ROSEBANK

New, better stationon the right track

TIYESE JERANJI@jeranji

In less than aweek commuterswho usethe Rosebank train station will beproud of being users of this station as

it has recently undergone upgrades.Though the work was contracted to becompleted by the end of this month, itseems all is on track to finish soonerthan expected.The station has been undergoing reno-

vations for the past three months at acost of R1.9m.The station had been dilapidated for a

long time. The toilets needed repaintingand the passenger shelters became filthyover the years.All the passenger shelters and toilets,

the ticket office and the subway havebeen given new touches. Two ATMs will

also be added.Henry Masimla, manager at Prasa

Corporate Real Estate Solutions, saysthe upgrades are being done as part ofa national initiative to improve stationenvironments.“The programme is meant to address

minor station upgrades to effect changesthat would bring about noticeable andlasting improvement in the environ-ment at small and medium-sized sta-tions. The improvements are initiated toaddress customer and public areas to im-prove their perception of the chosen sta-tions. The targeted areas relate to im-provement of security, access and egressand overall appearance of the station.This includes lighting, security features,passenger information, staff facilities –ticketing offices, passenger shelters, ab-lution facilities, paintwork to subways

and bridges. However, the implementa-tion of these improvement areas largelydepends on budget available at a particu-lar point in time – meaning that not allaspects of the improvementmay be donein one financial year,” says Masimla.Commuters say this is something they

have been waiting for because every-thing at the station looked old.James vanWyk, a commuter, says the

upgrades were long overdue.“The passenger shelters look all bright

and beautiful. I can’twait to see the com-plete work. We really appreciate the up-grade; now they must just work on thetrain schedules and improve our safetyin the trains. It will also motivate us touse the trains all the time as we won’tbe confronted with dirt and the filthywalls,’’ he says.Jonathan Hobday, chairperson of the

Rosebank and Mowbray Civic Associa-tion, says it is delighted that Metrorailis upgrading the station.“The station, which was in a very di-

lapidated state, has been given amarkedmakeover, with a comprehensive re-painting and a major re-fitting of the toi-lets. The upgrade will greatly enhancethe travel experience of commuters aswell as provide a general uplift for thewell-being of thewhole area and commu-nity,” he says. “We believe that havingattractive andwell-managed railway sta-tions is also essential to the ongoing fightagainst crime, especially in an area sowell-populated by students and school-children. However, some of the gardensand other open spaces at the stationscould do with some attention – they areovergrown and unsightly, detractingfrom the good work that is being done.”

Shop small to make big impactNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

“You can’t buy happiness, but you canbuy from a small business and that’s

almost the same.”South Africans across the country are en-

couraged to show their support for smallbusinesses through the new “Shop smallbusiness” and “Small business Friday”movement, an initiative by the NationalSmall Business Chamber (NSBC).Mike Anderson, CEO and founder of the

Chamber, says themovement calls on SouthAfricans to get behind the “job creators, na-tion builders, entrepreneurs and the hard-working men and women who make up thebackbone of the economy by owning orworking in a small business”.The movement aims to encourage and in-

spire South Africans to make a big impactby supporting small businesses all yearround,more so onFridays, and especially on“Small business Friday” which falls on thefirst Friday of September each year.“It’s a one-day high-action drive to get

even more South Africans to support, visitand spend at a small business. When youshop at small businesses, you impact theowner, the employees, their families, thecommunity and South Africa as a whole,”Anderson says.Small business owners play a pivotal role

in the socio-economic development of thecountry.They currently contribute over 35% of the

country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP)and, according to the Small Enterprise De-velopment Agency, employ more than halfof the people whowork in the private sector.“The role that small businesses play in job

creation, poverty alleviation, service deliv-ery and wealth creation all mean that smallbusiness is big business,” Anderson says.

“Nearly two-thirds of all South Africanworkers are employed by small businesses.”One out of five units exported from South

Africa is produced in the small and mediumbusiness sector.“Friday 4 September marks ‘Small busi-

ness Friday’, but it’s about so much morethan just one day. Through ‘Shop small busi-ness’ we’re aiming to bring about perma-nent change so small businesses can thriveall year round with the backing of all SouthAfricans,” says Anderson.

Positive differenceMaking a small change to where we spend

our money can have a huge impact on smallbusinesses, he says.“The advantages of supporting small busi-

nesses lie not only in making an impact onthe economy, but also the positive differenceit can make in uplifting local communities.Locally owned businesses help shape strongcommunities by keeping vital spend withinsmall towns and cities, leading to vibrant lo-cal economies that benefit all who livethere.”There are plenty of advantages for con-

sumers too – very often small businessescare deeply about the kind of customer ser-vice they deliver, knowing that quality prod-ucts and personalised service are what keeptheir businesses thriving, Anderson ex-plains.“With more support, small businesses

have the potential to breathe new life intothe South African economy. Small business-es represent countless hours of hard work,commitment, resilience and thousands ofjobs. Providing as much support to smallbusinesses as possible is an investment inour communities and South Africa’s collec-tive economic future.”V For more information visit www.smallbusiness­friday.co.za.

RED CROSS

Hospital getsbrand new scansTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

A multimillion rand medical imaging de-partment at the Red Cross War Memorial

Children’s Hospital that will help thousandsof Africa’s littlest patients was unveiled lastweek Thursday.

The purpose of the radiology departmentis to provide X-rays, computed tomography(CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging(MRIs) for patients, while the nuclear medi-cine department uses radioactivity to createimages of organs and diseases. It is the onlydedicated paediatric nuclear medicine facil-ity in South Africa.

R51m projectThe R51m project was funded equally by

the Western Cape health department and theChildren’s Hospital Trust, which relies onthe support of donors.

Provincial health also invested R23m onradiology equipment for the new depart-ment. With critically ill or injured chil-dren’s lives depending on the doctors’ abili-ty to make fast and accurate diagnoses, themedical imaging department will increasecapacity and comfort, as well as efficiency.

Separate waiting areas for inpatients andoutpatients have also been designed to en-sure that children with potentially conta-gious infections are not a threat to othersand those with low immune systems are notat risk.

The new department consolidates the ser-vices of the hospital’s existing radiology andnuclear medicine departments. These criti-cal services are accessed by every depart-ment, ward and clinic at the hospital, whichsees over 40 000 patients a year.

Prior to construction, these services weresplit over four sites on two separate floors,affecting patient flow and space negatively.

“The radiology department opened in asmall area of the B floor in 1956 with threestaff members and an X-ray machine. As thecomplexity of medical imaging has evolvedand our department has grown, we have be-come one of the busiest in the hospital with44 staff members who operate out of four sep-arate areas of the hospital to provide a com-prehensive imaging service,” says Dr TracyKilborn, head of the clinical unit of paediat-ric radiology.

Digital doctoringShe explains that the new medical imag-

ing department, encompassing nuclear med-icine and radiology, will now operate fromone integrated area that has been designedto cater to the digital environment that doc-tors work in.

With new X-ray rooms, ultrasound, fluo-roscopy and nuclear medicine units, work-

flow and efficiency has been optimised withthe intention of improving the experience ofpatients, caregivers and the staff.

Louise Driver, CEO of the Children’s Hos-pital Trust, says: “With thousands of pa-tients needing access to radiology services,the state-of-the-art medical imaging depart-ment will significantly improve the stan-dards of healthcare offered to Africa’s sick-est children. Not only will it provide ade-quate space to facilitate more patients, butit will also enhance the experiences of boththe children and the staff.

“We are so grateful to all of our loyal do-nors for helping us to raise the requiredfunding to build and equip this life-changingfacility.”

On planConstruction on the medical imaging de-

partment began in September 2013 and inless than two years the building is complete,on budget and well within the anticipatedtime frame.

Its unveiling was attended by key stake-holders and donors, with a keynote addressby premier Helen Zille.

“The Western Cape government is proudto once again partner with the Red CrossChildren’s Hospital in this innovation. Webelieve our contribution will go a long wayin serving the thousands of patients who re-ly on these services.

“I commend the hospital and its stakehold-ers for taking the bold steps required, de-spite various challenges to ensure that theRed Cross Children’s Hospital continues tolead in providing world-class medical care,”says Zille.

Kilborn says: “The new state-of-the-art de-partment highlights the value of partner-ship. Without the committed and tirelessfundraising by the Children’s Hospital Trustand the considerable contribution from theprovince, this dream could never have hap-pened.”

Dr Matodzi Mukosi, CEO of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, premier Helen Zille,Dr Anita Brink, head of nuclear medicine at the hospital, and Spencer McNally, chairperson ofthe Children’s Hospital Trust, with patients Kauthar Williams and Jamie Lee Kollie.

With thousands ofpatients needingaccess to radiologyservices, the state-of-the-art departmentwill improve thestandards of health-care offered to Afri-ca’s sickest children.

A positive mind can take you highTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Quadriplegic Chaeli Mycroft (21) fromPlumstead says a lot is possible whenpeople work together and they focus on

strengths not weaknesses.She believes for people to achieve great-

ness they must learn to surround them-selves with positive people who believe intheir abilities.“We all need people who can support you

whenever you need it,” she says.With support, shehopes to soonbe the first

quadriplegic to reach the highest peak inAf-rica.

Mycroft has cerebral palsy, a disorder ofvoluntary movement and coordination dueto injury to or poor development of the grow-ing brain which may occur during pregnan-cy, during the birth process, or immediatelyafter birth.It is the most common physical disability.

Globally over 17 million people live with ce-rebral palsy. InSouthAfrica one in every 400babies is diagnosed with it.A team of seven people, called the Chaeli

Kili climbers, started on an endeavour lastweek to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanza-nia to raise awareness and funds. Mycroftwill be helped up themountain in herwheel-chair. They hope to summit by Thursday.

Mycroft is a third-year student at theUniversity of Cape Town in Social Scien-ces, majoring in Politics and Social Devel-opment.To raise awareness and to show that

nothing is impossible, she decided to hikeMountKilimanjaro. Before she left forTan-zania she said she was excited about it.“I’m just a little bit nervous about forget-

ting something important, but I have com-plete confidence in my team members andour ability to reach the summit. We haveplanned and prepared as much as we can

and now just have tomake things happen onthe mountain. Anything that happens, goodor bad, is part of the journey,” she said.The whole idea came about when she was

convinced to actually go for it by a support-er.“TeammemberAdamSchafer approached

the Chaeli Campaign because he wanted toclimbKilimanjaro for a cause and thismadeit more of a possibility for me to do it. Wethen started planning more seriously andgot everything going and now we got readyto take on the challenge,” she said.

Chaeli Mycroft, in the wheelchair, is currently in Tanzania in an attempt to be the first quadri-plegic to summit Mount Kilimanjaro.

Don’t steal, buy a train ticketMetrorail has urged commuters to stopboarding trains without tickets, because itis illegal.This comes after a Metrorail employee

died last week when she tripped and fell be-tween the platform and a train while tryingto stop a commuter from boarding the trainwithout a ticket. It is alleged that theMetro-rail employee gave chase when the com-muter jumped into a moving train at Har-field station. The employee tripped on thewet ground. She was seriously hurt anddied on her way to the hospital.Metrorail spokesperson Riana Scott says

the employee was valued and diligent. “Shehadworked forMetrorail for six years. Dueto the incident 27 trains were subjected tovariable delays, four were cancelled for theduration of the police on-site investigation.We send condolences to her family.”Scott says commuters caught without a

valid ticket risk a fine. They can be prose-cuted and even get a criminal record atworst. Metrorail believes it loses 5% to 10%of its revenue due to people riding without

tickets. On average more than 2.5m traintickets are sold each month.More than 800 ticket verifiers work in

shifts to check tickets. To make sure theydon’t lose a lot of money and, on the otherhand, don’t use costly resources to monitorevery access point every day the companyplaces the ticket checkers at strategicpoints.From a business point of view it is more

productive to place staff at bigger stations.Staff deployment is based on analyses ofticket sales and frequency of use. In the ab-sence of technology like scanners or read-ers the ticket verifiers have to check thou-sands of tickets by hand every day. Duringpeak hours at busy stations staff manuallycheck 47 tickets perminute. Each ticket hasat least six things that need to be checked,like date, origin, destination, type, validityperiod and travelling class.Most of these ticket verifiers do their

work diligently despite the challenges theyface. Doing their jobs is not easy as peopleare often resistant.

Fire-fighting heroes welcomedTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Newlands firefighters who are part of theWorking on Fire programme got a hero’s

welcome at the airport as they arrived backfrom Canada where they have been fightingwildfires since July.These heroes were part of the South Afri-

can firefighters who received high praisefrom the Canadian Interagency Forest FireCentre (CIFFC) fortheir excellent workethic and teamworkwhilst theywere partof internationalwild-land fire-fightingteams.They fought multi-

ple fires in Canadaduring July and Au-gust. Following theirmonth-long work inCanada, CIFFC re-leased positive crewperformance reportswhich lauded,amongst others, the SouthAfricans for theirphysical fitness, productivity, health andsafety and mopping up operations.The Newlands team was part of 48 crew

members from the South African WorkingonFire programme. Theywent toCanada on21 July as part of a co-operative resource-sharing arrangement between Canadianand South African forest fire-fighting agen-cies. The first group arrived back in thecountry on Friday.The South Africans were initially de-

ployed to Edmonton, Alberta from wherethey were dispatched to help with fightingwildland fires in the heavily forested SlaveLake area. Once the Slave Lake fire was con-trolled, a few were redeployed to British Co-

lumbia, whilst the other crew membersstayed to complete mopping up operationsin Alberta.“The opportunity to work overseas has

allowed our crews to experience not onlyfire-fighting conditions in different fueltypes, but also working in very large fire-fighting operations with a greater range oftools and machinery,” says Nceba Ngcobo,the manager in the department of environ-mental affairs responsible for the Working

on Fire programme.“When they ar-

rived in Canada weknew already thatthe South Africantraining standardsand qualificationswere verifiedagainst the Canadi-an, US, Mexican,Australian and NewZealand systemsand our trainingwas way up there,”he says.Edna Molewa,

minister of environmental affairs, says thelocal firefighters have set positive exam-ples for the local and international crewson how to build strong morale and team-work.“We are extremely proud of the exempla-

ry manner in which our participants fromtheWorking onFire programmerepresent-ed our country with pride and dignity. TheWorking on Fire programme excels inchanging lives, and we are confident thatthis trip hashad a significant impact on thelives of these young men and women whowill now be able to learn from this experi-ence and also impact on their other col-leagues and families in the programme”,she says.

The South Africans worked alongside in-ternational fire-fighting teams fromMexico,the United States and Australia. They weredeployed to help Canada once the size andnumber of wildfires was too much for theavailable local resources.

Exchange agreementsCanada has experienced an extremely hot

and dry summer, leading to record levels ofwildfires. In anticipation of increasing fire-danger weather under future conditions ofclimate change, the international fire-fight-ing community has been working together

for some years to put exchange and re-source-sharing agreements in place. This isthe first successful deployment between Ca-nada and South Africa.“Our crews are excited to be returning

back home and once they have spent sometime with their families they will go back towork,” says Molewa.“All of them have expressed their joy at

having been able to assist Canadawith theirwildfires and have described their journeyas having changed their perspectives on lifein general but they have also learned a lotwhilst over there.”

Fire-fighters on the Working on Fire programme in Newlands were welcomed back afterspending a month in Canada fighting wildfires there.

We are proud of theexemplary manner

in which our partici-pants representedour country withpride and dignity.

Legal aid betterfrom colleaguesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Ncumisa’s face lights up when she talksabout helping sex workers.

She is part of a team of paralegals who arepromoting human rights among one of themost vulnerable employment groups – sexworkers.Trained through the Women’s Legal Cen-

tre, the group of former sex workers are ex-perts on their constitutional rights and aresharing this knowledge with others.Ncumisa, one of the paralegals, used to be

a sex worker in a brothel and has first-handexperience of some of the human rights vio-lations experienced by other sex workers.“It’s a great feeling to be assisting in away

I never was,” she says.The Sisonke Sex Worker’s Movement,

which offers similar services to that of a un-ion, found many members needed legal ad-vice. However, it was also clear that sexworkers were not comfortable talking freelyto lawyers, Ncumisa says.“We found sexworkers easily spoke to oth-

er sex workers about what happened whilethey were working, because they couldspeak openly without judgement,” she says.It was decided that the best way to im-

prove access to the service was to train sexworkers to give legal advice. The paralegalsare based at the Women’s Legal Centre, andwork with the Centre’s legal team.A large bulk of the complaints received

dealwithallegations of policeharassment orabuse, Ncumisa says. “Women working onthe road often report police violations, suchas being arrested and held for days withoutfood or phone calls or not being charged,”she says.Since lodging a number of complaints,

these reports have become fewer.“Now sex workers report they are being

fined between R500 and R1000, which many

can’t afford, for offences such as loitering orsoliciting. We advise them and assist themin contesting these fines,” she says.Other complaints include labour law in-

fringements in brothels, Ncumisa explains.“Sex workers in brothels can be exploited

by being forced to work long hours, to takeclients theydon’twant or even toworkwhileon their period,” she says.

Employee rightsDue to the work of the Centre, the Consti-

tutional Court has awarded sex workers thesame rights as other employees under theLabour Law, and they are now able to takecomplaints to the Commission for Concilia-tion, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).Guidelines have also been developed by

the Centre to recommend how sex workers,especially transgendered sex workers,should be treated during arrests and in hold-ing cells. This is in the process of being ex-panded to include prisons.“The sex workers using our services feel

safer. At least there is someone they can calland someone who can assist them. So manymore sexworkersnowknowtheir rights andare learning to protect themselves,” shesays.Sex workers still face stigma in their com-

munities; something Ncumisa has personalexperience with.“But now, even the community members

come to me for legal advice,” she says.

Many more sex work-ers now know theirrights and are learn-ing to protect them-selves.

Stodels Nurseries are encouragingCapetonians to join hands with them toplant a tree. They will be giving away 5000trees for Arbor Day on Friday.Since its Arbor Day project was launched

in 1983, Stodels has given away more than150 000 trees to encourage planting and col-lected hundreds of containers of old news-papers that have been recycled.You can exchange a bag (or bags) of old

newspapers or magazines for a free indige-nous tree at any of the five Stodels branches(Kenilworth, Bellville, Constantia, Milner-ton and Somerset West) on Friday.Nick Stodel, MD of Stodels Nurseries,

says: “Arbor Week is an ideal opportunityfor people to plant a tree and help offset ef-fects of global warming.“Global warming and the sustainability

of our environment is something we can’tafford to ignore. And when you realise thaton average, one tree can absorb a ton of car-bon dioxide over its lifetime, then it justmakes sense to take up the challenge andembrace the Arbor Day ethos and plant anindigenous tree.”There are two Trees of the Year this year:

The common tree is the Genus Heteropyxis,or lavender tree, and the rare tree is the Ve-pris Lanceolata or white ironwood.

Old papers are worth a tree

Where there’s smoke, clubs are under fireAuthorities have made a call for clubsaround Cape Town to adhere to smokingregulations.According to a statement by the City of

Cape Town, health inspectors have strug-gled to get the public to obey public smok-ing regulations.The inspectors have found three premis-

es in Harrington Street in contravention ofthe Tobacco Product Control Act. Theywere all issued with fines totalling R6000.Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral committee

member for health, says: “The tobacco leg-islation is very clear on where smoking isallowed, but some establishments blatantlydisregard the law.“These regulations are not new and by

now I would expect people to be familiar

with them. If not, surely anyone can under-stand a no-smoking sign when they seeone?”By law, smoking is not allowed in any in-

door, enclosed or partially enclosed areasthat are open to the public.The City’s health practitioners carry out

inspections at various businesses. The hot-spots are those with a large concentrationof night clubs like the city centre, GreenPoint, Woodstock, Salt River and Observa-tory.“It is hard work keeping tabs on every

single establishment, which is why I appealto the public to approach their nearest envi-ronmental health office if they come acrossanything of concern so that wemay investi-gate,” concludes Mamkeli.

Today marks the start of Heritage Month, a time duringwhich South Africans celebrate our bright and colourfultraditions and customs.

With so many local and inherited cultures, South Africais a melting pot of variety, made even more interestingby the manner in which many people have integrated age-old traditions into their modern-lives.

While heritage means different things to different peo-ple, in the end, it plays a huge role in defining our identity.

To understand a person, you must understand wherethey come from.

This is why it’s not only important to celebrate one’sown heritage, but also the history of those around you.

Heritage month is great opportunity to learn moreabout the interesting cultures of your neighbours and fel-low South Africans and to gain a better understandingof their traditions and ultimately, what makes them “whothey are”.

Learning about another culture not only teaches oneto respect that culture’s ways, but also to respect the per-son practicing it.

Walt Disney once said: “Our heritage and ideals, ourcode and standards - the things we live by and teach ourchildren - are preserved or diminished by how freely weexchange ideas and feelings.”

We cannot freely exchange opinions and concepts, if wedo not understand where they come from. Without thisfrank exchange, we can never open a dialogue with eachother ¬- a dialogue that we as South Africans so desperate-ly need to be able to address the issues we face as a nationand to move forward as a country.

So before you light the “braai” this Heritage Month, vis-it your library, switch on the TV or go knock on yourneighbour’s door to find out what exactly makes them“tick” and be a part of sharing your heritage and makingsure it lives on for generations to come.

Will land claims in DistrictSix ever be equitable?The overwhelming response to the massmeeting held in Salt River on 22 Augustis testament that the District Six work-ing committee (D6WC) is moving in theright direction and making a positiveimpact in its mission to bring aboutequality, equity, economic empowermentand prosperity – not only to the peopleof District Six, but to all historicallydisadvantaged communities.

Thousands of people are still in thedark when it comes to the status of theirland claims for District Six, 3000 ofwhom are members of the D6WC.

The meeting focused on a number ofkey issues. Most urgent of all was theneed to speed up the claims process andensure that claims are equitably dealtwith. This is an important element,especially with regard to the elderlyclaimants who have been waiting nearly20 years for their restitution.

The D6WC is calling for government tofast-track the validation and verificationprocess at the land claims office andsays that it is prepared to work withgovernment to help them expedite theprocess.

It also wants government to stopdevelopment in District Six until suchtime that equitable solutions have beenfound, for each and every claimant.

The issue of restitution in District Six

has been going on for far too long. Weneed equitable solutions and we needthem now. If government builds inDistrict Six now, so many legitimateclaimants will be left out in the cold.

Apartheid succeeded in dividing peopleof colour, and this has resulted in a deepsense of mistrust among the people. Thisis a legacy we want banished to the past.It is important for people to alwaysremember that together we can achievemore, but we need to be united, becausewithout unity we are lost.

The D6WC is determined to developrelationships with its members and getto know who they are. Members regular-ly visit the offices with queries, or justas a way of catching up with old friendsfrom the neighbourhood and reminisceabout the old days.

The working committee recentlymoved to new premises on the edge ofDistrict Six at St Philip’s Church inChapel Street. This space will be used asa place of interfaith interactions andhealing for the community at large. TheD6WC is also developing a number oflucrative partnerships with civic organi-sations that share its vision for a moreinclusive and participatory Cape Townand Western Cape.

SA sports starrestores prideAmid the negativity and gloom pertainingto the depressive all-time low of the rand,a breath of fresh air infuses muchoptimism and hope in the form of Waydevan Niekerk securing a gold medal in theWorld Athletics Championships inBeijing.

Winning the nail-biting 400m in 43.48seconds is a feat which places VanNiekerk as the fourth fastest man in thehistory of the 400m race.

Van Niekerk has restored SouthAfrican pride during a slump when weare deflated by an ailing economy,exacerbated by ineffective nationalgovernance fraught with corruption andscandal.

Cape Town-born Van Niekerk hashaloed South Africa in a golden era forSouth African track athletes, but moreso, in the greater scheme of things, hehas uplifted national pride and posterityout of its dark quagmire and miry pit.

Thank you, Wayde, for raising ourspirits at a time when it is needed most.

A knit in time saveschildren’s livesSome of my pupils at Wynberg SecondarySchool have asked for wool and knittingneedles to start a knitting club at school.I have given them as much as I can, butfind I cannot keep up with the demand.

To this end, I am respectfully askingthe community to assist the school inthis regard. I have asked the childrenthat with the donations they get, they canknit one square and then the rest of thewool is theirs to do with as they wish.The squares will then be sewn togetherinto blankets to be donated to some ofthe homeless in our area. Readers candonate any sized needles and any colourwool. The school can be contacted on021 797 0059/17 or donations can bedropped off at the school directly.

We are situated at the corner of Otteryand Cheddar roads in Wynberg.

Landmark dear to allThe article written by People’s Postregarding the destruction of the Rondeb-osch fountain with the headline “Historysmashed into pieces” on page 1 last weekis certainly very, very sad.

I sincerely hope the stupidity of theperson who destroyed this iconic land-mark will pay for its restoration.

The entire article stresses the fact thatthe fountain is so dear to the residentsof Rondebosch – in fact, it means a lot toall Capetonians.

I grew up in Rondebosch and passedthe fountain every day on my way toschool when there was little else in the

area. Other than it being restored manyyears ago, they even placed water in thetrough once again.

No-one has physically damaged thisgracious old piece of our past, so whydoes Anthony Davies, CEO of the GrooteSchuur Community ImprovementDistrict, think it should be moved?

Bits of our past are slowly beingremoved, in time there’ll be nothing forus to remember or for the next genera-tion. Leave it where it is meant to be forall to admire.

Four on saxes toexplore soundsLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town saxophone quartet Saxit! ispreparing a “diverse sonic experience”

for their EP launch at Blah Blah Bar in thecity centre on Thursday.The multi-genre group has been working

together since 2011 and is known for vi-brant, sometimes brash but also sophisti-cated musical output.Milnerton’s Gareth Harvey explains that

they started the group as a means to learnnew music and explore what they could dowithout a traditional rhythm section.“We started playing small gigs around

town and realised that people dig the sound,sowe kept going, playing bigger venues andfestivals and diversifying our repertoire.”Gareth plays the baritone sax while Fair-

ways’ JoelBenjamin is on leadalto/sopranosax, Jade de Waal from Gardens is on altosax and Vredehoek’s Simon Bates is on ten-or sax.“The bandmembers each bring their own

personality and ideas to themusic sowe areable to keep the music diverse and nu-anced,” Gareth says.Saxit! recorded its self-titledEPat SAE In-

stitute in Woodstock, which Gareth sayshas “a fantastic live room and equipment”.

The group spent time trying out differentmicrophones, mic placements and spacingto find the perfect sound. They decided torecord the EP live without any over-dubs.“We tracked about two or three takes of

each song and chose the best out of the lot.”It was important for the quartet that their

product was an “honest sound” with littleprocessing and they even left some of theirmistakes to give listeners more of a live ex-perience.With their music being completely in-

strumental, Gareth says they wanted a var-ied selection of sound to expose listeners totheir different sides or styles.“Some compositions take on a high ener-

gy groove while others are more laid-backand harmonically rich.”Saxit!’s launch on Thursdaywill be a full-

on show where they’ll be joined by localloop-based funk duo Loupe Deville. Theywill also be screening their short filmproject which they worked on with record-ing engineer Piero Capra. Two audiencemembers will win a lucky prize before theband takes to the stage with songs fromtheir EP and their regular repertoire.V Tickets for the show at 20:30 cost R80 and includea free copy of Saxit!’s EP. Visit www.blahblahbar.co.zaor Saxit!’s Facebook page or call Carsten Rasch on082 349 8849 for more information.

PEOPLE'S POST | CLAREMONT | RONDEBOSCHTuesday, 1 September 2015 SPORT 11

Play Sport 4 Life (PS4L) recently held asoccer development programme inPin-elands.

PS4L is a non-profit company operating intheKensington, Factreton andMaitland are-as andwas established to provide opportuni-ties for children and adults to participate insport, and in so doing, help them becomehealthier, more responsible citizens in theircommunities.The purpose of the soccer development in-

itiative is to unite communities through

sport as well as get children off the streetsby occupying their time and getting them in-volved with something they enjoy. The agegroups range from u.7 to u.11, with A and Bsides. This allows all the players to get anequal amount of playing time and a chanceto show off their skills on the field, whichwas appreciated by all involved.“I think it’s a really great initiative,” said

Ghadija Ismail, a regular supporter of theevent.“I love the setup of all age groups playing

at the same venue as it saves me having togo to two different fields to watch my boys,who play u.9 and u.11 respectively. I supportSaxon Rovers because both my sons playthere, but I can strike up conversationswithparents from other clubs because PS4L hascreated a close, family-like soccer communi-ty.”Ismail says she has noticed a significant

improvement in her sons’ behaviour withtheir participation in the programme.“Comerain or shine they are always ready

to come and play.”

Grow as individualsThose involved feel that PS4L gives the

children in the local communities an oppor-tunity to develop more than just soccerskills, allowing them to grow as individualsand brings them together no matter whattheir age.PS4L runs similar events every Saturday

morning between 09:00 and 12:00 at varioussports grounds across Cape Town.

Young communities unite with soccer

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

A trio of teens have set theirsights on achieving greaterheights, following their par-

ticipation in the Durban interna-tional u.19 tournament recently.Aghmat Ceres, Darren Johnson

and Shane Saralina, who are all 18years old and play for Ajax CapeTown, were selected and played forthe South African u.19 team, whoobtained a third-place finish at thetournament.South Africa’s best young soccer

players lined up against six inter-national teams, namely AC Milan,Arsenal, Celtic FC, GalatasaraySK, PSV Eindhoven and VfB Stutt-gart, while a KZN academy alsotook part in the high-profile event.Saralina is fromMitchell’s Plain

and said that even though this washis second call-up to the nationalside, he obtained valuable experi-ence in Durban.“It was a great experience there

(in Durban). We were together fora few weeks, but it wasn’t easy forplayers who came together so sud-denly,” he said.The Portlands High School pupil

played every match in which histeam participated in and althoughhe plays at left-back for his club, he

was employed as one of the main-stays in the heart of South Africa’sdefence. Saralina was grateful forthe opportunity to show off his tal-ent to both the local and interna-tional scouts at the tournament,with a view to hopefully secure alucrative PSL contract.“Other clubs looked at me and

the potential that I have to playPSL. I want to play PSL, but firstthe Diski (Challenge) and thenPSL.”Ceres is from Grassy Park and

thrived in the engine room of theteam, playing in central midfield.“To me it was a great experience

playing against the best in theworld. It’s tough, but I played witha host of good players. The high-light for me was scoring for mycountry on debut. You can’t de-scribe the feeling; it’s a nice feelingto have in that moment.”Ceres’s debut goal helped the

team to a 2-0 win over AC Milan.Despite being diminutive in size,he is not lacking in passion andverve, especially when faced withthe challenge of playing againstsome of the world’s elite.“You are playing against bigger

European opposition,” said Ceres.“They are fit, they are strong and

clever, and so you just have to tryto compete with them. You have to

be clever, quick and just don’t letthem touch you!”Meanwhile, Johnson, a goal-

keeper, only hoped that this wasthe start of a long and illustriouscareer in soccer. He hopes to emu-late Manchester United’s Spanishshot stopper, David de Gea, in thefuture.“All of the experience I got from

national duty, I am bringing backhome and developing my style ofplay. I started as a centre back, butchanged to goal-keeping by heart,because I love that position.”Johnson was hardly surprised

by his inclusion in the national set-

up, despite it being his first timerepresenting his country, butmaintained that had he not beencalled up, it would not have beenthe end of the world for him.“I still have awhole career ahead

of me, so I should look forward tobeing called up more often, so this(representing South Africa) is ac-tually driving me to be called upmore often.”Johnson says he has a contract

with Ajax’s senior team and playsin the Vodacom League as well asthe MultiChoice Diski Challengeteam. He urges other young soccerplayers to work hard and keep as-

piring to chase their dreams.Ceres backed up Johnson’s view

that hard work will pay dividendsand that talent alone may not al-ways be enough, something Ceresis all too aware of.“I think if I just work hard and

show the coaches what I can do.You know, you just need some luckand when you get the opportunity,you must take it.“You just need to work hard,

keep your eye on the prize. Hardwork beats talent, so there mightbe a better player than you, but ifyou work hard you will get some-where.”
