This is according to Belinda Walker, may- oral committee member for community ser- vices and special projects. She says she is very concerned about the delay associated with this project and is monitoring the construction closely through regular meetings with sport and recreation department staff and visits to the site. “I will ensure that the City is doing all that it can to expedite the works and is exercising all appropriate means to ensure that the quality of the finished product is not com- promised,” she says. People’s Post previously reported that con- struction at the Retreat swimming pool was set to be completed by December (“In the swim”, 2 September 2014). The construction at the pool site started in 2013. The former ward councillor, Jan Burger, said last year that although the construction was a lengthy process the community looked forward to the new pool as a recreational site. “We had to have patience due to the weath- er as this postponed the construction by a few months, but we are glad to see it is now taking shape and the facility will soon be open to the public,” Burger said then. “I am very excited for this facility in our community as it brings with it many possi- bilities. I am delighted at the good workman- ship as well,” he said. However, community police forum chair- person (and now the new ward councillor for Retreat) Kevin Southgate previously said that he had reservations about the project being completed before summer. “Admittedly, this is not a small project and the facility was closed to public use ear- lier this year. But we’re at the beginning of September and there is still so much work to be done on site that I doubt it will be open to the public in time,” Southgate said then. “My concern is that the contractor just does not have the capacity to complete this project before the summer comes around.” Walker says the professional team ap- pointed to the project is doing everything in their power to ensure that the project gets completed as soon as possible. “The delay in the completion of the works is not costing the City any additional money at this stage, neither in terms of the costs of carrying out the work nor for the profession- al team that is appointed,” she says.

Our reporters winbig in SA awardsBEN BURGER

People’s Post sister publication Tyger-Burger is once again the best free

(corporate-owned) newspaper in thecountry.

The newspaper’s Bellville editionwonthis prestigious award at the 2014MDDA/Sanlam Local Media Awardsdinner at Emperor’s Palace in Gautengon Friday. These awards recognise thebest local newspapers, radio and TV sta-tions and their reporters.

Monique Duval, reporter for People’sPost, won the award for Best Photogra-phy: Features and Portraits.

The awards are considered the Oscarsof the localmedia industry and is the on-ly competition in which local newspa-pers and journalists from different me-dia houses and owners from all over thecountry compete.

Many other journalists from Tyger-Burger andPeople’s Postwere among theTop 10 andeven theTop 3 invarious cate-gories.

Samantha Lee, reporter for the Mit-chell’s Plain edition of People’s Post, andDesireé Rorke, reporter for TygerBur-ger’sBrackenfell andKraaifontein editi-ons, were among the Top 10 in the Focuson People: Human Interest writing cate-gory.

Magriet Theron of the Parow editionof TygerBurger was among the Top 3News photographers, with André Bak-kes of TygerBurger’s Milnerton and Ta-ble View editions in the Top 3 for Sportphotos. Carina Roux, photographer ofWP Media which publishes TygerBur-ger, People’s Post and City Vision, was inthe Top 3 for Photographer of the Year.TygerBurger’s Brackenfell edition

was also in the Top 3 for the best frontpage (corporate-owned, free newspa-per).

Marita Meyer, group editor of WPMe-dia, says she is extremely proud of herteam: “Everyone works very hard andunderhugepressure, so it is quite rewar-ding when we are recognised for thishard work.”

However, penalties have been applied to thecontractor as he has missed the contractualdelivery date for the work.Walker says these penalties will be applied

until the date that the contractor completesthe work and it is therefore in the contrac-tor’s interest to complete thework as quicklyas possible.“The renovations consist mostly of enclos-

ing the main and baby swimming pools, butalso include minor upgrades to the entrancefoyer and other existing services,” she ex-plains.At this stage the contractor is busy with

putting up the steel structure that will en-close the pool.“Most of the brickwork around the pools

has already been completed, and once thesteel structure is completed, it would mostlybe the roof, windows and doors that is left tocomplete the enclosure,” Walker says.She adds that part of the construction con-

tract requires the contractor to appoint peo-ple from the area and there are targets thatare set for the contractor.“The way that the contract will employ

these people will be by contacting the sub-council offices and requesting possible work-ers from the jobseekers database,” Walkerssays.Adding that “this process is specified in the

contract document, and should the contrac-tor not meet the required targets, furtherpenalties can be applied in that regard.”

Belinda Walker, mayoral committee member for community services and special projects, saysshe is monitoring the construction work at the Retreat swimming pool after delays meant thatthe swimming pool could not open for summer at the end of last year. PHOTO: ASTRID FEBRUARIE

ASTRID FEBRUARIE@FebAstrid

A special law enforcement unit is to be es-tablished to manage Die Gaaitjie in-

formal settlement.This was revealed at a meeting between

residents who live close to the informal set-tlement, officials from the human settle-ments department and officials from thePassengerRailAgency of SouthAfrica (Pra-sa), metro law enforcement and the sub-council manager.Ward councillor Kevin Southgate recent-

ly facilitated the meeting on Die Gaaitjie inHeathfield. “Various concerns were raisedand thoroughly discussed,” he says.People’s Post previously reported that

squatters congregating at the property sur-rounding Steurhof train station sparkedfears of an informal settlement forming(“Squatters living on station property”, 8August 2014).Southgate says the respective officials

have outlined a number of points as a pro-posed way forward.“As Prasa owns the property and it is ear-

marked for future rail extension, anddeemed unsuitable for human habitation,Prasa must make a concerted effort to relo-cate Die Gaaitjie residents,” he says.Southgate says Prasa is to fence off the

land as buildings are right next to exposedrailway tracks.“Specific timelinesmust be establishedas

to how the City and Prasa propose to man-age the situation with the express view ofrelocating the informal dwellers,” he says.Human settlements officials proposed

that the dwellers be evaluated to establishwhether they qualify for housing.

“Such persons are then to be accommo-dated while others are then relocated andPrasa fences off the area. Prasa is to attendto clearing the area of trees and bamboo inorder to ensure illegal activities cannot takeplace there,” Southgate adds.Lindelo Matya, spokesperson for Prasa,

says the property has not been earmarkedfor commercial use but for the future east-west rail link that will link the southernline directly to the central line.“The area is not zoned and is not suitable

for human habitation – it is located directlyadjacent to a storm water canal,” he says.Matya says the City provides certain ser-

vices such as refuse and sewerage removal.Many of the inhabitants have illegal electri-cal connections from other portions of landbelonging toPrasa and the electrical depart-ment has finalised an investigation into theillegal electricity connection.“The findings will be discussed with the

City to ensure that the situation is reme-died,” he says.He adds that the settlement has grown

from 16 dwellings in 2002 to 56 dwellings.“The dwellers can only be relocated

through a legal process of eviction once theCity has designated an alternative servicedsite. Prasa has regular engagements withthe City’s human settlements departmentand others,” he says.Matya says Prasa continues to remove in-

formal dwellers on a rotational basis as thephenomenon also occurs at other stations.“With the assistance of police arrests are

made but people are released soon after-wards and the spiral starts again.Hence ourassertion that a sustainable and long-termsolution to vagrancy is urgently required,”he says.

Abuse ‘seriouslydamages’ childrenThe Saartjie Baartman Centre forWomenand Children has raised the alarm

around escalating levels of violence againstchildren.The Centre attributes the higher levels of

violence to an increase in violence in gener-al, with children being caught in the cross-wire – be it gang-related or domestic vio-lence.“Despite all of the awareness raised, at

least three children that we know of havegone missing over the past two weeks. Thesystem is broken and sadly children, ourmost vulnerable members of society, areeasy targets for predators,” says ShaheemaMcLeod, director of the Centre.

MotivateUsing Child Protection Week, which is thisweek, the Centre launched an anonymouspostcard campaign, aimed at exploring themotivation for violence. The campaign,named “I deserve it”, tasked 600 Grade 10pupils to describe the circumstances thatwould warrant domestic violence. Respons-es varied, from the unacceptability of vio-lence, no matter the situation, to violencebeing deserved when dinner wasn’t readyor an expected (but unconfirmed) affair hadtaken place.McLeod says they are not surprised by

the findings of the campaign. She says oftenthere is a disconnect between what peopleknow to be wrong and how they behave.“Our findings revealed that regardless of

the community and the school, the pupil re-sponses very much depended on the envi-ronment in which the child had been

raised.”Stories of child abuse are commonplace

in SouthAfrica; one out of four children areabused daily and it has been estimated thata child goes missing every five hours. De-spite the country’s child protection laws,policies and programmes, high levels ofabuse and violence are reported on a dailybasis.

Damage“Children are not only affected when theythemselves are the victims of violence – ex-posure to violence, for example towards themother, can be seriously damaging to theiremotional psyche,” says Zeenat Osman,child counsellor at the Centre.“Children who have witnessed domestic

violence may experience a variety of emo-tions ranging from guilt to helplessness,which in turn can lead to behavioural prob-lems or social difficulties. The postcardcampaign was very insightful in this re-gard; it provided an opportunity to explorethe ramifications of violence through ananonymous platform.”

Help for abuseGrade 10 pupils fromSeaPointHighSchool,Leadership College, Gugulethu Compre-hensive Secondary School and NormanHenshilwood High School took part in thepostcard campaign.Established in Manenberg in 1999, the

Centre helps victims of violence and abuse.Typical problems faced by the children

who visit the Centre include abuse, neglect,displacement and behavioural problems.

Kids’ thoughts on violenceLocal Grade 10 pupils took part in ananonymous postcard campaign by theSaartjie Baartman Centre for Womenand Children to explore the motivationfor violence.The 600 pupils from Sea Point High

School, Leadership College, GugulethuComprehensive Secondary School andNorman Henshilwood High School gavereasons for the use of violence. Here’ssome of their feedback:

Reasons for violence. When I am impundent and out of lineand get smacked for it.. When someone sexually harasses me..Mymother deserves it whenmy fatherhits her.. When men smack my bum because Iam dressed inappropriately.

. In Islam the husband can hit his wifeonly if she disobeys more than thrice.He’s not allowed to hit her in her face.

Reasons against abuse.Women should not be beaten, whetherthey are at fault or not. Everyone makesmistakes.Womendonot deserve to be in-jured for a silly mistake like burningfood. Men are just petty sometimes.. A women should not be beaten, ourConstitution and Bill of Rights says so.Everyone is equal, no-one is perfect, weall make mistakes. Women deserve re-spect, love and care and not to be beaten..When awoman does something wrongfor her husband, they should talk aboutit and not fight about it.. No one deserves to be beaten. It is notright.

Prediction comes true for this lawyerLIEZL BENJAMIN

His grandfather predicted that a young Ath-lone police clerk would one day become alawyer. And recently that prediction cametrue when Russel van Rooyen was admittedas an advocate in the Cape High Court.Van Rooyen (32), who hails from Sher-

wood Park in Manenberg, attended Wyn-berg Boys High and after he matriculatedthere were many careers that piqued his in-terest, but in the end his grandfather’s pre-diction and a cousin who was already a law-yer, won him over to law.In 2006 he enrolled for his LLB degree at

the University of the Western Cape (UWC)while working as a clerk at the Athlone po-lice office.Van Rooyen admits that studying while

holding down a full-time job has been a bigchallenge. He credits his success to sur-roundinghimselfwith “positive people” andhaving a strong support system.“It was difficult working and studying

part-time, but what kept me going was myfirm belief in God and the support I received

from my family.“My grandfather knew I was stubborn,

from a very young age already – and whenI get told I can’t do it, I try even harder toprove that I can do it.”In 2011 his determination paid off when he

graduated from UWC with his LLB degreeand in 2013 he hit the law books again whenhe did a six months’ legal practical trainingcertificate at the University of Cape Town.So other than the prediction of his grand-

father, what is the allure of the law to Van

Rooyen? He describes himself as a “champi-on for the underdog”, one who hates to seeinjustices done to his fellow man.“Law is applicable everywhere and forme

the aspect of protecting the human rights ofothers has always been an interesting one.”Advocate Van Rooyen is considering his

next step.“I would love to become part of the legal

services in the police and who knows, Imight even end up at the national prosecut-ing authority!”Van Rooyen laughs when asked whether

hewould ever cross over tobecomeadefenceattorney.He says there are lots of people who have

been wrongfully accused and they too havethe right to seek legal counsel – once againappealing to his sense of wronging the right.The plight of the downtrodden is a strong

motivation for Van Rooyen – and with thesupport of his loving family who knowswhere his sense of protecting the rights ofthe underdog will take this ambitious andjust-minded legal eagle . . . After all, eaglesare known for soaring to great heights.

Report illegaldumping to CityIllegal dumping “negatively impacts on theenvironment and affects local businesses,

as potential clients are put off fromenteringan area littered with rubbish”.This according toRetreatward councillor

Kevin Southgate who is putting out a callto residents to report offenders.Southgate says during his first month in

office the number of complaints relating toillegal dumping has been overwhelming.“Visits to the ward have been conducted ona number of occasions and the amount ofillegal dumping taking place is appalling,”he says.Southgate says perpetrators use every

ture and other household waste,” he says.Despite having a dedicated drop-off cen-

tre on 10th Avenue, Southgate says thecouncil has to send in front-end loaders ona regular basis to clean the road and its sur-rounding because of the illegal dumping.Southgate saysmayor Patricia de Lille re-

cently visited several illegal dumping hot-spots and stated: “I was shocked to see thevast amount of illegal dumpingand the com-plete disregard for the law as well as thehealth of the public and the environment.”Southgate says the City attends to numer-

ous blocked sewerage systems and toiletsevery month and clears illegally dumpedmaterials from open spaces.“While illegal dumping is extremely cost-

ly as the City spends approximately R350mannually to clear waste from open spaces,sewerage systems and toilets.This exorbitant amount could be much

better spent elsewhere on new services andinfrastructure,” he says.De Lille claims that the City could have

built 2 065 houses or provided electricity for31 627 homes with this money.“We must therefore be vigilant and bring

those who dump illegally to book. I wouldlike to encourage residents to take owner-ship of the community by reporting inci-dents of illegal dumping,” he says.Southgate adds that, at present, incidents

of illegal dumping are under-reported, andcommunities are encouraged to work withthe City to ensure that more incidents arereported.Residents are urged to take down the de-

tails of offenders and their vehicles, includ-ing registration numbers, and, if possible,gather photographic evidence “so that theCity can prosecute those who dump illegal-ly”.Southgate says the City has also intro-

duced a rewards policy which stipulatesthat the informant may receive paymentsof up to R1000 for information leading to afine being issued for illegal dumping.“Informants would be required to submit

as much evidence as possible, includingsworn affidavits, photographs or video foot-ageaswell as clear identificationof vehiclesand/or persons involved,” he says.Residents can visit the City’s website or

their local subcouncil office for a list ofwaste drop-off sites http://www.cape-town.gov.za/en/Solidwaste2/Pages/Drop-offandrecyclingpoints2.aspxAnyone who would like to report dump-

ing can contact the City’s call centre on0860 103 089 to report illegal dumping orsewerage blockages.

PLUMSTEAD

Drug talk prodsthoughts on lawASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The realities of drug use and the specificsof howvarious drugs areused, the imple-

ments involved, and the effects on drug us-ers were highlighted at a meeting in Plum-stead last week.St Mark’s Church hosted the first in a se-

ries of workshops called “Hot topics”.Warrant officer Keith Chandler, spokes-

person of the Diep River police, presentedthe informative talk on drugs.Pastor Nick Louw of St Mark’s tells that

there was also a discussion period in theworkshop. At this stage the conversationmoved to the government’s policy on drugabuse, legislation and the effectiveness oflaw enforcement.“There was a strong opinion from many

that our government isn’t doing enough, thepunishment for drug offences is not a deter-rent, and that the police lack sufficient re-sources to fight the drug scourge,” he says.However, Louw believes that, in com-

plaining about the high-level factors, “weare in fact forgetting one of the most vitalfactors right at home – namely, the familystructures in which the drug abuser israised”.“It is my firm opinion that the emotional

and spiritual health of individual familyunits in our country has a direct influenceon druguse, crime and society at large. Dur-ingmy own time spentministering in Polls-moor prison, almost all of the inmates Idealtwith hadno father figure growingup.”

He says he saw a direct correlation be-tween the functioning of the family unit inwhich aperson growsupandaperson’s riskof getting involved in anti-social behaviour.“The sameprinciple applies to drugabuse

– an article not long ago in a UK paper re-ferred to studies that found that fatherlessyoung people are 80.3%more likely to be in-volved in anti-social behaviour, and 69.1%more likely to be drug users,” he says.“Let’s not also forget the vital role that

mothers play, but the family unit has beendesigned to function best with both a moth-er and a father working in partnership,”Louw says.He adds that the family unit was created

to be “the incubator for healthy personal de-velopment”.“When we mess with its created design

it has all kinds of effects on society,” hesays.Louw says that in relation to the drug

scourge, “prevention is better than cure”and the best prevention is in families func-tioning the way they were designed to.“That’s why we at St Mark’s are passion-

ate about families, and seeing familiesflourish. We believe this is foundational toalleviating many of our society’s issues.This is the reason we’re running the ‘Hottopics’ series, looking at key issues thatfamilies face today,” he says.Louwadds that hebelieves local churches

are critically placed to provide input to fam-ilies. “I hope this will be the start of furtherdiscussions in how we can help South Afri-can families to flourish.”

Two arrested for murdersThe Steenberg police have arrested twomur-der suspects from Lavender Hill.Constable Zodwa Kedama, spokersperson

of the Steenberg police, says one of the sus-pects arrested was involved in a shooting in-cident which occurred on Saturday 28March.Kedama says the murder occurred in St

Ambrose Street in Lavender Hill.“According to information received by po-

lice the deceased was sitting in the housewhen unknown men entered the house andan argument ensued,” she explains.Kedama says the suspects left and returned

later and several shots were fired at the vic-tim, hitting him in the left leg and back.“The victim later died in hospital due to in-

juries sustained,” she says.

A 30-year-old man was arrested on Friday15 May and has appeared in Wynberg Magis-trate’s Court.In a separate incident, which occurred on

Saturday 9 May at about 20:30, the Steenbergpolice heard about a shooting on 11thAvenuein Retreat.“On arrival police found a group of people

standing in the road. They pointed out thevictim to the police,” she says.Kedama explains the police found the vic-

tim lying on his stomach with gunshotwounds to his back and leg. “The victim diedon the scene due to injuries sustained,” shesays.A 29-year-old man was arrested, also on

Friday 15 May, and he has appeared in Wyn-berg Magistrate’s Court.

With over four million visitors a year, it’s easy to seeTable Mountain as a tourist destination.It is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or watch the sun-

set. It’s a space to take the family or walk the dogs.But while we enjoy having one of the world’s natural

wonders on our doorstep, we should never underestimateMother Nature.The fact remains that our belovedmountain is just that

– a mountain. And with it comes any number of dangers.Yet every year we see tourists climbing the mountain

without water, in poor weather conditions and dressedinappropriately (some even wearing shorts and flip-flops). And a number of these hikers come off second best,with their day outing having the reputation of the“world’s most underestimated mountain”.Every year people go missing, are injured and even die

while climbing Table Mountain. Last year, the body ofa 23-year-old judo expert from Japan was found after hefell 30m. A two-week search is currently underway for amissing Muizenberg man who is thought to have gonehiking from Tafelberg Road.This is not to say you shouldn’t enjoy the World Heri-

tage Site. But you owe it to your family and to yourselfto take basic precautions.Tell someonewhere you are going and never hike alone

– four is considered the safest number for a hiking group.If lost, never split up. Rather retrace your steps. Makesure your cellphone is charged and you have the basics– sunblock, plenty of water, snacks and awaterproof jack-et. Don’t forget your hat and hiking boots.Choose your route carefully and stick to it. Allow your-

self enough time and start early. Don’t take on a trail be-yond your experience level. Watch the weather and time,and turn back before you start running late or if badweather threatens.

Attitude drives road accidentsI cannot understand how people stilldrive recklessly, still speed and stilldrink and drive even though they see orread how many persons are arrested forlast-mentioned.The carnage on the roads still carries

on unabated even if the law enforcementagencies announce they will be execut-ing roadblocks or checkpoints.The reason for this non-compliance to

the rules of the road or safe driving isattitude. Attitude is defined as “Aposition of the body or manner ofcarrying oneself, indicative of a mood orcondition”. Let’s go one step further –with attitude is another lane calledarrogance: “Excessively convinced ofone’s own self importance”.These two conditions put the foot hard

on the petrol pedal. I have personallyseen how others, and sorry to say myselftoo, experienced another vehicle justdriving too slowly for our liking orturning without using an indicator infront of us, then arrogance and attitudemake us become aggressive. Then the

foot is plunged hard on the pedal toexact road-rage revenge.The type of vehicle one drives also

triggers attitude and arrogance for somelaw-abiding citizens and then the vehicleof status or stature becomes an Arabianstallion ridden by a take-no-prisonergladiator.The music and the sound volume play

another role in the attitude and arrogantmannerisms of the normally passivedriver and here I speak of myself onceagain. I have discovered that when Iplay passive music I drive normally andmy foot is light on the petrol. But let meput on a catchy song, then I feel sohyped up that I develop an attitudewithin moments and that attitude andarrogance is suddenly reflected in myway of driving. If it affects me then whatabout other drivers?Let’s not forget the driver with the

pimp-my-ride vehicle, the super soupedup vehicle – once the key is turned thepeacock attitude kicks in and when thepedal paddling is enhanced the arrogant,

untrained racing driver makes the roadhis racing track with no regard orrespect for other road users or residentsresiding along the trail blazed.Lastly, the one for the road, that one

is normally way and above the legallimit and then the attitude is thosefamous words “I can drive my car”. Thatarrogant nature makes you the mostdangerous potential killer on the high-ways and byways.The above is a summary of the main

causes of death and destruction of lifeand property on our roads. I want ourminister of transport and all thoseinvolved in traffic management to get anattitude and also become arrogant byreducing the speed limit as speed kills.I requesting the courts to increase the

penalties of those found guilty. We needto see those fines in our media andsocial networks on a monthly basis.This strategy will put the brakes on

attitudes and arrogance of all road users.ALFRED ADOLPH BLAKE,

Ottery

Debate requires cool headsI have noted with disturbing concernthat people opposed to euthanasia arebecoming histrionic in their approachto the debate and refer to peoplesupporting euthanasia as killers andmurderers.This type of attitude does not make

for healthy debate.The department of health, who is

also opposed to the right to end one’slife when afflicted with a terminalillness, is guilty of double standards. Itfreely advocates abortion. The doctorscarrying out the procedure are notreferred to as killers and the proce-dure is not called “physician-assistedfoeticide” but, rightly so, terminationof pregnancy.People who are in favour of this

right come from a range of education-al backgrounds and are quite clearthat they do not wish to be subjectedto the pain of dying from the compli-cations of terminal illness. This shouldnot be classed as the same as anable-bodied person committing suicidedue to depression; this is a differentset of circumstances.Doctors willing to assist patients

with this request are not cold-bloodedkillers but are very compassionate and

accept that medical science has itslimitations.To end one’s life, when there is no

hope, has been deemed unethical andimmoral. Who makes such a decisionon what is ethical and what is moralin the face of enormous humansuffering?Ethics and morality mean very little

to someone who is severely afflictedby incurable pain. They are the onlyones who fully understand what it isto live in agony, waiting for death, notsome wise philosopher in his/her cosystudy, full of books that make him/herlook erudite and knowledgeable abouteverything.

World cyclist visits CapeMARK WARD

ACape Townmedical doctor, Amit Ghosh,has teamed up with Indian adventurer-

cyclist Somen Debnath.Ghosh (29) met Debnath, who hails from

Sunderban-Kolkata in the province of Ben-gal, three weeks ago at a gathering at theShri Siva Aalayam Hindu Temple in Ry-lands.Debnath is onanaround-the-world bicycle

tour in aid of HIV/Aids awareness. Hereached South Africa earlier this year – the94th country on his trip. He has already cy-cled 112 600km.“My goal is to travel 200 000km and visit

191 countries, meeting 20 million people bythe end of 2020,” says Debnath.“From 2009 to 2012, I cycled across Europe.

I have travelled in 10 countries in theMiddleEast while South Africa is the 10th Africancountry I have visited.“During my travels I have experienced

many close encounters which were life-threatening. At one stage I was blindfoldedand strapped to a chair in darkness by theTaliban. But, overall, I generally cameacross good people, which has made my tripthus far not only interesting, but also fulfill-ing,” says Debnath.While Ghosh is not joiningDebnath on his

journeys, he will be helping to document theadventurer’s travel stories.“After my first meeting with Somen I was

intrigued by his determination. I’m fromBengali decent and share his culture. Myfamily has strong roots in India. Because hisnatural eloquence is in Bengali I want to as-sist him to create his stories in English. Wealso share a common vision about advocacyaround HIV/Aids,” says Ghosh.Debnath was recently the guest of JP

Smith, mayoral committee member for safe-ty and security. Debnath handed over an In-dian flag to the City at a ceremony held atthe Newlands cricket ground. The flag wasreceived by Nashua Cape Cobras player

Mthokozisi Shezi.Smith jokingly referred to Debnath as be-

ing “nuts” for his travels. “One can onlyhave admiration for this brave youngman,”said Smith.

He brings love ofBollywood homeLOUISA STEYL

Cape Town performance troupe Taare isbringing Bollywood to your doorstep.

Founded by Athlone’s Ahneesh Valodia,Taare aims to promote and preserve the In-dian arts in “an original and creative man-ner”.

By using Bollywood song and dance,Ahneesh says they make Indian arts moreaccessible or appealing to audiences as wellas the troupe’s dancers, helping them main-tain a link to Indian culture and traditions.

Ahneesh explains that the term “Bolly-wood” refers to both traditional and mo-dern Indian dance styles.

“It’s actually any style you can think of,”he says, adding: “It’s more the creative useof different dance styles.”

Ahneesh started dancing when he waseight years old and says he knew then alrea-dy that that’s what he wanted to do for therest of his life.

His plan was to pursue formal training af-ter matric, but his “health started actingup”.

Although he was diagnosed with muscu-lar dystrophy, a degenerative muscle disea-se, Ahneesh performed as much as possiblein his teens while he still could, until it gotto a point where he needed to swop the stagefor a wheelchair.

Dancing had become the centre of his lifethough and he couldn’t give up on hisdreams, so he decided to switch performingfor teaching and choreography.

Knowing that “there is a way aroundthings” is what helped Ahneesh cope. Bystarting the troupe, he gets to help otherdancers achieve their dreams.

Bollywood has always been Ahneesh’sfirst love. As a child he used to watch Bolly-wood movies and try the dances himself.While he’s a classically trained dancer, hisBollywood choreography is self-taught.

He started spreading the word aboutstarting a troupe in 2012 and contacted dan-cers that he knew were not actively perfor-ming at the time.

With word of mouth Taare grew and therest, as they say, is history.

In the beginning, Taare would ask dan-cers to book spaces at UCT residences forrehearsals. Today, however, they have a setvenue at Rustenberg Girls’ High Schoolwhere they rehearse every Saturday from10:00 to 12:00 with extra rehearsals when

they are preparing for a performance.Ahneesh says the troupe of 30 dancers is

made up of matriculants, students and pro-fessionals. “They come from all walks of li-fe.”

He says the audition process is open toanyone, with no previous dance experiencenecessary.

Taare performs a few times a month andthe group performs its own productionsalong with shows at charity, community orcorporate events.

Ahneesh says, to his knowledge, Taare isthe only Bollywood dance troupe in CapeTown. While there are Indian danceschools, Taare operates more like a dancecompany.

The group runs on a non-profit basis, rely-ing on sponsorships and donations. At themoment, they are specifically looking forsomeone to help with their social media ma-nagement.

Ahneesh explains that his troupe existsto provide a service to the community. Theyprovide a platform for dancers to maturetheir talents and bring Indian dance to a wi-de range of audiences.V Visit www.taare.co.za or www.facebook.com/TaareDance for more information about Taare and itsshows, to arrange an audition or to find out abouthelping the troupe in any way.

Keep up withrules of the roadMore crashes arise from human error

than from any other cause, and disre-gard for traffic law is one of the main rea-sons for these errors.This is the word from the Automobile As-

sociation (AA), which was commenting onthe International Automobile Association’s(FIA) international drive for better roadsafety by promoting adherence to the rulesof the road.“Every motorist with a valid driving li-

cence started out with two tests of trafficlaw: the learner’s licence and the drivingtest,” says the AA.“Over the years, drivers often forgetwhat

they’ve learned or disregard it altogether.“In addition, traffic law changes over

time – what is legal today may not be legaltomorrow, and motorists need to adapt.”The AA gives the example of the recentlyintroduced child seat legislationwhich nowrequires childrenunder threeyears tobe se-cured in an SABS-approved child seat whentravelling in a passenger car.“Traffic law evolves constantly and it’s

every motorist’s duty to stay up to date.”

Gamble with lifeAlthough South Africa has some of the

most comprehensive traffic legislation inthe world, the country’s road safety recordis poor. One of the reasons motorists disre-gard traffic law is because the law seems tobe applied incorrectly.“If you live in an area which has many

four-way stops where traffic circles wouldbe more appropriate, the answer is not todisobey four-way stops,” the AA says.“Rather approach the local municipality orroads agency to suggest a change to the roadlayout. When motorists take the law intotheir ownhands, it can easily become a hab-it, until one day theymay routinely disobeya four-way stop and be involved in a crash.”Another reason for poor compliance with

traffic law is motorists who believe they

knowbetter. Examples are often seen ofmo-torists who overtake over barrier lines ordrive through red traffic lights, either be-cause they believe there is no danger or areunable to recognise it.However, many crashes arise when these

gambles do not work out as intended, andthe AA says motorists should not pick andchoose which laws to obey.

Resist temptationTraffic law enforcement in South Africa

is not applied to the same standard as inmany developed countries and this leadsmany motorists to drive as they please inthe belief that they will not be caught. Thiscan lead to a status quo of unlawful behav-iour in which other previously law-abidingmotorists notice this tendency and begin toadopt it themselves, reasoning that if otherscan drive that way, so can they.“It is unfortunate that we must single out

the taxi industry in this regard, but taxis’routine of driving down roads on the wrongside or in the yellow line to avoid traffichave led othermotorists to behave the sameway,” the AA says.“We call on motorists to resist this temp-

tation – continued safety at thewheelmeansdriving in accordance with traffic laws re-gardless of inadequate enforcement or thepoor behaviour of other road users.”TheAAsays thatmanymotorists areuna-

ble to complete even a short journey with-out breaking at least one traffic law.Common traffic offences by many motor-

ists include failing to indicate for lanechanges, following too closely, disregardingroad signs and not wearing seatbelts.“Past data indicates that the majority of

fatal crashes on our roads arise from justa handful of traffic offences,” the AA says.“If every motorist resolved to drive in ac-cordance with the law, South Africa’s roaddeath toll would be much lower than it cur-rently is.”

even plan on winning,” says Rukadza whois from Cape Town of his victory.Trail queenand four-timeOldMutualTwo
