A 79­year­old man died during a fire thatburned through three shacks in 6th Avenueinformal settlement in Kensington. The firealso left six people homeless.

KENSINGTON

Shack fire claims life

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

“We tried to rescue the old man butit was too late. Half of his bodywas alreadyburnt, so he sat help-

lessly in the fire.”So tellsMichelle Johnson, a resident of 6th

Avenue informal settlement in Kensington,after a fire on Wednesday last week claimedthe life of a 79-year-oldman and left six otherpeople homeless, including her family.

Johnson was one of the first people on thescene to help pensioner Leslie Theunison ashis shack was engulfed by flames.Though the cause of the fire is unknown

at this stage, residents believe it was startedby a candle in his shack. He stayed alone.Three shacks burnt down and nothing

could be saved from them, though residentstried to douse the fire. But it was too late.Most of the victims have been left with

what they were wearing at the time of thefire.

Johnson, a mother of two, says she was vi-siting a friend when the fire started.“There was a big noise, then a loud bang.

I went to see and there was smoke. As I wentback to my house and opened the door Icouldn’t believe my eyes. I was met by hugeflames and that’s when we called out forhelp. I tried to get my children to help aswell. What pains me is that children lost ev-erything and those going to school had noth-ing left, so they need help,” she says.She adds that their fire-fighting effort

wasn’t easy because of wind.“The wind made everything impossible.“My son came back to me, telling me they

couldn’t take Uncle Leslies out of his shack.It reallyhurts andwe couldn’t save anythingfrom our houses.What really tearsmy heartapart is that the old man was trapped in thefire andwecouldn’t takehimout.The flameswere too strong and everyone came out tohelp, but there was only so much that wecould do,” she says.V Continued on page 2.

Cancer shouldn’tdecide for youTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

“There is life after cancer; youjust don’t give up, because

life is so precious.”These are the words of mother

of four Natalie Isaacs (49) fromConstantia, who says she cameface to face with death after shewas diagnosed with breast can-cer three years ago.

“When the doctor told me thatI had cancer my whole life turnedupside down. I lived a healthylifestyle and I didn’t expect tohave cancer. I don’t smoke ordrink, so having cancer was thelast thing on my mind. It hit mehard, but I had a decision to makeor cancer was going to decide forme,” she says.

After hearing the news shethought to herself that shewouldn’t allow cancer to pull herdown. She felt she had to live andbe there for her children.

“It was a matter of decidingwhether I allow cancer to pin medown or I deal with it and fightthrough, so that I will be there formy children who really neededme the most. It wasn’t easy. I hadto go to doctors and I had to fightand this is why I’m here today. Ifought; I didn’t allow cancer topin me down because life is so

precious. No-one should give upbecause they have cancer. I hadto fight it on my own with thehelp of my children,” says Isaacs.

She has had nine chemothera-py sessions and got divorcedsince then.

To gather strength and helpothers as well she started a sup-port group for people living withcancer and those who have sur-vived it. Isaacs says the storiesthat she heard from other peoplewere unbelievable. “Before Iheard from others I thought mycase was just bad. But meeting

other people and talking abouttheir situation I realised thatwhat I had gone through wasnothing.

“People should learn not togive up but fight,” she says.

Isaacs encourages women to gofor regular screening. “Do yourmammogram and pap smear, be-cause early detection can helpsave lives. It’s not only womenover 40 years of age who can getcancer but everyone can.

“I also encourage women to doself-examinations on theirbreasts. If there is something thatis worrying, visit your doctor.”

Isaacs, who is reigning MissCansa, stands to be a beacon ofhope. She will be sharing her sto-ry with others to give themstrength to pull through and toraise awareness as October ap-proaches. October is Breast Can-cer Awareness Month.

To hear more about Isaacs’ sto-ry join her at the Cuppa for Cansaevent at Grace Chapel Hall, Sun-derland St, Kensington on Satur-day at 09:00. The donation to par-ticipate is R60. Apart from herstory, more fun activities areplanned.

For more information, book-ings or donations contact Isaacson 083 277 1846 or email marlene.george6@gmail.com.

Natalie Isaacs, a breast cancersurvivor will share her story at aCuppa for Cansa event onSaturday in Kensington.

The World Tourism Organisationforecasts that by 2030 the majority(57%) of international travel willbe to developing countries such asSouth Africa.

This is very good news for SouthAfrica, given the key role attrac-tions play in driving economicgrowth and creating jobs, SabineLehmann, managing director ofTable Mountain, said in an addressat a World Tourism Day event.

The event took place in the run-up to World Tourism Day on Sun-day and was inspired by the 1Bil-lion Jobs, 1Billion Opportunitiescampaign, which highlights thatthe 1 billion tourists travelling theworld each year create a billion op-portunities for progress and pover-ty eradication, especially for devel-oping countries.

Bucket lists“Attractions are a key motiva-

tion for tourists to visit. Everybodywants to share a selfie to show thatthey have ‘been there and donethat’. Bucket lists are the new goalsets,” said Lehmann.

“In turn, these attractions, beingpart of the service economy, playa key role in creating full-time andseasonal employment.”

Lehmann, drawing on insightsgained at this year’s AttractionsAfrica Conference, said the bigquestion was what would be per-ceived as an attraction worth visit-ing in ten years’ time.

“The greatest amount of uncer-tainty lies on the demand side –what will motivate customers tocome to our attractions in the fu-ture?” she said.

“A recent study in the Nether-lands found that over the next tenyears attraction managers need tofocus on quality, authenticity, sus-tainability and interaction – bothon site and online.”

Lehmann, in welcoming thenews that global tourists will in-creasingly head for destinations inemerging economies, warned thatit was still important to attract lo-cal tourists.

“We have seen how local visitorsto the cableway have increasedsteadily as we introduced a num-ber of specials throughout theyear, ensuring South Africans toocan visit – accounting for 45% ofour visitor numbers annually,”she said.

“For attractions to be authenticthey need to include and speak tothe local domestic market.”

SA to gain in tourism

FROM PAGE 1Fire and rescue spokespersonTheo Layne confirms the inci-dent: “Three structures burntdown and six people were dis-placed. One adult man sus-tained fatal burns.

“The cause of the fire is unde-termined at this stage. The inci-denthasbeenhandedover to po-lice.”

The victims are being housedat a nearby crèche until theirshacks can be rebuilt. City’s dis-aster management helped thevictims with building material.

Kenfac Ratepayers’ Associa-tion and the Peace Buildershave helped the fire victimswith re-building their shacksand food.

Ricardo van Niekerk of thePeace Builders says residentshave been helpful.

“We are really thankful tothose who helped and there isstill more that needs to be done,as they lost everything in theirhouses.There are scholl goingkids who still need uniforms,shoes and other things. Parentsalso need clothes, anything atthis moment can help,” he says.

While neighbours have triedto donate what they could, thevictimsneedmore clothes, blan-kets and shoes.

Those who want to donate cancontact Johnson on 078 215 6465or Mariam Oliver on081 242 9646 or drop their dona-tions at 94 Acre Road.

Residents who have been affect-ed are urged to come forward withtheir stories. One woman signedan agreement after receiving anauction notice. But she never re-

ceived any part of the auction in-come. A con artist may have beenworking in several areas for thepast three years. The person is saidto approach vulnerable womenand then charms them into a deal.V Call 061 073 7149 or email housing-scam2015@gmail.com.

Pupils know of peace and prideTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Kensington High School pupils weretaught anew lessononTuesday lastweek

– how to be peace ambassadors and be proudof their Afrikaans language.An outreach programme, called “thepeace and pride”, was organised by theWes-Kaapse Kleurlingontwikhelingsorganisasie(WKKOO) and the KenFac Concerned Resi-dents group. Grade 8 to 10 pupils packed theschool hall as they listened attentively.They also watched a documentary whichfocuses on a theatre piece, entitled Afri-kaaps, and is based on the creative processes

and performances of the stage production.Using hip-hop, the film and the stage playattempt to reclaim Afrikaans – long consid-ered a language of the oppressor – as a lan-guage of liberation. The film “liberates” Af-rikaans from its negative reputation, takingit back to the people who own it.The aim of the school outreach pro-grammewas tomake the pupils aware of thegood things they can do for their communi-ties by having inner peace. Despite comingfrom different backgrounds their school isa prominent school. They were urged tomake a collective effort to keep it like that.Ricardo van Niekerk, WKKOO chairper-son, said at the school: “A lot of kids are sur-

rounded by negativity and we want tochange that, we want them to see the good.“It has taken a lot from us and it has dis-turbed our peace but our aim today is tomake them find inner peace and see the goodin the community other than seeing the badthat surrounds them. But before going outto seek peace or plant peace in the communi-ty, theymust have peace within themselves.“There is a lot that can be done andwe aretargeting pupils as they are the future lead-ers of the country, so we must teach themand make then understand the true essenceof standing up for the community and doinggood.”Emile Jansen from Afrikaaps told the stu-

dents they must be proud of speaking Afri-kaans.“We come from a rich history and most ofit is not even taught here at school. Takepride in your language, know where youcome from, be interested in learning otherthings as well about your language. Afri-kaans is spoken by many people and whatwe must learn is to talk the language withpride.Whenyou look or talkAfrikaans don’ttalk like you’re burdened. This is our lan-guage andwemust be able to speak it proper-ly and any time. No-one should feelashamed; there is somuch to learnand shareabout this language, so takepride,” saysJan-sen.

Kids’ volunteershelp play, relaxTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The Friends of the Children’s Hospital As-sociation celebrated its volunteers at its

annual general meeting at the Red CrossWarMemorial Children’s Hospital onMon-day last week.For the past 37 years the hospital has de-

pended on volunteers to help cheer up theyoung patients and to show them the hospi-tal is not a bad place – rather a place wherethey come to be nursed to health.This year alone the hospital has hadmore

than 700 volunteers come through the door.The Friends Association (Focha) doesn’tdoubt that the volunteers form a backbonefor the patients’ recovery.Volunteers are recruited locally but there

are also international volunteers.Volun-teers play with the children, read for them,help them to relax and take them for outingsonce in a while. They stay between oneweek and six months, spending an averageof 60 hours at the hospital.This is why the Friends took time to cele-

brate these volunteers.David Stephens, director of Focha, says

volunteers are very important.“Besides the medical treatment the chil-

dren get at the hospital they also need to be

helped emotionally and helped to relax.This is what the volunteers do best. Theyreally help to keep our children happy and,though some of themmight be very sick, thework that the volunteers do with them isamazing. They really change lives by put-ting smiles on the children’s faces,” he says.Stephens adds that the volunteer pro-

gramme is a melting pot for cultures, skillsand knowledge.“This enhances the healing process of our

children. Volunteers are active throughoutthe hospital wards and in the outpatients’clinic. They change lives. They support thechallenges of the healthcare system andsupport in nurturing the partnerships withcommunities,” he says.Part of the celebratory day’s activities

were special awards given to five volun-teerswho retired after a combined 101 yearsof service. Jean Harker (88) volunteered for31 years, Claire Hoffman (71) for 29 years,Neville Atkinson for 29 years, Gwen Mac-Crae for 22 years, Joan Bryson for 10 yearsand Patricia Mentoor for nine years.Stephens says there’s so much that

wouldn’t be achieved without the volun-teers.“They really do a good job. They help heal

a child.Theygivehopeandcare that ismorethan just medical care,” he says.

Friends of the Children's Hospital Association held a celebratory day to thank volunteers ofthe Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

Assemblies in Voortrekker Road, says hewas delighted to comeacrossDetectiveCon-stable Michael Pietersen.One of his employees had abscondedwith

return the next day so that the address ofthe employee could be visited before filingpaperwork.Pietersen then visited the residential ad-

dress. He calmly explained why he was

there and what was going happen shouldthephonenot be returned the followingday.After the visit by the detective to the em-

ployee’s house Voigt received a call the fol-lowing day from Pietersen to inform himthat the company phone was returned bythe employee.Voigt was very pleased with the service

that he got from the detective.“He just had the right attitude, energy

A new non-profit organisation in Clare-mont is dedicated to the safety of wom-en in Claremont nightclub areas.

ClubWatch Protection Service (CPS) istwo months old and patrols mostly onThursday to Saturday nights. The five pa-trollers say they couldn’t sit weekend afterweekend and listen to the stories of rape, as-sault, spiking of drinks and attacks on wom-en who go to clubs to have fun. So they decid-ed to do something.

The friends teamed up and will offer theirservice as part of their passion for security.They watch that women at clubs are not har-assed or pickpocketed and that they take aregistered cab when they go home. They al-

so check the permits of taxi drivers.The idea for CPS came about after the

friends heard in the media about the attackon 18-year-old Sanet de Lange after a nightof partying with friends in Claremont.

The founder of CPS, who doesn’t want tobe named because of the sensitivity of theirwork, says they have to help were they can.

“Bouncers are mainly concerned withfights. They don’t really care about thesmall, petty things and that will be our fo-cus. We used to party in the area as well andwe still have friends and sisters who partyin the area so we want to make sure thatthey are protected and there is no-one whotakes advantage of them because they hadtoo much to drink,” he says.

He encourages those who go partying tostick together as there is safety in numbers.

“Don’t let your friend wander off forhours if you don’t know where she is. Weare not here to step on any toes or tell themhow to have fun, but we are keeping oureyes open so that they don’t fall prey to peo-ple who are just waiting for them to getdrunk. Our concern is just reckless behav-iour after one has had a lot of classes. Wework in pairs, so there is no chance of leav-ing one of our guys with a female. At thesame time, we don’t want someone to feelstalked so we just talk funny things and wewalk close to the person so that we makesure that they get to their cars safely.”

Claremont police spokesperson SergeantLindile Dubela says they welcome the initi-ative. “All I can say for now is that anyonewho wants to help fight crime in our areais welcome,” says Dubela.

Pluto, a 7-and-a-half-year-old Boxer dogwho went missing while his owner was

surfing inGranger Bay,was reportedly sto-len and sold for R50.His bereft owner, Robert Abel, said on

Sunday that he left his “sweet-natured” peton the beach on Friday afternoon while hehit the waves – something he often did, asPluto is well-known in the area.“Everyone loves the dog . . . He is legend-

ary atmost of the surfing beaches of the At-lantic seaboard.”When Abel came out the water, he saw

that Pluto was gone.He began looking for him and ap-

proachedacouple on thebeach to see if theyhad witnessed Pluto’s disappearance.The woman told him that the dog had

beenwith thembefore, but then her “friendsold him for R50” to a woman in a car.She told him the woman was at Pick n

Pay supermarket with the dog, and wouldreturn.“You will get your dog back,” the woman

apparently told Abel.However, shortly afterwards, the couple

disappeared from the beach area. Abel saidthey appeared to be homeless.Abel then went to a nearby police station

where hewas told that if he emailed a photoof the dog, patrols would be informed tolook for him.Oncehedid so, hedecided to stop looking.“I would have kept hunting but I thought

the patrol could cover more ground.”However, Abel said he was horrified

when he phoned the police station the nextday and was told that they did not have ac-cess to the email system afterhours or onweekends.“It’s absolutely appalling,” said Abel, re-

gretting the lost time he could have beenout searching for his precious pooch.By Sunday, he had still heard nothing

about Pluto’s whereabouts.Abel said he got Pluto when he was six

weeks old and “you could hold him in onehand”. He originally named him Da Bombbut then was concerned it might causeproblems at airports with security, sochanged his name to Pluto because Boxers“are goofy and super-sweet in nature”.He said while Pluto did not like to swim

“he did love to run in the water up to chestlevel”.JP Smith, mayoral committee member

for safety and security, says that while hehas not heard of the abduction of dogs frombeaches, he knows of two cases where dogswere snatched in the vicinity of their own-ers’ homes and sold.He believes “the chance is slim” that Plu-

to will be spotted.In terms of the City’s bylaw, the selling

of domestic animals is illegal. Legally, a petis considered property, so its abduction isclassified as theft.

American soprano Mardi Byers is on herway to South Africa for the first time to

perform Verdi’s Requiem with three localchoirs at UCT’s Jameson Hall on Saturday10 October.She will share the stage with the Sympho-

nyChoir ofCapeTown,VoxHumanaand theCity of TygerbergChoir. Theywill be accom-panied by the UCT symphony orchestra andsoloists Monika Voysey (mezzo soprano),Given Nkosi (tenor) and George Stevens(baritone) under the baton of AlexanderFokkens.Mardi, who is based in Switzerland, was

invited by Heathfield baritone George. Thetwo met while performing Aida overseas.The friends are both fans of Verdi’sRequi-

em. “It’s one of my favourites to perform aswell as listen to,” Mardi says, while George

calls it “the requiems of all requiems”.Mardi says she knew at the age of three

already that she would become an operasinger. Both her parents were opera singersand her father was also a conductor.

“It’s in my blood.”Shemade her operatic debut as Floria Tos-

ca in Germany in 2003. Her performance ledto invitations from major opera housesaround the world.

While hers is a career of many highlights,top of Mardi’s list is performing Mahler’s“8th Symphony” at the First Night of theProms of the BBC in 2010.

A singing studentGeorge says it’s the neverending learning

in his job that draws him to opera.“Be it new works, contemporary, baroque

or romantic.”He joined the Cape Town Opera Company

in 1992 and his debut as Selim in Rossini’s

Il Turco in Italiawas broadcast live in SouthAfrica.He studied in Vienna and Munich and

honed his skills on South African and Euro-pean stages before becoming the principalsoloist as an Italian baritone of the TheaterBremen in Germany.

While he still performs across South Afri-ca as a baritone and bass baritone, Georgeis busy nurturing a new generation of sing-ers at the South African College of Music atUCT, where he has been amember of the Vo-cal department and Opera teaching staffsince last year.George enjoys meeting colleagues, travel-

ling and being in demand. He also enjoys be-ing able to communicate with his audienceand taking on the challenges that singersface on a modern stage.V The Verdi Requiem at the Jameson Hall at UCT onSaturday next week will start at 20:00. Tickets for theshow cost R150 and are available at Computicket.

Flats’ wall falls on woman residentTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A resident of Mountain View Villas onRoyal Road in Maitland is in a critical

condition after a property wall fell on herwhile she was hanging laundry to dry onThursday morning.Tenants of the complex say they are in

constant fear as the walls that support thewashing lines are weak.Apparently the walls fell “constantly”

last year and, although they reported it,nothing has been done.This is the second time this year that the

wall has collapsed and injured someone.The first victim she spent days recoveringfrom her injuries in hospital.Last week another tenant was rushed to

Groote Schuur Hospital after the wall fellon her as she was trying to put her blanketon the line. She had to undergo an opera-tion.A resident who lives close to where the

incident occurred spoke to People’s Post oncondition of anonymity. She says she heardscreams on Thursday at about 07:00.“She was screaming for help, and when

I came out, her leg was trapped under thecollapsed wall. When I got to her she wasscreaming about her hip and her back andhead aswell. Shewas bleeding fromher leg.“We had to call for an ambulance for her

because she was in severe pain,” she says.Other tenants say they have requested

stronger walls, but their calls continue tofall on deaf ears. Now their worst fear isthat one day the walls will fall on childrenand kill them.One tenant, Cynthia Chivambo, says

they are worried about children playingoutside.

“You will never know when these wallscollapse. At times you find children climb-ing all over the walls, which is extremelydangerous.”Chivambo says the building owners claim

it’s not their problem as the contractors nev-er did a good job.“If you look round the complex, you will

see cracked walls everywhere, and when weask them to fix it, they tell us it’s not theirfault. I believe cheap material was used.“People pay a lot of money here. We can’t

live like this. Something has to be done.”Hoossain Thomas, portfolio manager for

Trafalgar Property Management, says theyare aware of the incident.“Weknow that someonewas injured in the

complex but we are still waiting on the fullreport. As of now we can just confirm thatthere was such an incident,” he says.Faizel Moos, marketing and client service

manager at CapeTownCommunityHousingCompany, says they are aware of the inci-dent but they are not in a position to re-spond.“We await formal feedback from the body

corporate-appointed security company aswell as a detailed report on what could havecaused the wall to collapse,” says Moos.

Cynthia Chivambo, a tenant at Mountain View Villas in Maitland, says their washing line wallskeep falling and pose a great danger to residents and their children. PHOTO: TIYESE JERANJI
