PARKWOOD ESTATE

Tempers, tear gas flareCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Chaos erupted in Parkwood on Tuesdayafternoon last week.

Tear gas, stun grenades and rubberbulletswere firedwhen residents of the new-ly-erected and already demolished informalsettlement Skiemsaam protested on AcaciaRoad.Right after the demolition of the 50 illegal

structures on the corner of Acacia Road andFalconWay, the squatters set tyres alight inthe road and pelted rocks and stones at offi-cers of the City of Cape Town’s LawEnforce-ment and the anti-land invasion unit.The agencies were first sent to the area on

Monday to remove the structures (“New set-tlement sprouts”, People’s Post, 23 Februa-

ry), but it was only done on Tuesday.One of the squatters, who did not want to

be named, says they were “peaceful all thetime” before the demolition.

“Just after noon [Law Enforcement] firedtwo warning shots into the air without vio-lence from our side. This community thenretaliated because they had no right to shootat us after we cooperated with them the en-tire time,” she says.

Benjamin Adams, who is part of the Park-wood Forum, says people are frustrated be-cause their concerns were not addressed.

“People are angry because they have beenput off the land without a court order. Liai-sing only took place with a small delegationand even this was unfruitful,” Adams says.

The squatters and other residents fromthe area became locked in a stand-off with

authorities on Acacia Road, pelting rocksand shouting profanities at Law Enforce-ment officers, who reacted by firing rubberbullets, stun grenades and tear gas.

Benedicta van Minnen, Mayco memberfor human settlements, says: “The City andpolice removed 63 unoccupied illegallyerected structures. Unfortunately, the com-munity reacted with violence and aggres-sion, despite all of the attempts at engage-ment and prior warning.

“A group of about 200 residents threwstones at City and police officers and burnttyres.”

Hit in yardJeanette Josephs (70)was one of the people

who was hit by rubber bullets.“I just returnedhomeand Iwas inmyyard

already when I was hit by a rubber bullet.This is not right; innocent people are nowgetting hurt,” Josephs says.The areawas cordoned off and traffic from

Klip Road was redirected.Seven men, aged between 18 and 40 years,

were arrested for public violence.Van Minnen says: “The invasion started

on Sunday evening when a group of back-yard dwellers erected illegal structures inAcacia Road. When anti-land invasion unitstaff arrived at the scene at about 22:30, theyfound 50 residents in the process of erectingsmall structures.“In accordance with City process, they

warned the group that they were acting un-lawfully and that they should take down thestructures,” she says.V Continued on page 2.

A City facilitator met with allrole players on Monday morn-ing, including the local wardcouncillor and representativesof thebackyarders, to try and re-solve the situation.“At thismeeting itwas agreed

that the backyarder representa-tives would return to the groupand explain to them that theyhad to take down their illegalstructures,” Van Minnen says.However, the group refused

and the illegal structures werestill in place on Tuesday morn-ing, despite the City’s multiplewarnings and engagement, VanMinnen says.The City and police then re-

moved 63 structures.“Unfortunately, the commu-

nity reacted with violence andaggression despite all attemptsat engagement and prior warn-ing,” Van Minnen says.She says anothermeetingwas

then held with the communityon Thursday.“The City has made it clear

that no plans for housing cur-rently exists for the land inquestion.“The land belongs to the City

and to invade this piece of landis unlawful,” Van Minnen ex-plains.She confirms there were

meetings with residents in 2005and 2006 to discuss uses for thepiece of land.“We can confirm that a dis-

cussion was had around poten-tial uses for this piece of land.But no decisions were taken inthis regard.“At this stage there are no

plans for housing in this area.This has been communicated tothe Parkwood community,” shesays.It has been suggested that an

active committee be establishedfor community engagements todiscuss the way forward.

“This will ensure a transpar-ent communication process be-tween the City and the Park-wood community in future,”she says.Opportunistic individuals

looted a shop in Blackbird Ave-nue. Various other tuck-shopowners were forced to close upshop after theywere also threat-ened.In response to a looting inci-

dent that was reported online,Van Minnen says: “The City ad-dressed the incident of lootingthat tookplace inParkwood ear-lier this week and how disap-pointing it was that the commu-nity took advantage of such anunfortunate situation.”

Short-livedWarrant Officer Wynita

Kleinsmith, Grassy Park policespokesperson, says the areawasquiet by Wednesday.“Last night therewas burning

of tyres again, but eventuallythey stopped,” she said onWednesday.She adds that a fewpeople had

started building shacks on theopen land again, but residentsin the area broke them down.VanMinnen says the Citywill

continue to monitor the areaand “take all necessary precau-tions to prevent further illegalland invasions”.“The housing need in the city

is acute and theCitymust there-fore ensure a fair and systemat-ic housing delivery process, tothe benefit of all residents.“This includes preventing il-

legal land invasions which re-sult in poor access to City servi-ces, continual flooding, highcrime rates and poor connec-tions with economic opportuni-ties.”The City will continue to en-

gage with residents in the area,she also says.

PHILIPPI

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

After spending 36 years in the police, Brig-adier Riaan Booysen says it’s time to

make way.Booysen has been the commander ofWyn-

berg police station for the past four years.He is taking early retirement, as he believesit’s time to give new blood the opportunityto lead.He says it’s time to concentrate on other

things, as he has done his work over theyears.Born in Philippi, he matriculated from

Zwaanswyk High School in Retreat in 1978.He becamea soldier andunderwentmilitarytraining at Kimberly Infantry School in Pre-toria. Thereafter he worked in several de-partments, including the department oftransport. That’s where he got a transfer tothe police in 1983. He started his police ca-reer at Wynberg police station.He was later transferred to Claremont

where he became a detective in 1985.Booysen says Wynberg holds a special

place in his heart, because it’s where his ca-reer as a police officer took off and where itended. He was also baptised at the Dutch Re-formed Church which is a few metres awayfrom the police station. He also met his wifeof 33 years, Judith, at the church.Starting out as a young detective he was

worried whether he would know the differ-ence betweenmurder and death due to a nat-ural cause.“I was wondering if I would be able to dis-

tinguish the two. Fortunately, I had the besttrainers, very experienced people, and theymade everything very easy. This was mydream. Iwasvery excited, but themost excit-

ing part of the job was walking out of thecourtroomknowing you have secured a con-viction. It gives a sense of fulfilment and be-ing able to go back to the community and saythis is what you can do,” he says.As a detective Booysen has had an excit-

ing career. He has worked on high-profilecases, like police killings, several Pagadmurder cases and explosives cases, theGold-en Arrow bus killings and the murder ofMarike deKlerk, ex-wife of former presidentFW de Klerk. He also helped in the Sizzlermurders case in Sea Point and worked onseveral armed robberies and rape cases inwhich international tourists were the vic-tims.He was the detective commander at police

stations in Manenberg, Nyanga, GrassyPark, Gugulethu, Diep River and Athlone,where he had to deal with inquest and mur-der cases. He and his team dealt with 1600murder and inquest cases fromKhayelitsha,Gugulethu, Nyanga and Langa in a year.He was also appointed as a police diver

and had to recover several corpses and pie-ces of evidence.In 2000 he became the provincial com-

mander of serious andviolent crimes,wherehe led units like urban terror, murder, rob-bery, gangs, taxi violence, firearms and thechild protection unit.In 2006 he was appointed the Woodstock

cluster commander and later that year hetook responsibility for the Cape Town clus-ter. He was also the station commander atStrand police station before heading back toWynberg police station as its commander in2012.“There comes a point in your life where

you feel you have done it all and there isnothing more to achieve. It’s now time to

give the new generation an opportunity totake over. I leave the station happy becauseI know they are a good teamwho are alwayswilling to help and serve the community,”he says.Though he is a man of vast experience, he

attributes all his success to teamwork.“There are peoplewhowork tirelessly

behind the scenes and they makework easy for you. Withoutthem I wouldn’t haveachieved the things Iachieved. What is reallyimportant is to work as ateam and a team is as strongas its weakest link. Whensomeone is lagging behindthings won’t work. With thecases that I workedwith, chain evidencewas vital, althoughone investigatorwould have to see ahigh-profile casethrough court. Hav-ing everyone on thesame level was of ut-most importance asyou can’t do every-thing alone.”Angie Latchman, Wynberg policing clus-

ter spokesperson, says Booysen is known asa hands-on commanding officer who led byexample.“He has been a good mentor to all of us.

Many look up to him for knowledge. He hasgreat insight and he does things by the book;he is a disciplinarian. It’s sad that he is leav-ing us butwith the same breathwewish himwell. He has been with his family in blue forover three decades; nowhehas to spend time

with his immediate family. Like they say,once a policeman always a policeman; hewill be looking over us. We salute him forwhat he has done,” she says.Riaan and Judith Booysen have two sons

and two grandchildren.Yesterdaywas his last day in the office. He

says it’s time to focus on his business. FromJuly he will practise in his own company,Riaan Booysen Polygraph and Private In-vestigation, where readers can contact himon 074 203 6658.

Brigadier Riaan Booys­en, who was born inPhilippi, has worked inthe police around CapeTown for 36 years.

GRASSY PARK

New garden to bloom for playCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A newly created recreationalspace in 1st Avenue, Grassy

Park started budding in Novemberlast year.

What used to be a space thatserved as the scene for criminal ac-tivity now has the opportunity tobecome a greener space for recrea-tional purposes.

Taking the initiative to kickstartthe garden, resident Keeyan Hoop-er says he and another resident,Norman Geland, started the gar-den to eliminate criminal activi-ties and to keep unsavoury charac-ters off the 2600m2 property.

“We contacted the City of CapeTown to have the entrances to thisproperty closed off. There used tobe people hanging around on thisproperty, using it to smoke andothers used it for dumping,” hesays.

Hooper says after the gates wereput up at four entrances to theproperty which belongs to the City,they started beautifying the space.

“The garden was started fromplants found in my own garden.Since then I have been goingaround to people in the area tellingthem about the garden, and thenthey donate to it as well. That is

pretty much how we have been get-ting plants so far,” Hooper says.

He adds the biggest problem atfirst was getting resources to helpin the garden.

“I used to run up and down withbuckets of water from a neighbourliving opposite the property.

“One day another neighbour sawme running over with the bucketsof water and he told me that I couldthen use his hose pipe as it waslong enough and he has a waterpump as well. This has helped agreat deal and we also received do-nations of compost,” he says.

Extra hands“But now we need extra hands to

help in the garden as well. So far,I have involved my youth group,Future Youth, and Geland to helpout with weeding and the generalupkeep and maintenance on theproperty, but we need more handsbecause the property is big,” Hoop-er says.

A call for donations for the gar-den was made and Hooper hasasked for anybody who is able tohelp to contact him.

Donations of water, plants, trees,seeds, labour and compost wouldbe appreciated, Hooper says.V If you would like to help with the garden,contact Hooper on 074 036 0547. Keeyan Hooper shows the field he hopes to turn into a recreational garden. PHOTO: CHEVON BOOYSEN

CHEVON BOOYSEN@ChevonBooysen

A concerted effort to involve the GrassyPark community to help in curbing crimekicked off last Tuesday.

Together with the Grassy Park communi-ty police forum (CPF), a group of residentsmet last week to discuss how to preventcrime and, most importantly, tackle gang-sterism in the area.

The meeting was held as an introductionto the plans and objectives of the #Gangster-ismShallFall campaign – a campaign adopt-ed by the CPF.

CPF chairperson Fuad Titus said: “Gang-sterism plays a huge role in destabilisingour communities. This needs to be ad-dressed and this is what the planning meet-ing is about. We want to introduce the ideato our community so that they can come onboard.”

He added that “gangsterism was just onefacet of the problem” and the plan neededto be looked at holistically.

“We need a comprehensive plan where wecan work with various agencies to ensureour community is safe again. The projecthas been accepted in conjunction with our

local police station and they will be on boardwith the project,” Titus added.

CPF spokesperson Philip Bam presentedan outline of the project, which would in-clude issues such as creating awareness, en-hancing enforcement against drugs andgangsterism and building cooperation andnetworks with others who have the samepurpose.

“The police precinct of Grassy Park isreeling under the onslaught of gangsterismwhich seems to have taken centre stage inthe lives of many young people and childrenof schoolgoing age. The challenge of drugabuse, supported by gangsterism, is causefor great concern,” Bam said.

Bam added another cause for concern wasthat 13 people had died in one month in thearea due to gang rivalry, saying this was “areal problem to be addressed”.

The CPF and police said part of the planwas to first visit schools, handing out pam-phlets about the dangers of gangsters.

Another meeting will be held on Wednes-day evening where more residents are setto join the planning process.

“We wanted our community to be in-volved. We did not want to overlook them,”Bam said.

Plan for gangsters’ endLook afteryour eyesHealth officials are reminding residents tolook after their eyes ahead of World Glauco-ma Week, observed worldwide from 8 to 14March.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases thatcause progressive damage of the opticnerve. If left untreated, most types of glauco-ma get worse – without warning or obvioussymptoms – gradually doing damage to eye-sight, which may lead to blindness.

It was once believed that the cause of mostor all glaucomas was high pressure withinthe eye. These days such pressure is consid-ered a “risk factor” for glaucoma, togetherwith other factors such as racial ancestry,family history, high myopia and age.

There is no cure for glaucoma as yet, andvision loss is irreversible.

However, medication or surgery (tradi-tional or laser) can halt or slow down anyfurther vision loss. Therefore, early detec-tion is essential.V For more information visit www.sags.com or theWorld Health Organisation on www.who.int/blind-ness/causes/priority/en.

Workshop to begin

Postman keeps on walkingGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Yesterday marked a special day for post-man Mogamat Jassiem – after 42 years

facing the steep streets of Vredehoek hewasfinished with his post run.

While the post office acknowledged 40years’ service with a party at the central de-pot in the city, this Woodstock resident in-sists it has been 42 years.

“I should know, I did the time,” he laughs.This dedicated postman prides himself on

always getting the post to the right address-es.

Originally from Retreat, he attended StPaul’s Primary in the Bo-Kaap. He had toleave inGrade 7 to startworking in the fami-ly.

“It was tough times, but I wanted to do itand started working in the mail room intown, but knew that delivering themail waswhat I wanted to do.

“Eventually I was given the chance to doit and here I am 42 years later facing retire-ment.”

Talking about his experiences he feelsthat he’s never had a bad moment with hiscustomers.

“I always took pride in what I was doingand got to know so many people on myrounds. Always treat people with respectand they will respond in the same way.”Jassiem also explained that throughout

his career he used to walk his route.

“I did not use a bicycle; these hills are toosteep in this area, but the walking led meto my hobby of running and race walking.

“For the past few years I belong to a clubso take part in every race possible in distan-ces ranging from 21km to full marathons.”

He also feels the electronic age has affect-ed his work by making it slightly easier.

“Yes, there is not somuchmail nowadays

and the load is lighter, but there is still mailthat must be delivered.

“I don’t mind it so much, because I wasnot getting any younger and the age ofChristmas cards alsohad its problemswhenyou had so many bags.”

What are his plans for retirement?“More running, and maybe sleeping a bit

later,” he laughs.

Postman Mogamat Jassiem from Woodstock gets a fond farewell from Table Mountain duringone of his last rounds on the streets of Vredehoek. He retired yesterday after 42 years.

Police look forrobbers’ lootPolice records showsburglaries, theft and

robberies are on the increase in Philip-pi.Philippi police spokesperson Lieutenant

Lance Goliath says police shifted their fo-cus to second-hand goods dealers and she-beens in the Philippi policing precinct lastweek because of this.“What usually transpires is that looted

items from burglaries, theft or robberies ei-ther get sold for cash to the community orto second-hand dealers. Most of the timecriminals use cash to sustain an addictionto drugs or alcohol, apart from feedingthemselves or buying clothes,” Goliathsays.He further says the “law requires the per-

son selling any item to a second-hand dealerto produce identification” which gets re-corded in a prescribed register.“Second-hand dealers or private buyers

in the community seldom ask for proof ofpurchase, therefore police keeps an eye onsuch second-hand dealers – and often she-

beens too – where looted items are disposedof.“Police will continue with their focus on

thosewho illegally buys itemswithoutmak-ing sure that it’s not an item that was lootedin a crime,” Goliath says.Last Thursday police arrested a “well-

known figure” in Hanover Park for sellingalcohol.“A large quantity of liquor was confiscat-

ed. The 55-year-old woman was arrested inAlgoa Court and will soon appear in theAthlone Magistrate’s Court on a charge ofdealing in liquor,” he says.Police station commander Colonel Den-

nis Abels says police will continue clamp-ing down on crime and criminals.“The community is urged not to buy

itemswhich they suspect orknowwere loot-ed in a crime. They will open themselves tobe arrested and face the full brunt of thelaw,” Goliath warns.V Anyone with information on crime can call the po-lice on 021 690 1500 or Crime Stop on 08600 10111.

Adiamond anniversary, but theystill feel very young.

This is the story of Rashad andFatima Harrison, who celebratedtheir 60th wedding anniversary onFriday. The couple says they“didn’t feel the years”.

“I couldn’t believe it when wesaid this year we will be married60 years. For me it still feels like weare only together 35 years,” chuc-kles Rashad.

Their love story started in 1952when Rashad met Fatima at herfamily home.

“I worked at a shipping companythat was based in Strand Street andwould often pop over to this oneplace for lunch. One day when Iwas there I met this lady who wasvery good looking. This lady was infact Fatima’s eldest sister,” Rashadrecalls.

Animatedly, he explains thatFatima’s sister then said: “I dohave a sister.”

“Her sister then invited me totheir home. This is where I metFatima and I still feel the way I feltthat day when I met her. I went tovisit her many times after that,” hesays.

Fatima recalls they courted forabout a year before they got en-gaged.

“When he proposed I was 18 andwe married two years later. He was23 when we got married. Since wegot married he has taken care, real-

ly good care, of me,” Fatima says.“I was just sitting earlier on,

looking at the time and thinkingwhat I was doing that specific timeon my wedding day. I wore threedresses on that day,” says Fatima.

The two lived in Strandfonteinfor about 30 years before settling ina quaint place “ideal for just thetwo of us” in Ottery.

“My son did not want us to be onour own and so far away from them

and said we should come live withthem. Because we are very inde-pendent I told him I did not wantto live with him and his family inone house and so we had a cottagebuilt at the back of their home andthis is where we will spend the restof our days ... if the New Zealandbug doesn’t bite,” Rashad laughs.

Asked what their secret is tokeep their marriage going for solong, he says they “do everythingtogether”.

“When we do things, we do it to-gether. When we travel, we alwaysgo together and that has kept us go-ing for so long. It is so sad to seecouples who give up so easily ontheir marriages in today’s age. I be-lieve our generation is way differ-ent.”

The two agree that they keep ac-tive lifestyles as well “to keep usyoung”.

“We often go out together andspend lots of time doing thingswith our families. Rashad is, how-ever, very active, because he stillswims and cycles in the area. Idon’t think he wants to know he isgetting old,” laughs Fatima.

The couple have three children,all of whom are now also married.

“I always make a point of pray-ing for all our children and grand-children who have married,” Fati-ma says.

The Harrisons have eight grand-children and 10 great-grandchil-dren. Their youngest great-grand-child was born on their anniversa-ry on Friday.

Animals’ heroesshown in exhibitionNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Behind the banner of the Animal Anti-cru-elty League (AACL) is a group of individu-als working tirelessly to care for and findhomes for abandoned animals.

These “everyday heroes” have been cap-tured by local photographer Frank Pople.His work will be on display in an exhibitionin aid of the AACL.

Pople’s relationship with the AACL start-ed when he found a puppy inside a plasticbag while running. He approached the orga-nisation for help. When he saw its work, hewas inspired to take some portraits of thepeople working with the animals.

“Seeing those animals in cages waiting tobe adopted, like orphans, made me so sad,”he says.

Mpho Hlalele, AACL’s assistant generalmanager, says: “He gave us some gorgeousimages and we realised that we couldn’t justhave them and do nothing with them. So be-gan the idea, a year later, to find a spacesomewhere and share the photos with thepublic, creating this fundraiser.”

The exhibition will allow the public tomeet each person that has a role in animalwelfare – highlighting ordinary people tak-ing on extraordinary tasks, Hlalele says.Everyone from the receptionist to the clean-er and veterinarian is featured.

“The photos play a part in admiring theheroes responsible for saving thousands ofsentient beings annually – from the ladywith a warm smile who washes hundredsof blankets, to the knowledgeable handsthat save lives with a scalpel blade. Our he-roes bestow compassion on those who needit the most – the voiceless victims of our so-ciety,” she says.

The portraits also serve as a way to thankstaff for their contribution, Hlalele says.

“Welfare workers are often undervaluedand unappreciated, often blamed by societyfor humanity’s mistakes. It is a thanklessand heartbreaking undertaking. Our he-

roes do not bask in the glory of admiration;rather their tasks are carried out with pain-ful decisions and many tears. They have toendure much suffering to be able to savelives and they have to continue this never-ending battle for good to prevail. So in doingthis, we just want to recognise that everyperson who makes a contribution to makea difference, is a hero,” she says.V The fundraising exhibition will take place at 6 SpinStreet Restaurant in Cape Town on Friday at 19:00.Entry is a donation of R50. Raffle tickets will be soldon the night. All proceeds will go to the AACL.

Her father used to prac-tise with his band in their lounge when shewas four.“He even bought this little keyboard andput stickers on so I can know what’s what.”She discovered her voice in high school,at Windsor High School, which is where shemet her best friend “to this day”, Ilse Davis.The two started a girl group called Illusionand performed popular covers at carnivalsand events all over Cape Town throughouttheir high school career.After school, Leelia initially tried to keep

away from the music industry, pursuingstudies in Hotel Management instead. Butthe people she met in the hospitality indus-try steered her back to her first love.Leelia started her music career workingwith the late legendaryMischief in 2009. Shemet the rapper through a friendwhile study-ing atCapeAudioCollege, andonceheheardher “stuff”, Mischief invited her to join hiscrew the Hunchmen.“That’s kind of where I started to come in-to this whole hip-hop game; I guess I justcaught a bit of that fever.“Mischief basically taught me how towrite and come into my own style and flowof things,” Leelia continues.Fast forward a few years and she’s almostdone recording her – still untitled – debutalbum, which she plans to release in April.The album contains everything from RnBand dance tracks to proper hip-hop and evena ballad.“I want everybody to have a favourite onthe album.”“Whind it low” is the first single off thealbum. Leelia released it late last year andit’s already been playlisted on stations likeBush Radio.Leelia describes her sound as “a bit of aRihanna vibe”. While she does also rap,there’s a little more singing in her music.“If you listen tomy single: there’s rapping,but I’m singing it.”Her video launch on Friday 11 March willgive hip-hop fans a chance to see the musicvideo for the single before it airs on televi-sion channels like Tracer and Channel O.This won’t be Leelia’s first time on TV ei-ther; a few weeks ago she was featured onCape Town TV’s Ek Sê. She has a lot of radiointerviews behind her name.Leelia choreographed her music videoherself and hopes to introduce her newdance with the help of her new dance crewthe Dance Dolls.“I hope a lot of people are going to bewind-ing with me.”The Dance Dolls will be joining Leelia onstage at the video launch,where fanswill geta taste of her upcoming album.The audiencecan also look forward to performances bySomethingfromthemotherland, Abadwang-uzeli the Natives and Amper Alien.Tickets cost R40 each at the door with pre-sold VIP tickets, which include platters anddrinks on arrival, available at R100.V Email info@leeliajay.com or call or Whatapp079 062 9666 for bookings or more information.

Whatever floats your boat hereGARY VAN DYK

@gvdcapejazz

Visiting the Maitland workshopwhere the floats and parapher-

nalia are being made for the CapeTown Carnival is an exciting expe-rience.

At first glance it seems as ifyou’ve walked onto the set of somefuturistic science-fiction film withgrinders setting off sparks in all di-

rections from, at times, garish cre-ations. Hammering rings throughthe air from all corners of the prop-erty. And then you realise that thisis where the festival is really“made”.

On Saturday 12 March the publicwill experience the glamorous andglittering parade on the Fan Walkin Green Point, but last week themedia got to see the more seriousside of how it all gets put together

at a workshop in Maitland.

Fun workShaam Stringer is a fabric artist

from Ocean View who has beenpart of the festival for six years.

In front of him streamers arestarting to form a fantastic flower(or is it a face?) amid an array ofwires. He assures me it will allmake sense on the day.

“It’s been a wonderful experi-

ence for me,” he says. “I got in-volved through a friend and now itis an important part of my life.

“When I watch the parade andhear how people cheer for what Iam part of creating – that makesme the proudest. And of course it’sso much fun!”

The carnival also attracts atten-tion from overseas, with, for in-stance, carnival artist YasminLong from the United Kingdom

adding touches.She is an intern from Brouhaha

International in Liverpool whereshe is studying various aspects ofcarnival production.

“This has been an exciting timefor me to experience how peopleare excited about the event and allthe communities that are involved.

“I can’t wait to experience theevent when it takes place on 12March.”

IN THE GARDEN

Grow yourown ediblesA water wise vegetable and herb gardenhas the benefits of saving youwater and be-ing a source of healthy nutrition.Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries,

gives tips to keep your home greens in shipshape in this hot, dry season.

Water wise bedsKeep traditional square or rectangular

beds that channel the water to the plants.Making the beds slightly lower will help tocreate a pocket for thewater. But be carefulwhen walking on the soil between theplants – you don’t want it to become com-pact and decrease absorption and increaseevaporation.

Water saving granulesThese can save up to 50% on water usage

as well as give your plants a slow releasefeeding. Combine products such as Aqua-soil with the soil used for planting.

Shade netsYou can either cover your whole veggie

orherbgardenor thoseareaswhere the sunis a lot harsher. This reduces evaporationand allows faster absorption of water.Remember thorough, less frequent wa-

tering encourages the roots to grow deeper.In this way the plants can thrive duringtimes of drought or little watering.

MulchingMulching is one of the quickest, easiest

and most cost effective ways to conservewater in your garden. Mulch is any sub-stance placed on the soil surface, aroundplants, to keep moisture in the soil.The best sort, organic mulch, comes

mostly from plant sources. They breakdownwith the help of earthworms. You canuse compost, grass cuttings, pine needles,milled bark, straw, peat, crushed mealiecobs, autumn leaves and shredded paper.Inorganic mulch has materials that do

not break down but keep moisture in thesoil, like gravel, pebbles and stones.“Enjoy the ‘fruits’ of your labours and

keep those veggie and herb gardens thriv-ing during this hot and dry season,’ saysStodel. “There’s nothing nicer than eatinghomegrown food straight from the garden.”V For more tips visit www.waterrestrictions.co.za andwww.stodels.com.

UIF is a verylong call awayfrom paid[The letter writer has been trying todraw his UIF benefits.]Last Tuesday I tried calling the

labour department. Someone eventuallytook the call, after it rang for more thanten minutes. She answered and politelytransferred the call to another depart-ment. Another ten minutes later nobodybothered to take the call and then cutme off.Immediately I called back. Nobody,

but nobody, took the call.Maybe we can get the Athlone group

to show the Town Centre group how itis done. I have been there more thanthree times and still no help from them.They keep saying the paperwork is notin order.I have another date for tomorrow –

can’t wait to hear what’s going tohappen tomorrow.[He returned last Wednesday.]I’m fed up and they don’t realise that

we need to borrow money to come backall the time.I had an appointment to go sign again

for unemployment.I spent the entire day there only for

them to tell me that my documentshave not been captured on the systemyet.I eventually left at 13:00. I was there

from 07:00 in the morning.I’m not happy with the service here

and would like to know where I cansend my complaints to.

Debt review not so easyI wish to comment on the editorialcomment “Ignoring debt will not make itgo away” (People’s Post, 16 February).I wish to advise that the article paints

a very easy and trouble-free future forpeople who are in debt, suggesting thatdebt review would ease their pain.This is not entirely the full story.I was on debt review for nearly seven

years and for most of that time it reallydid not matter as I was using my ownmoney to pay for things.The trouble started when I wanted to

get off the debt review as the companythat had applied for my restructuring hadsubsequently closed and my file washanded over to a new company.I was sent a letter by the new compa-

ny, but could not make sense of itimmediately.It was only later after months and

months of trying to locate the people thathad placed me under debt restructuring

that I found the letter from the othercompany that had taken over the ac-count.But they were of no service to me

because they were never paid to do so.I managed to acquire the self-exclusion

form which is required should you wishto opt out of debt review.The lesson to be learnt here was that

getting into debt review was easy, butgetting out was frustrating.Without the proper information re-

quired at hand, one could face one of themost miserable days as no creditor orbank can help you if your status report isdebt review, regardless of how yourfinancial situation has changed.Debt review is not the answer, but

learning to know how to work with yourown money and applying faith-basedprinciples will save you from hardship.

Mistreatment at UIF officesI agree with the letter writer in People’sPost (“Claiming UIF is ‘controlled cha-os’”, 16 February). I have been to theAthlone office thrice and the office isvery slow. Twice I went to one assistantand to another the other time. The firsttime I went was in October, but I am yet

to receive my maternity leave UIFmoney. I was not informed properly andhad to take my forms back to work threetimes. I hope I can get my payouts beforegoing back to work.

DESIRÉE RORKE@dezzierorke

The first time she laid eyes on him, AlanaWitberg’s heart was ripped from her

chest.“He had the saddest eyes I had ever seen

on any animal,” she says about Snowy, thelittle Arctic fox that was rescued by theNSPCA from a petting zoo in Johannesburglast year and relocated to Butterfly WorldTropical Gardens outside Cape Town.Alana is the curator at the park.“When asked by the NSPCA if we could

accommodate him we said yes in a heart-beat.“He was in a terrible condition – over-

weight with overgrown nails and rottenteeth. It was clear that he had a tough life,”she says.The four-year-old male is a victim of the

illegal exotic pet trade in South Africa, andis believed to be one of 16 Arctic foxes re-corded in South Africa.Since he arrived in October last year, the

team at Butterfly World had gone the extramile to ensure that the remaining years ofSnowy’s life – another three to eight years– will be as comfortable as possible.“Arctic foxes originate from the arctic re-

gions of the Northern Hemisphere, and areadapted to living in very cold environ-ments.“The hottest summer days they experi-

ence in the ice tundras are 17° degrees,while they are quite comfortable at -50° de-grees during the long winters,” she says.

Now lives with female Cape foxIt is unimaginable to comprehend how

Snowy survived the hot African conditionsat the cramped petting zoo, where he waskept for years.“He was skittish and trusted nobody, and

very, very unhappy.”He was immediately set up in a tempera-

ture controlled environment at ButterflyWorld and Alana spent countless hourswith him to gain his trust.“In fact, we have cleared and refurnished

a two-bedroom flat with a bathroom all forSnowy’s use. Since it is very stressful for

him in the heat, he is kept indoors to remaincool,” she says.Here he especially loves lying on the cold

bathroom tiles and was joined by Leila, aplayful female Cape fox.“Hewas very lonely andwe brought Leila

in for companionship. Although she seemsto rule the roost with her dominant person-ality, the pair get on very well, and Snowyhappily submits,” says Alana and adds thatSnowy will soon be getting the “snip”.WithPeople’s Post’svisit lastweek the iro-

ny was not lost on us – an Arctic fox findingsolace and contentment in a tropical park.When Alana took him out of his cool en-

closure for one of two daily strolls, it wasclear that much had changed for this adora-ble little creature. He was in tip-top condi-tion, playful and curious with lively and in-quisitive little eyes.“He loves his strolls and needs the exer-

cise, but can’t stay outside in this climatefor too long. He starts panting very quicklyif it is too warm.”

AmbassadorSnowy is now an ambassador at the park

in their attempt to bring about awarenessregarding the exotic animals pet trade.“We hope that his story will make people

think twice before keeping an exotic pet.”If you would like to meet Snowy you can

go along to the park during his daily walks.On Saturdays and Sundays this is be-

tween 10:00 and 11:00 and again at 15:00 and16:00, depending on the temperature.“He will be walked on his harness by an

animal handler who is available to answeranyquestions andassistwith aphoto oppor-tunity.”V Call Butterfly World on 021 875 5628 for more infor-mation.

This man knows taxHe knows the game from bothsides and together with the taxombudsman, he ensures busi-ness runs smoothly.Advocate Eric Mkhawane,

CEOof the TaxOmbudsman, re-cently visited Mitchell’s Plainin a bid to educate the public onthe roles and powers of the om-budsman.The office was only recently

launched, says Mkhawane, andnotmanyknowof it ormakeuseof its services yet.

Mkhawane has been with theoffice since December 2013 andhas been practising law forabout 20 years. He started hispractice in Johannesburg in the1990s and worked at South Afri-can Revenue Services (Sars) be-fore passing the bar exam to be-come an advocate.He says he has experience on

both sides of the tax spectrum,having represented Sars andthe taxpayer, which helped himget an educated understanding.

There is help for your tax woesSAMANTHA LEE

@Samantha_Lee121

There is an organisation de-signed to help youwith your tax

woes, and the service is free ofcharge.The office of the Tax Ombuds-

man is an independent body estab-lished in 2013. Its CEO recently vi-sitedMitchell’s Plain to informres-idents of its services.Advocate Eric Mkhawane says

the office has been a long time com-ing. “The office was initiated in1995. After 1994 there was a tax re-form and it was found that thereneeded to be a tax structure to pro-tect the taxpayers’ rights andmedi-ate between the revenue serviceand the taxpayer,” he explains.The office was, however, only

put intomotionwith the passing ofthe Tax Act in 2011, which madeprovision for the body. “We neededtowait for [the SouthAfricanReve-nue Service (Sars)] to be ready, andwhen their processes were ready,wewere waiting for the next thing.It was put together in 2012 and be-came operational in 2013,” he tellsPeople’s Post.He says: “People must know

about us and our services. If peoplehad issues with the revenue ser-vice before the office, they wouldneed to go to court. We also wantpeople to know how to complainand what we can and can’t do.”About 20 people attended the

workshophosted byENSafrica lastWednesday.“The office of the Tax Ombuds-

man is an important institution

that contributes to assisting tax-payers. ENSafrica, as part of ourpro bono programme, felt it impor-tant to ensure that communitieswere informed of the services ofthe office of the Tax Ombudsman,and thus we coordinated the infor-mation session, which was pre-sented by the CEO of the Tax Om-budsman. The session impartedvaluable in-formation tothe partici-pants, whofound it to beof immensevalue,” saysNatashaWagiet ofEN-Safrica.Mkhawane

explainsthere are specific circumstancesthat allow his office to step in tohelp taxpayers. The law statesproblems before 2012 cannot bedealt with by his office, butMkhawane says they have request-ed permission to allow such issuesto be dealt with by his office.There is no representative of the

organisation inCape Town yet, butMkhawane says technology allowsthem to help taxpayers country-wide. “In the new financial yearweare looking to extend our footprint.It is a process we are working to-ward,” says Mkhawane.He explains the organisation is

governed by the law and com-plaints first need to be directed toSars before he is able to help – ex-cept in compelling circumstancesthat cause undue hardship for a

taxpayer.He adds the most popular cases

he deals with relate to refunds, butthe cases vary and are categorised.“We can make recommenda-

tions, but Sars does not need to im-plement it. But if they do not, wereport directly to the minister andhe would then ask why it was notimplemented. We aim to have is-

sues resolvedwithin 15workingdays, but thatwould de-pend onSars.”Mkhawane

says after re-ceiving acomplaintthey do an in-

vestigation by accessing the Sarsrecords and then contact the com-plaining taxpayer if they are ableto help. “We have a good workingrelationship with Sars but thereare some teething problems. Peo-ple also are afraid to complain tous because they feel they will bevictimised. If that happens we willdeal with it,” he says.The Tax Ombudsman’s service

is not without its limitations. Theoffice cannot make exceptions tothe law or help in matters alreadybefore the court. Sars still remainsthe first point of call, and in theevent they are not helping a tax-payer, the TaxOmbudsmanwill beable to help where possible.V For more information visit www.taxom-bud.gov.za. With complaints call their toll-free line on 0800 662 837.

Hellenic Football Club have kept theirleague aspirations alive followingtheir 4-1 home victory against a lethar-

gic Grassy Park United side in a Safa West-ern Cape regional ABC Motsepe League en-counter at the UCT astroturf field on Satur-day.While Hellenic, affectionately known as

the “Greek Gods”, are on song in theirleague campaign, Theo Hempe’s GrassyPark United are now singing the blues.United, togetherwith Ikapa Sportingwere

the only teams in the top five to suffer de-feats.Sporting fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of

Steenberg United.The two teams now sit on 34 and 33 points

from 19 matches and, with the gap wideningbetween them and the top, their chances ofclaiming a stake of the league trophy is slim.Glendene United, the defending league

champions, fought a tough battle to beat RCAthletico 1-0 in Kensington on Friday afterbeing kept to a 1-1 draw by United in a mid-week fixture.Glendene United maintain their position

at the top of the league standings.Glendene United have 42 points after 20

matches and Hellenic are second with 41points after 19 matches.Third-place Steenberg United, on 37

points, have played 18 games and simply

cannot be ruled out from the league race.The results confirm that all three front

runners are very much in with a chance ofwearing the league crown. It would give thechampions an opportunity to strike it big atthe promotion national play-offs for a berthin the national first division competition.NeverthelessHempe’s United sidewas un-

able to continue its good form. Team mem-bers appeared to have tired legs and as a re-sult, never really got into gear.Nevertheless, the Greek Gods never

looked in danger against the Southern Sub-urbs visitors. They held a 1-0 lead for the bet-ter part of the first half thanks to SlovoMra-wa’s goal. Waseem George made no mistaketo level matters for United.After the start of the match in the second

half, the Greek Gods found the back of thenet three more times and made full use oftheir chances in goals by Fabian “Tucker”Wareley,Mickyle JacksonandThandoBooi.The team was without its top marksman Al-fonso Fraser, who is serving a three-matchsuspension.V Full results from the ABC Motsepe League: GlendeneUnited 1, RC Athletico 0; Steenberg United 2, IkapaSporting 0; Milano United 2, The Magic 2; Barcelona1, Crystal Palace 0; Atlantic Nacional 2, Mitchell’s PlainUnited 1; Zizwe United 3, Black Cats 2; Hellenic 4,Grassy Park United 1; Ramblers 2, Atlantic Nacional 2;Ikapa Sporting 1, Zizwe United 0; RC Athletico 2, AjaxCape Town 1; Glendene United 1, Grassy ParkUnited 1.

School soccer players to beregistered on Safa appJOSEPH PILLAY

An initiative by the South African FootballAssociation (Safa) to register all school soc-cer players on a digital platform, starting atyouth level, could lead to a fruitful outcomeon all fronts.The aim of the exercise is to communicate

with Safamore effectively and to combat ageand other forms of identity cheating in thesport.According to Safa, soccer players will be

issued with a digital identification card thatcan be validated pitch-side using a free mo-bile app,which is currentlybeingdeveloped.Dennis Mumble, Safa CEO, says he is

proud that Safa is the first national sportingbody inSouthAfrica to launchadigital iden-tification project for school-age players.“This project will eventually wipe out age

cheating, a scourge on our beautiful game.Many people still approach us about agecheating, but because of lack of proof, in

most cases we are unable to do anythingabout it. With this new system, we are ableto track a player from first registration,”says Mumble.The project in the long-term will be used

as a tool for talent identification as well.“This project represents the first step in

Safa’s digital ambitions that include regis-tering all Safa stakeholders, including play-ers, referees and coaches by 2018,” saysMumble.Likewise, the competition systems and an

amateur soccer results website will belaunched in 2017, which Danny Jordaan, Sa-fa president, says forms part of Safa’s great-er, more longer term objectives.“These technology initiatives are another

important piece of Safa’s vision 2022. Howteams and federations use technology sepa-rates the merely good from the great. Thesesystems will be the foundation of our talentidentification pipeline for all our nationalsides,” says Jordaan.

It was sweet revenge for Falcons as theyavenged their earlier defeat against West-ridge Yankees in a Cape Town Softball Asso-ciation Super League match at Turfhall Sta-dium on Saturday.The Falcons, down 2-3, scored two earned

runs in the final and bottom of the fifth in-ning to send Westridge Yankees packing toa 4-3 defeat.Earlier this season, the Mitchell’s Plain

side starved off a stiff challenge by Falconsand beat Falcons 5-0.Falcons started pitching with Natalie

Abrahams, who was on the mound for 4.1 ofan inning. She faced 24 batters and allowedfive hits, while relief pitcher Nicky Jones(0.2 of an inning) faced nine batters and sur-rendered no hits.Featuring among the five single hits for

Yankees were Megan Cable, Jackie Adonis,Charmelle Whiteboy, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams (each 1-3). They also per-formed well in the field, making only twofielding errors.Yankees pitcher Cable faced 22 batters in

her five innings. While she conceded onebase-on-ball and earned six fanned scalps,Cable surrendered only four hits to Saman-tha Jones (1-1), Bettina Philips (1-2), Aama-rah Larney and Abrahams (each 1-3).ThewinmarkedFalcons’ 16th in 19 games.

They have one drawn result and two losesto date.With 49 points to their name, coach Andre

Alexander’s Falcons are second on the log –two points behind defending championsGlenthorn A’s. The A’s have played one few-er game.

Glenthorn A’s trounce VOBGlenthorn A’s trounced VOB 10-3 on Sat-

urday. Besides their outstanding fixtureagainst Westridge Yankees, they will meetNormies on Saturday and Falcons next Sat-urday to complete their 21 league matches.Should they emerge with maximum points,nothing will prevent them from clinchingtheir fifth consecutive league title.. Meanwhile, in the weekend’s other MajorLeague games St Martin’s sent Tantasportreeling to an 11-4 defeat. Kenfac Phillies re-corded a 16-10 win against Normies.
