify the

battery chicken mentality. I suggest youchange the name of your column or spare usall and stop writing drivel. Go swimming tofill your time. Bo de Kock, Sunnydale

. Did anyone put a gun to Cohen’s head togo into the water? No! He was warned and,though his negligence, and thinking he knewbetter, the sharkhasnowbecome thebadguy.Lyndsay Wallace, Marina da Gama

. Anonymous, get off your soap box. Here’sa news flash: There are sharks in the sea andthey bite. I don’t give a darn if you’ve livedin Fish Hoek for 50 years. Who are you to talkdown to a person who dares to have an opin-ion? Maureen, Fish Hoek

Just a thought. To the person who thinks that small dogs

carried in arms is unhealthy: these are ourbabies. They are cared for, inoculated andbathed just as we do our children!

. Dear People’s Post, could you please pub-lish a column on The Consumer ProtectionAct, explaining in detail the rights of consum-ers. We need to know more

as there are businesses that are continuingwith bad practices. Especially the car dealersin Parow.

. I am as disabled as can be, yet I havechanged my condition into one of mystrengths for my own wellbeing. You put asmile on my face to publish such greatnessin concern for any disabled person. Abdurag-man Ismail

Driven off the rails. To Anon, I agree completely. It’s a rip-off

and one can’t afford to pay all that money foran appointment, lessons, photos and a driv-ing school car. You’re lucky if you pass!Where must we get all that money? Some ofus want to achieve that goal and we reallydon’t need to be robbed like that. If they sayit’s for insurance, wear-and-tear and petrol,then they are covered by using their cars fortwo driving tests. How many appointments

do they do in a day, week or month?It’s a rip-of! That goes for the trafficdepartment too. They fail you forsmall, silly things. They’re a money-making business. It’s not what youknow, but who you know! FromHeartbroken

. I agree with you 100%. I pay for one anda half hours but then the driver is always halfan hour late! I’m so angry already!

A question of donations. In response to Jo Maxwell’s comment on

private welfare donations, it would be inter-esting to try and calculate the total value ofthese donations countrywide. Linda

. I commend Jo Maxwell for selflessly help-ing the community. I take exception, though,to the mention of the “waste of money” with“20 organisations running trauma units.” I’ma volunteer at one of these units and her opin-ion saddens me. People give to a cause closeto their hearts (as opposed to one genericcause) and this would be to an organisationin which they have faith. If we do what wecan, with what we’ve got, we’ll make a differ-ence. Natasha

. One neighbour, who is horrible towardsmy family, was alerted by my barking dogswhen his car got broken into last Mondaynight.

Blowing a fuse. To the lady who bought electricity: you

normally get two lots of numbers: one for 50free units and one for the rest. When you addboth you get 235,4 units. Please

make sure.. To the person moaning about only getting

186.3 units for her R150, we at Musgrave Parkin Diep River only get 81.4 units for our R100,and this is a retirement village.

. To the reader with the missing units, goback to the store where you bought it withyour receipt and tell themyour situation.Youare supposed to get two numbers – the secondnumber is for 50 free units! This happened tome before.

Dear Lynn. Lynn Prins makes a big mistake when

she describes kick-off punts as a punt which,as all rugby fans know, is a kick whereby theball is dropped from the hand to the boot likein a touch kick or an up-and-under. A kick-offis always a drop kick! MB

. Has Lynn Prins ever been to a rugbymatch? Does she take readers for morons?Rugby guru she is not. Neil, Sea Point

. Aren’t South Africans just amazing? Ifthe Springboks had made it to the final andwon, our coach would have been a hero butnow we treat him as a zero. Manchester

United was destroyed by Barcelona, yetFergie is still the coach. Arsenal is not doingwell, yet Wenger is still the coach. TheSpringboks have played the best running rug-by ever, so please don’t change the coach. DGThompson

. Lynn Prins, I love your column! Thankyou for teaching me so much about rugby!

. Dear Lynn Prins, the Boks deserved towin. They were robbed. Well done, Boks. ToSouth Africans: you are true champs. Tony,Lavender Hill

. Why do people always blame the ref orthe coach if the team loses?

By the way. We hear about all kinds of accidents in-

volving kids. On 18 October a lady driving awhite Kombi with a blue sliding door (trans-porting kids from a local school) let the chil-dren jump out of the vehicle every time togive it a push start.

. Can anyone explain why there is no trainrunning from Cape Town to Durban andback?

. I witnessed in four areas the most aggres-sive and extremely ugly harassment of citi-zenry by census workers. Elder citizens notexcluded! People were even frightened tocomplain. Lisa, Lakeside

. Wake up! There’s no law and order in SA.Criminals know it.

Before certain groups of activists get hyster-ical about my question – whether it is a possi-ble solution to cull great whites in False Bay– we need to look at their assumed growth inpopulation in the Bay.

• It is stated that a male great white reachesmaturity at the age of 9 to 10 years, while fe-males do at 14 to 16 years.

• They normally reach an age of 30 or moreyears.

• Their gestation period is 11 months.• They have 2 to 10 pups every two to three

years.If we therefore assume a conservative aver-

age growth rate of 30% per year, then we nowhave 190 more great whites in the False Bayregion than in 1991, when the great white be-came a protected species around the SA coast-line.

My second question was about the taggingof sharks with SATNAV type electronic tags.I realise that it is impossible to tag every sin-gle great white in False Bay, however I referhere more to the great whites that frequentour popular holidaymaker destinations alongthe False Bay coastline.

With regards to netting, I refer here moreto the successful net enclosures used at theHong Kong beaches.

These nets keep out all forms of sharks.They are normally 500m in length and de-ployed as semi-circles or rectangular shapedenclosures around the popular bathing areas.The net has a mesh of 35mm for the first two-metre depth, and the deeper section has amesh of 100mm.

This is completely different to the gill typenets used along the KZN coastline and in Aus-tralia, which has a mesh of 300mm to 500mm,and therefore no shark, dolphin or porpoiseever gets entangled in them.

They have been designed and properly an-

chored to withstand 10m typhoon waves. Doyourself the favourandcheck it out onvariouswebsites.

The enclosures are serviced by divers twicea week and in place for nine months of everyyear, when the sharks frequent the beach are-as.

Another possible solution would be a largetidal pool, like the Monwabisi Beach Resortnear Khayelitsha, constructed at popularbeaches such as Muizenberg and Fish Hoek,complemented by two breakwater rock barri-ers leading into the sea, about 300m apart,with the Hong Kong type netting between thepoints of the breakwaters leading into the sea(maybe a little farfetched, but still a possiblesolution). Both the mentioned beaches areconsidered shallow and therefore quite suita-ble.

Lastly, we should talk about “non-contactbarriers” such as the POD, originally fordivers, developed and patented by the KZNSharks Board.

These units are now manufactured and soldby an Australian company with the productbranded as the FREEDOM7.

The unit is as big as a cellphone, strappedto your leg, and has an antenna of approxi-mately two metres trailing behind you. Theelectrical impulses transmitted via the anten-na act as a shark repellent. Unfortunately theproduct is too expensive for general holiday-makers. However, I suggest that further re-search is funded where these transmitterswith a single common power supply arestrung along a wire about two metres belowthe surface, just on the edge of the swimmingarea. The concept has been well tested for fiveyears, and has been available for the past 10to 15 years.

I am trying to point out that possible solu-tions do exist. But for us just to sit back andaccept our possible fate is not a solution.RUDI COETZEEFish Hoek

INTERNATIONAL SOFTBALL

Brothers race it outFISH HOEK Surf Lifesaving club’s

Mockè brothers fought out a thrillingencounter in the first race of the summerDiscovery Sunglass Hut Surfski Series offSimonstown’s Long Beach on Sundaymorning 16 October. Younger brotherJasper (26) won narrowly by dragging hiscraft along the beach over the final 60mto pip his brother Dawid (34) on the finishline.

About 120 paddlers entered the first of aneight-race summer surfski series hosted byThe Paddling Centre, Fish Hoek. For safetyreasons series boss and race-organiser BillyHarker was obliged to set a 4-lap x 2.7kmquadrangular course.

Despite a 25-30 knot off-shore southeasterlygale, the fleet navigated the short-course(±4kms) and long-course (10.8kms) eventswithout any mishap or drama. A victoriousJasper Mockè said afterwards that he hadchecked with Harker before the race as towhere the finish-line would be and whetheror not paddlers were required to round themarker-buoy anchored 20m in the surf di-rectly in line with the finish on the final lapof the 4-lap race.

“Billy said we didn’t have to go around thebuoy on the final lap (as is usually the case!)and I knew that if push came to shove I couldout-sprint most top-order guys along thebeach, which fortunately proved to be thecase, evenagainstmybigbrother in the end.”Vanquished big brother Dawid, the reigningworld-series champion, was full of praise forhis younger sibling’s fortitude and tacticalacumen on the day.

“I knew that arriving first at the turning-can off the Simon’s Town harbour bullnose-wall was vital. Whoever got there first on the

first lap, would have first pick at the down-wind leg to the battery beach run-out spot.Jasper and I sprinted that first 800m stretchat the start and managed to get there beforeTom (Schilperoort) and Sean (Rice) andworked together to get away from them andthe rest of the pack.

“I had the edge on my little boet paddlinginto the gale and thought I could out-sprinthim the finish, but the little blighter out-smarted me, so well done to him.”

The prizegiving ceremony was held at TheGlen Hotel in Glencairn.

Jasper’s K2 silver-medal partner in the30th Fish River SA Championships CanoeMarathon, Tom Schilperoort, finished inthird, some 90 seconds behind the Mockèbrothers. Simon van Gyssen powered hisway into fourth, barely 50 seconds behind,but ahead of international rising star SeanRice, who was 40 seconds further adrift in-fifth.

The ladies’ race saw a welcome return tosurfski paddling by Strand’s former worldmarathon K2 silver medallist, Donia Kam-stra, who won comfortably in 65:14 from FishHoek’s Springbok former lifesaving captainKimmy Bruggman (68:00) and Lakeside’sfast-improving Angie Gaffney. Fish HoekSurf’s up-and-coming Robyn Smith (73:34)was fourth.

The men’s junior title went to BergvlietHigh School’s Kenny Rice (56:37), with Wyn-berg Boys High’s Nicky Notten (61:32) in sec-ondplace andSACS’sAlexTopliss (63:20) tak-ing the bronze. Fish Hoek’s Candice Murray(78:09) and Amy Hare (80:20) were frist andsecond in the Junior Women’s category,whilst Ant Pearce and Gillian Anderson(62:51) were first overall in the double surfskicategory.

Congrats, and a wrap upLYNN PRINS

IT has been a phenomenal seven weekswith historic moments, emotional mo-ments, and joyous moments. A huge con-gratulations is in order for the team of themoment currently crowned the WorldChampions.

Way overdue if you ask me, and well de-served. Those of you who don’t know, it’sonly the second time that New Zealand haslifted the cup since 1987. Obviously thehype must have been all over Auckland,not forgetting our fel-low countrymen whosupport the Kiwis.Auckland must havebeen buzzing, every-one wanting to greettheir heroes and get aglimpse of the Web El-lis Cup.

I must add, though,New Zealand couldnot have won the cupat a better time, sincethey have been goingthrough a roughpatch this past yearwith earthquakes andthe Pike River minedisaster. A salute tothe French also, forwhom it was an out-standing and unpre-dictable tournament, giving an astoundingperformance in the final. Playing withheart and showing character is true sports-manship, and both teams delivered that.Last week People’s Post explained kick-offsand restart kicks, and promised to sum upthe rules. Thesewill be kept to a mini-mum,but readers who would like more canemail me at [email protected].

Rucks and maulsA ruck and a maul is similar and can be

quite confusing. A ruck is normally formedwhen the ball is on the ground.

A maul is formed when more than twoplayers have joined together around theball carrier, and the ball is held off the

ground. If the ball has gone to ground, thenthe group of joined players is called a ruck.The important principle of rucks andmauls is that once they are set, two imagi-nary offsides lines appear behind eachteam’s rucking/mauling players, extend-ing from touchline to touchline.

Any player running into the zone, frombehind this line before the ball leaves, but-who is not joining the ruck or maul, is con-sidered offside and a penalty can be award-ed to the other team.

Knock-onsThese occur when a

player fumbles theball and knocks it for-ward with his handsor arms. The player isallowed to try and re-gain control.

If he can catch it be-fore it touches anoth-er player or theground, he can playon. Otherwise it is a“knock-on” and playmay be stopped. Whenpossession of the ballis lost, a scrum is set,with the non-offend-ing team getting thescrum feed.

If you intentionallyknock on, you may bepenalised. If what you

did prevented a probable try, a penalty trymay be awarded.

OffsideA player is offside in general play if he

is in front of a teammate who is carryingthe ball, or in front of a teammate who lastplayed the ball. The aim is to stay behindthe ball.

Forward passA player is not allowed to pass the ball

forward to a teammate.Abig thankyou to thosewho followedmy

column and a thank you to those who con-gratulated me and even to those who disa-greed.

Signing off until the next World Cup.

Early league upsetsLYNN PRINS

THREE weeks into the softball seasonand already there have been upsets in

the Super League division. Falcons-Nor-mies fell short of an undefeated streak, asdid Old Mutual.

Falcons-Normies had an upsetting week-end two weeks ago during double-headerwhen they lost to Old Mutual Cubs the Satur-day in a tightly contested match, and on Sun-day they lost again, this time to Glenthorn As.

Albertons beat Cubs on Saturday 6-3, leav-

ing Glenthorn As and Westridge Yankees theonly undefeated team. Meanwhile, Gl-enthorn’s pitcherLaurenMulder,whowill beplaying in the Junior Women’s World Cham-pionship in December, looks in top formalong with team mates Alex Fortune (shortstop) and Carly Mulder (left outfielder).

According to Steven Rodkin, Glenthorncoach, he said: “Alex is putting balls in playwith her left slap hitting and she has a highon base percentage because of speed. She maynot always come off well with batting but herspeed helps her to reach the base safely.

As for Carly she’s definitely performingand even scored the winningrun against Falcons-Normies.”After Falcons-Normies’ doubleloss, they managed to redeemthemselves on Saturday 23 Octo-ber by beating Tanta Sport 18-2in three frames.

Falcons-Normies’ Nicole Al-exander, who will also partici-pate in the JWWC, batted twoout of four with one homerunand four RBI’s (runs broughtin). Justine Steward, who is onthe shortlist for the JWWC, is al-so showing improvement in herbatting.

Old Mutual Cubs is anotherteam that has shown some posi-tivity this season, beating one ofthe strongest teams in an early

run to the season. Their winning streak con-tinued this weekend.

At the Mitchell’s Plain fields on Saturday,undefeated champs Westridge Yankeessealed another win when they faced St Mar-tins, beating them 11-3. Yankees started offwith Juliana Becerra pitching. She faced 15batters, striking out one, and three hits cameoff her. She was relieved by Megan Cable intop of the fourth frame, where she faced sevenbatters, striking out one and conceding onehit. The top batters in that match were LaraErasmus of Yankees, batting three for four,

with one homerun, one three-bagger, andthree RBIs. Teammate Candice Bull battedtwo for three with one three-bagger and oneRBI. Candice Stephens batted one for twowith one homerun and two RBIs. Carla Wich-man batted two for two with one three-baggerand one RBI. St Martins’ top batters wereJadePetersenandRobynPackery. StMartinsstarted the season off with a blow to theirteam, when they lost their pitcher, a key play-er, to a shoulder injury. Natalie Abrahams,who is also part of the JWWC team, will onlymake her return in two weeks.
