Dark areas harbour criminalsANDRE BAKKES
AN ARMED man calmly sat onan elderly man’s chest while en-joying some chocolates during arobbery in Constantia last weekFriday.
It was also the last weekend thatthe elderly couple spent at theirhouse before moving into a retire-ment village on Monday.
They were uninjured.The two robbers escaped on foot
with jewellery, despite the fact thatthe area was teeming with policeand security guards.
Diep River Police spokesperson,Warrant Officer Keith Chandler,says they were staging a roadblockjust 400m from the incident. Bergv-liet, Kreupelbosch and Meadow-ridge (BKM) Watch committeemember, Wayne Weimann, says anumber of neighbourhood watchmembers were also carrying out ahigh visibility project in the area.
“During the course of the eveningthere were over 60 patrol vehiclesinvolved. Some were stationarywhile others were patrolling the ar-ea,” says Weimann.
However, all the law-enforce-ment commotion in the poorly litneighbourhood did little to deterthe two suspects.
Chandler elaborates, “At about20:40 the two residents were wokenuo by a loud thud from anotherroom. Suddenly two males armedwith knives appeared in their bed-room. One of the suspects sat on theelderly home owner and threatenedhim with a knife while the othersuspect started to ransack thehouse.”
The couple’s daughter, who wish-es to remain anonymous, told Peo-ple’s Post that one of the robberswas eating chocolates while sittingon her father’s chest.
Chandler continues, “That justshows you their crazy audacity.The (other) suspect had a black bag
which he filled with a lot of old goldjewellery. They took their time -roughly 40 minutes - before fleeingthe scene on foot.”
According to Chandler, Weimannand Wynberg Police spokesperson,Captain André Venter, the fact thatthe suspects left on foot probablyaided them in their escape.
Nova Constantia is particularlybadly lit, which means there areplenty of places for criminals tohide at night.
Says Chandler, “The residentsdon’t want more lighting, but if wepatrol the area then we must be ableto see. Even some properties are notadequately lit.”
Venter adds, “It’s pitch dark insome areas. We are looking to getsome nightvision equipment for po-licemen, but it is very expensive.”
He speculates that the suspectswere not opportunists in this caseand that they knew their wayaround. Weimann agrees, and eventhough in this particular case the
suspects escaped on foot, he none-theless arguesthe case for havingcameras installed in neighbour-hoods.
“If they used a vehicle with aknown suspect’s registration platesand they entered the suburb bypassing a camera point, then therewould have been an early warn-ing.”Chandler uses the opportunityto warnresidents tobevigilant “Westrongly recommend more lightsand alarms on properties. You sim-ply can’t be too sparing when itcomes to your safety.” Chandlersuggests that elderly couples are“easier” targets, but reminds peo-ple to stay calm if they are caughtin such an incident and “never tryto be a hero.”
Counselling was offered to thevictims and a case of house robberyis being investigated.
Anyone with information relat-ing to this incident can contact De-tective Constable Jack on(021) 710 7300.

The debt counsellingprocess unlockedIn this instalment of our fort-nightly legal advice column,the focus is on debt counsel-ling
What is debt counselling?DEBT counselling is a process
to assist people who are over-whelmed by debt and can nolonger meet all their commit-ments. Debt counsellors negoti-ate and restructure credit agree-ments to allow the consumer tomake regular contributing in-stalments. This is a voluntaryprocess, but can also be orderedby a magistrate.
When meeting with a debtcounsellor it is important to betotally honest about your situa-tion. This makes it easier for thedebt counsellor to make an accu-rate assessment of your needsand abilities and to assist you.
Consumers tend to shy awayfrom administrators and debtcollectors, but the debt counsel-lor is there not only to serve thecredit providers but consumersas well.
Debt counsellors will makecontact with your credit provid-ers as soon as you have volun-teered yourself for debt coun-seling. The submission processlasts 60 working days, duringwhich:
1. the debt counsellor makescontact with all your creditors torequest the balance certificates;
2. an attorney is appointed torepresent you in court whenneeded;
3. the new instalments are ne-gotiated.
This 60-day period is by nomeans a payment holiday. Thecredit agreements youhavemuststill be serviced. However, thedebt counsellor will arrangewith you to pay the money intoa distribution account.
Once all creditors have agreedto the terms, and your 60 days areover, you are considered to beunder debt review until all yourcredit agreements have been set-tled.
Your debt counsellor must beissued with clearance certifi-cates for each of your creditagreements.
While you are under debt re-view you will be unable to enterinto any new credit agreements.Once your debt counsellor issuesyou with a clearance certificate,it takes about 5 to 10 workingdays for your status to bechanged with the credit bureaus.
Who should apply for debt re-view?
If you can not meet yourmonthly instalments, or if youare receiving default noticesfrom your creditors, then thisprocess could assist you.

‘Unique’ boat in demandANDRE BAKKES
A SPEEDBOAT, which its right-ful owner claims is the only oneof its kind in Cape Town, was sto-len recently right from under theowner’s nose.
The Caribbean Trinidad Speed-boat, with a 1988 Suzuki 140 hp out-board motor, was left overnight onowner Mike Sch-acht’s front lawnwhen it was stolenduring the night.
According to him itwas just two metresfrom his bedroomwindow.
“I woke up at 04:30and noticed it wasmissing,” says Sch-acht.
“It’s ironic, be-cause I just got thecertificate of fitnessand we were gearingup to use it this sum-mer.”
Schacht bought theboat second-handtwo years ago, but he was unable toappreciate it to the fullest since histwo children were still very young.
“I normally leave it at my broth-er’s place where it is more secure,but because I’ve had to finalise all
the paperwork and so on for the cer-tificate, it was at our place for a fewnights,” he continues ruefully. Hejust bought a life jacket for his two-year-old daughter and he har-boured dreams of going to placessuch as the Berg River or Kwag-gaskloof.
Itwas first reportedbyDiepRiverPolice that the boat is the only oneof its kind in the country, but Sch-
acht says it’s more likely that it’sthe only one in Cape Town.
“It was manufactured in Johan-nesburg, but these manufacturersno longer exist. I’ve also been boat-ing since I was a kid and I’ve never
seen a hull like this,” he continues.The speedboat has a “closed
nose” as opposed to bowriders -where there are seats in front of thewindscreen.
When asked if he will be purchas-ing a new boat, Schacht answers “Idon’t know. I’ve looked at some ofthe prices on the website, Gumtree,but most similarly-powered boatscost R50 000 plus. I don’t think I will
be able to afford anotherone...”
The previous ownerapparently left it in hisgarage most of the time,so the motor is still inmint condition.
According to DiepRiver Police spokesper-son, Warrant OfficerKeith Chandler, theboat was probablytowed away by a dieselvehicle, possibly atruck.
“The serial number ofthe boat is CATR8804and its registrationnumber is U-R-2719. Itwas on a Roland Axle
Trailer (CA 348 914) when it was sto-len.”
Anyone who has information re-garding its whereabouts can con-tact Warrant Officer Lewis on (021)710 7363.
NOTHING BUT A MEMORY: This rare Suzuki 140 hp speedboatwas stolen from the Schacht’s residence. Photo: Supplied

DANA Winner is nostranger to being
adored.
The gorgeous and talent-ed Belgian singer has beena popular performer inSouth Africa for manyyears. She has also donethousands of interviews, soshe takes gawking journal-ists in her stride.
People’s Post spoke to hera few days before her recentshow with Patrizio Buanneat GrandWest Casino. Sad-ly, it was a telephonic inter-view. But, yes, it is possibleto gawk over the phone.
“I’ve been to South Africaabout 10 or 15 times. It’s al-ways very exciting to comehere,” says Winner.
“I always tell peoplewherever I go that South Af-rica has become my secondhome and it’s because of themany things you have inone country. This countryhas very warm and welcom-ing people and once you arein their hearts then you cannever leave.”
This last part is certainlytrue for the stuttering, star-struck person asking thequestions.
Winner bubbles on:“Cape Town has changedthrough the years. It’s nowa very colourful place, and
whenever we work thereit’s like being on holiday.”
Winner performed atGrandWest Casino before,but she has never shared astage with Patrizio.
When asked if it’s truethat he is a flirter of note,she exclaimed “I can hon-estly say that I don’t knowhim that well, but he’s anItalian; what do you expect?No, really, I only met him anhour ago and he’s a verynice person. I recorded myvocals in Belgium and himin South Africa. Technicalequipment nowadaysmakes it easy to combinethose things. I can honestlysay that it has become avery beautiful jewel.”
She emphasises the im-portance of voices going to-gether, which “creates a bitof magic” but this journalistis wrestling with an acutebout of Patrizio-jealousy.
A change of subject was inorder.
Does someone who hasperformed on stage thou-sands of times still get nerv-ous?
“Always! But I need it.When I used to play volley-ball, I played much betterwith nerves. It’s the samewith performing,” she says,probably with an adorableglint in her eyes.
Sometimes the stagelights blind her from the au-
dience, which she admits is“difficult”.
“It’s very nice when yousee the people and their re-actions. Otherwise it’s likesinging in a studio. But youfeel the audience. That’s al-so very exciting.”
Her favourite song is “Letthe children have a world”which she apparently al-ways delivers from the bot-tom of her heart.
“I’d like to sing it all overthe world. It’s a beautifulmessage and I think wehave to stay a little bit likea child. If we think like achild and feel like a childthen we know what the songis all about. Children will al-ways be our future.” Herdaughter is now 12 yearsold, and motherhood andstardom is a delicate jug-gling act.
“She has her own thing.Mom’s music is like... youknow. She loves dancing!”
Much like her daughter,Winner also likes to prac-tise inprivate and, yes, evenin the shower.
As for words of wisdom,Winner has plenty. “I al-ways say that one should al-ways dream. Sometimesthey do come true. If youworkhardenough, thenyoucan achieve anything, buttry to do it in a fair way.”
Thank you Dana! I willkeep on dreaming.
There can be only one Winner

Gate crushes girlTERESA FISCHER
Anine-year-old girl died after a gate atSteen Villas housing complex top-
pled over, killing her instantly.
The incident happened at 17:20 on Wednes-day 26 October when Chelsea Davidson (9),was returning from the shop at the HenleyRoad entrance.
“The massive gate fell on her and crushedher skull,” says Trevor Trout, chairperson ofthe ACDP ward 68 branch.
This has led to questions about qualitystandards at the 450-unit complex, which isa collaboration between the Provincial De-partment of Local Government and Housing,the City of Cape Town and SOCHO, (SocialHousing Company) a government-appointednon-profit company.
According to reports in a daily tabloid, itis not the first time the gate has fallen overand the matter has repeatedly been broughtto the attention of complex management.
Concerns about financial administrationand maintenance of the development have al-so been raised previously, with SOCHO atthe heart of the complaints. (“Concessionsfor Steen Villa,” People’s Post, 3 May 2011).
SOHCO did not respond to questions as towhether it was aware that the gate had previ-ously come off its rollers.
However, they did express “deep regret atthe accidental death” of the young girl.
SOHCO’s media statement adds: “Asidefrom its own exhaustive investigation intothe incident, SOHCO is co-operating with au-thorities in their official investigation.”
SOHCO’S chief executive officer, HeatherMaxwell, says: “We offered to assist her fami-ly with professional grief counselling. Ourprayers and thoughts are with them at thisextremely difficult time.”
She adds: “We pride ourselves on provid-ing good quality, affordable and safe hous-ing, so our priority is to find out how thishappened and ensure it never happensagain.”
Trout said on Friday that the gate, whichwas recently installed, had since been re-erected.
“The gate is back on, and no adequate re-medial work has been done. It is commonsense that that gate needs a stopper,” he says.
“I spoke to the parents this morning; theydon’t have money for a funeral,” says Trout,who is also questioning SOHCO’s plans foran additional 200 units at the site, when hesays only 450 were agreed to.
Johan Potgieter of Tandem Security Sys-tems, which installs automated gates as part
of its services, says in South Africa there is“no regulation whatsoever” stipulating safe-ty for automated gates.
Potgieter says, “Anybody with a weldingmachine can start such a business.”
He adds that a lack of knowledge and work-manship can lead to accidents.
He says a stopper should be installed tostop the gate falling off its hinges, and itneeds a mechanism should to hold the gatein place – as sometimes force can cause thegate to jump over the stopper.
He adds, however, that from July next yearregulations related to the installation of elec-tric fencing are expected and that regula-tions pertaining to automated gates mightfollow.
In the European Union, automated gatesafety is strictly specified.
Llewellyn Jordaan, community develop-ment manager at the New World Foundationsays that what happened was “really tragicand sad,” and he wants to extend his sincerecondolences to the family.
He adds that the standards of service mustbe looked at and he welcomes SOHCO’s un-dertaking to investigate the cause of the trag-edy.
“An accident of such a nature should alertattention to the issues. Authorities shouldnot wait until a tragedy has happened; theyshould learn from their mistakes.
The safety of children should be a high pri-ority,” adds Jordaan.
Muizenberg Police spokesperson CaptainStephen Knapp confirms that police haveopened an inquest docket, and he could notspeculate on the cause of the accident.
Knapp adds that he was shocked thatadults at the scene allowed their children toremain present while police photographerstook pictures of the scene.
“I tried to remove some of the children,”he says.
Counselling support has been arranged forthe girl’s family says Knapp.

One-way ticket to exhilarationOne-way ticket to exhilarationANDRE BAKKES
THE “expressive, creative in-stigator” Glenda Jones went
all out in her eagerly anticipateddance production, Diary of aDancer.
It is unimaginable that this exu-berant woman will ever pass up theopportunity to go all out.
Ample evidence of this can beseen in her must-see show on 16 De-cember at CTICC, where the per-formers will use their finely tunedskills to ignite the stage with Afri-can jazz, hip hop, contemporary,cabaret, kwaito, salsa, krumping,ballet funk, freestyle and originaldance concepts.
The third Afrika Ablaze produc-tion of the year is also the most per-sonal for Jones, since she based iton her own life, and on how dancetransformed her.
“Through dancing you igniteyour creativity,” she says.
“It is the most physical and mostpersonal of all the arts. Soon thereis no separation between the mind,body and soul.”
Jones teaches mostly disadvan-taged children to overcome stigma,prejudice and labels and to findthemselves through the naturalrhythm that engulfs everyone.
Afrika Ablaze is, however, opento anyone.
She also lectures a first-yearsport science group at the Universi-ty of the Western Cape, where she“teaches rugby players to dance.”
In short, she helps people ridthemselves of the perception thatthey can’t dance. “I get into theirheads and open up their minds and
souls,” she says.“People tend to rob themselves of
a very creative life. Anyone canbenefit from dancing!”
Diary of a Dancer is a story that willresonate with all audiences. Itdelves into the heart and mind of ayoung boy who, because of his cir-cumstances, goes underground tobury his dreams until he can nolonger live with the lie.
“We usually have one major per-formance a year, but due to theenormous growth and demand, wewill have three this year,” says
Jones. The protagonist of the show(portrayed by Jesrael Jacobs) grewup in a harsh environment andfound his salvation in dance.
An eventful foray into the worldmakes him think twice about whatis really important in life.
Jones has collected nuggets ofwisdom in her ongoing adventure.“What makes a dancer brilliant? Isit the sacrifices a person makes? Isit their sweat, strife, pain or hardwork? Are there short cuts?”
She lets the questions sink in be-fore she answers: “Dancing is hard
work! And only fear separates thegreat fromtheaveragedancers.Thefear of not being good enough. Thefear of failure.”
Jacobs, whom Jones describes ashaving been blessed with the gift of“dancing on water,” plays a charac-ter that grows up in abject poverty,but then discovers the meaning ofhis life when he finds two balletshoes in a garbage bin.
“In a moment he makes the con-nection and becomes overwhelmed!That’s where he would like to be,”she says. Swan Lake will be playing
in the background and in that mo-ment the character “feels and tastesthe music.”
His friends torment the characterbecause of his dream, which hurlshim into his darkest moment.
Diary of a Dancer promises to topany of her previous work and sheis confident that her cast of 60 ex-ceptionally talented dancers areonce again ready towowCapeTownwith their exuberance, versatility,passion and skill.

Minstrel battle marches onTAURIQ HASSEN
MINSTREL leaders re-main “optimistic” about
the end-of-year celebrations,with the battle between City ofCape Town officials, provin-cial government and minstrelorganisations still raging.
People’sPost covered the startof negotiations “Minstrels workit out with City (11 October 2011)”when retired ConstitutionalCourt judge Kate O’Reagan wasappointed to lead negotiationsbetween the parties as an inde-pendent mediator.
The negotiations dealt mainlywith the return of the annualCape Minstrel Carnival, whichwends itsway through thehistor-ic Bo-Kaap, as well as permissionto hold the event on the secondday of January from 2012 on-wards.
Kevin Momberg, Chief Execu-tive Officer for the Cape TownMinstrel Carnival Association,remained positive about the out-come of the court proceedings.
“We are optimistic that theCity of Cape Town will comearound and support this event,but discussions will continueand we are working hard at
bringing back what rightfullyshould be taking place,” saysMomberg.
He says that discussions are“far from over” but had receiveddisturbing news that funds werenot available for the event.
However, the association wasthen informed that funds wouldbe conjured from other depart-ments andMomberg said: “Thosewere just officials making thosedecisions. Nothing has been con-firmed at this stage, so we are notconcerned at the moment andwill await positive feedback fromthe court proceedings.”
Solly Malatsi, spokespersonfor the Executive Mayor of CapeTown, Patricia De Lille, re-mained adamant that the Mayorwas “firmly committed to mak-ing the Cape Minstrel AnnualCarnival an event that all peopleof Cape Town can be proud of.”
“She is particularly committedto building an inclusive City inwhich we celebrate the diversecultures that exist throughoutthe City,” says Malatsi.
He also confirmed that the Cityof Cape Town kick-started themediation process by commit-ting to host the Cape MinstrelsAnnual Carnival on its originaldate (2 January) whilst also al-
lowing the minstreltroupes to passthrough the historicroute in Bo-Kaap.
“It is in this context
that the City identified the needfor thorough advance prepara-tion to pave the way for a success-ful celebration,” says Malatsi.
According to Malatsi, the Cityof Cape Town also offered to pro-vide R3,5 million worth of “logis-tical and support services,”which includes traffic control, to
ensure that the event is properlymanaged in the best interests ofthe Minstrels and the City ofCape Town.
Recently the issue of addition-al funding for events after the‘Tweede Nuwe Jaar’ celebrationswas brought to light.
“If such funding is to be grant-
ed, it will only be done in the in-terest of genuinely celebratingthe City’s cultural diversity andwe hope that all parties will con-tinue to negotiate in good faith,”Malatsi concluded.
The mediation process is setresume on Tuesday 8 November2011.

Design destinyTHE MOTHER CITY has been awarded thetitle of the world’s Design Capital for 2014.Perhaps fittingly so, as this will be the yearwe celebrate two decades of democracy.
The win confirms that our beloved“Slaapstad” is boldly taking the globalstage, to become a major world player anddrawcard in the potentially lucrative tour-ism industry.
In 1994 tourism’s contribution to SA’seconomy was reported as no more than 2%of Gross Domestic Product.
However, with awards such as this andothers filling up our trophy cabinet, tour-ism is fast becoming one of the top earnersof foreign currency.
In the midst of a global recession, we havesomething tobrightenour spirits: theprom-ise of greater investment and, we hope, abetter life for all.
These awards translate into tangible ben-efits for everyone.
Every small business that stays open fora little while longer, means that the cashier,the cleaner, the janitor have jobs for a littlelonger, and able to support their families:a little foreign spend goes a long way.
Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille hascommitted herself to work harder to use de-sign as a tool to clean the remnants of apart-heid and bring communities togetheracross the “geographical divide” throughimproved, innovative design.
The award means that future generationsof Capetonians will grow up in a city verydifferent to what most of us have known.
They will benefit from maximum expo-sure to other cultures as more flock to ourshores. As the winds of change continue tosweep through, Cape Town is fast becominga city of the world.
Hold on to your hats! Today it is good tobe Capetonian.
Transparency around BEE procurementI AM unsure which subject to ad-dress in my writing, so I’ll tacklethe transparency around BEE pro-curement.
I realise the lack of investigationinto black business fronting whenapplying for BEE certification.
Our application to be BEE certi-fied was done electronically, via anaccredited agent’s website.
Contrary to the agent’s online in-dication of a site inspection, uponreceipt of our requested subscrip-tion, the certificate was issuedwithout enquiry into our businessand its members.
My concern with this is this asfollows:
In terms of government procure-ment policy to ensure black eco-nomic empowerment and affirma-tive action, how does a certificate(issued without inspection of fact)guarantee this?
It is for this reason that I have res-
ervations about the successful im-plementation of this policy.
I’ve addressed it in writing before(with DTI), and no response hasbeen forthcoming.
In our industry (Civil Engineer-ing with the Department of Roads/Transport) the previously advan-taged are still the majority stake-holders. It is evident when travel-ling in rural areas, that these samebusinesses are still the primarycontractors.
BEE is integral to the ethos of re-distribution of wealth, and I believethat broad-based BEE participationis important to the future. Howev-er, the injustices of the past will notbe corrected while we have white-owned businesses (regardless of in-dustry) being awarded major con-tracts, through business fronting.
Previous prejudice prevails andwithout proper policing of the sys-tem, we will not confound this ene-
my. My suggestion is for govern-ment to become pro-active in imple-menting transparency andensuring compliance with stipulat-ed regulation. If they lack the re-sources to do so, I strongly recom-mend a project called BEEInfoS-TRIP™, which I’ve encountered viaFacebook (www.facebook.com/BEEInfoSTRIPSouthAfrica), tomanage this venture.
The vehicle this organisation us-es to manage the system, is legiti-mate and inexpensive, yet seeming-ly highly effective.
Alternatively, they (govern-ment), should be quiet about the en-tire BEE procurement policy andcontinue ignoring us, the smallblack enterprise, who is crippled bymajor companies who benefitedfrom past injustices, where blackfronting is rife.TINA THOMASKenwyn

WHILE demographers are unsure exact-ly when the world’s population will reachthe seven billion mark – or whether thismight even have already happened - the
United Nations Population Fund official-ly chose Monday this week to symbolical-ly mark the day.
As a result, many parents have claimed
that their new-born baby is, indeed, the 7-bil-lionth human on planet Earth.
Sadly, no-one will ever know who finallytipped the scale.
Tuesday 1 November 2011 LETTERS People’s Post ConstantiaWynberg Page 11
Observation key deterrentTHE Constantia/Wynberg edition of Peo-ple’s Post on 25 October carried a photoof volunteer residents fixing posters inthe BKM Neighbourhood Watch area toalert residents to the drive for funds toerect and install Licence Recognition andOverview cameras.
Unfortunately, the photo caption con-veyed the impression the cameras wouldbe erected in Bergvliet, Meadowridge andKreupelbosch only.
These are certainly the zones where theBKM Neighbourhood Watch originated,hence the letters BKM.
Today, however, the BKM Neighbour-hood Watch covers much of the Constan-tia Valley, stretching from Doordrift toDreyersdal, Diepriver to Kreupelbosch,
and Bergvliet to Morningstar.Our Camera Project is aimed at cover-
ing as many of the entry and exit routesto the entire BKM area as funds would al-low.
We aim to mesh our cameras with thosein adjacent areas such as Nova Constan-tia, Constantia and others to form a crimedeterrent over a wider area.
Contributions from residents and busi-nesses are vital and a one-off contributionof R250 per household is suggested as aminimum. Contributions are possible byEFT, cheque, credit card, or cash. Formore information phone the BKM officeon (021) 715 5557.DENZIL BURGERA BKM Patroller
What is this census all about?WITH reference to my first letter to People’sPost on 11 October, comments by the ChiefEnumerator of the 2011 Census this morningon SABC TV news cannot go unchallenged.
Not only did this census official repeat thethreat of imprisonment and fines, he alsoplayed, what could be considered, the racecard.
He said words to the effect that questionsabout the content of the census were mostlyasked by rich people, implying white peoplewere rich versus the black people who are notrich.
That was bad enough. But it got worse whenhe answered questions by the SABC TV pre-senters about questions like “Do you have awashing machine, a fridge, a TV...”
People wondered what this had to do withestablishing how many people lived in ourcountry.
The gentleman’s answer was astonishing.
He suggested that those questions should beasked of the marketing companies, who need-ed that kind of information for their brandsand promotional strategies.
What?Is the census a means of market research?And if so, what has the government got to
do with this?Worse, how can we be threatened with im-
prisonment if we do not disclose the contentsand amenities in our homes?
We would not present this information ona platter to home-invaders, gangs, theft andbreak-in syndicates and con-artists.
Has Census 2011 gone totally of its rocker?Cases of impostors have already been re-
ported, as well as census takers without iden-tification.
The whole thing seems to be bungling to thetenth degree.JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
Yesterday, today and tomorrowMY brother and I were discussing and com-paring today’s prices and quality againstyesterday’s.
Our late grandfather always predicted thatyou will one day have a pocket full of moneyand not be able to buy anything.
I can remember in 1961 when we becamea republic and converted to rands and cents,our rand was equivalent to one britishpound. Oros was 100 percent pure juice, asweetie pie cost a tickey and the cream (andit was cream) used to melt in your mouth.Sweets cost four for a penny/cent.
Chicken was 45 cents a kilogram.
I went to work and earned R8 a week, outof wich my mother bought groceries for theweek and could still afford to give me bio-scope money.
How things have changed: the world’seconomy is in a mess and I do not wish tomention climate change and others. I fear formy children and grandchildren in the yearsahead.
Imagine what a loaf of bread will cost 10years from now! I don’t think I will bearound to witness that.PATRICK ABRAHAMSLansdowne

Hear it for the first timeSIMON’S TOWN resident, Steven van derMerwe will conduct the premiere perform-ance of his composition Eleven – a Requiem fora Parent on 11 November at St George’s Cathe-dral in Cape Town at 19:00.
Eleven is a composition for soprano and ten-or soloists, choir and orchestra. Janelle Vis-agie (soprano) and Nick de Jager (tenor) willbe accompanied by the Pro Musica Divina Or-chestra and 30 freelance Cape Town profes-sionals. The choirs are the St George’s Sing-ers, directed by Dr Barry Smith, and the UCTChoir, directed by John Woodland.
“My father’s death on 11 November 2009 (atalmost 11.00), was the catalyst that moved meto start working on a Requiem.” says Van derMerwe. “The day after my father’s death a pa-tient of mine offered his condolences andhanded me a poppy with a poem about Armi-stice Day: the day the First World War ended– on 11 November 1918 at 11.00. The signifi-cance of this date and time inspired me andbecame a theme of the requiem.”
Van der Merwe is a student at NMMU underthe mentorship of Dr Peter-Louis van Dijk,well-known South African and internationalcomposer and conductor. Eleven forms part ofSteven’s portfolio towards his M.Mus (compo-sition) degree.
Steven has invited local artist and interna-tional exhibitor Ryno Swart to create an art-
work that depicts aspects of his compositionon canvas. This painting will feature on post-ers and on the program. The completed workwill be on sale after the premiere performanceof Eleven.

Deconstructing artANDRE BAKKES
“ART requires philosophy, just asphilosophy requires art. Other-wise, what would become of beau-ty?”
This quote by French Post-Impres-sionist artist Paul Gauguin perfectlysums up an interview with profes-sional artists Gavin Collins, ShereeHarrison and Annette Kieser.
It is a curious coincidence thatGauguin was a post-impressionistand that the three artists left such animpression.
Collins, Harrison and Kieser willbe exhibiting their works at theGavin Collins Gallery and Framingin West Lake from 4 to 11 November.
Collins has been painting for 28years, Harrison “for a long time” andKieser for about 40 years, so they areauthoritatively opinionated.
All three are, however, completelydifferent in their styles and subjectmatter.
Collins, who is defined as an art-ists by his street scenes, says he pret-ty much paints what sells, with spe-cial emphasis on the “right move-ment and correctness.”
Harrison, who is originally fromEastern Cape, reveals that she iscompletely in love with her favouritesubjects: cows, cattle and land-scapes.
Kieser has recently gone “prettyabstract” and she says that she lovescolour, form and texture.
And so, the underpaint has beenapplied to a blank canvass and thenevery layer becomes more and morecomplex.
Says Collins, “Knowing how tomake money from art is probablymore important than knowing howto paint. If you want to be a financial-ly successful artist you should ratherstudy marketing. There is no suchthing as just becoming an artist andmaking money.”
Kieser and Harrison agree that tal-
ent is simply not enough.This journalist attempts to sound
like he knows what he’s talkingabout when he muses “It’s not neces-sarily about the quality, but thename.”
The others uniformly frown andshake their heads.
“It’s about finding a unique prod-uct,” reasons Harrison.
“You have wild life artists who aredoing brilliantly, and contemporaryartists who do well, so there are dif-ferent markets.”
Collins tries to clarify things:“Let’s compare painting to music.When you hear a good song, it mustbe done well.
“The principle issues and tech-niques must be correct for it to ap-peal to your sense of balance. Thebottom line is that you can’t sell badart. You can also not sell a qualitypainting painted on a bad canvas.Everything must be just right.”
The man who has sold more than10 000 paintings says it isn’t justabout buying a brush and then de-scribing oneself as an artist. “Youmust know what you’re doing.”
The phrase “can of worms” doesn’tbelong in an article about beauty andperfection, but it wasn’t a tube ofacrylic gel that was opened whenthis journalist asked whether art isabout the artist redefining bounda-ries, or whether they give the viewerwhat they want.
Collins terms himself a commer-cial artist, but Kieser says emphati-cally: “I used to consider the viewerand found my niche, but then I decid-ed that, at this point of my life, I wantto paint for me.”
Harrison also likes to push backthe boundaries, because she “neverdepended on art to make a living.”
“That frees me up to experimentwith subjects. I’ve tried to do thecommercial thing and for me itdoesn’t work,” she adds.
Collins emphasises, “One must un-derstand what commercial means. It
is your own style and branding - donewell. Take Picasso, he actually paint-ed better than Renoir before he start-ed his abstracts.
“If he painted a drop of water thenit looked better than the drop of wa-ter God made. It’s unbelievable. Onlythen did he decide to ‘paint like a twoyear old’.”
The “final” layer of this interviewled to some serious philosophical de-bate, as Collins continues “You mustbe technically good to paint. VanGogh wasn’t technically goodenough. He never mastered paint.Rembrandt mastered paint. As didTretchikoff. When it’s right, it’sright.”
For the next ten minutes Collinsand Harrison debated the very na-ture of being an artist.
Harrison argues, “I agree with youto a certain extent, but don’t youthink there are different genres ofart? Someone who is an abstract art-
ist doesn’t necessarilyneed tobeableto draw classically.”
He draws a parallel between artand ballet, Harrison counters thepoint by referring to different kindsof music and even African dancing.
Collins even goes as far as to say“If you take toilet paper and throwit against a canvas, then you mustthrow it in the right place for it tolook good.”
In the end it seems as if they havereached an accord, but this itself isopen to debate.
So, what does it take to be a trueartist?
Collins says “time,” Kieser says“integrity” and Harrison says “au-thenticity.”
Party-pooper Pablo Picasso said,“Everyone wants to understandpainting. Why is there no attempt tounderstand the song of the birds?”

EVER walked out of the housethinking you are rocking the lat-est fashion? Not knowing whatthose strange glances mean?
Fashion is fickle and the oldschool 80s nerd look is not alwaysthe new 2011 hipster. In the world offashion two minds are better thanone, especially when the other isyour sister.
Fashion is big business, even inthe cyber world. Fashion blogs arefast becoming the breeding groundfor the new super stylish, with somebloggers even reaching super starstatus.
And who better to have your backin the cut throat fashion industrythan your own sister. What startedout as a means to keep in touch andup to date with cute purchases hasended up in a unique and vibrantfashion exchange, open to the world.
The tale of two sisters- one in PortElizabeth and the other in CapeTown- and their wardrobes havesparked a unique and quirky newblog.
For those who don’t know a blogis basically on online version of a di-ary, that everybody can read. Andtoday there are well over 126 millionblogs, according to blog Pulse in2009, with an estimated number of1,6 million new postings per day.
Marianna Boguslavsky, the Capetown sister, says that in just over ayear their blog has acquired over
1500 loyal followers. Content isbased on their personal styles andbig plans are in the pipeline for theirblog. “The online fashion scene isbooming. We are a bit behind the USand UK, but we will soon see asurge,” says Marianna, who alsoruns her own online marketing con-sultantcy.
The Port Elizabeth-based sister,Alla, travels to Cape Town at leastonce a month, partly for businessand partly for the fashion. Last weekshe spent eight hours in Canal Walk,much to the bemusement of oldersister Marianna. “Cape Town has amuch more vibrant fashion scenewith little boutiques and interestingshops,” says Alla, flaunting her cutenew floral high heels she had pickedup during her eight-hour shoppingspree.
In a year of business these twogreat minds have never quarrelledor bickered about a “fashion mis-hap” and they love each other’sstyles. And for those who want tostart their own blog, whether it isfashion, plumbing or just personalthoughts, Marianna has some goodadvice. “Initially only your motherwill read it, but if you persist and dosome PR work you will eventuallyget there.”
But at the end of the day, fashionis all about your own unique style,as Marianna puts it, and to wearwhat makes you feel good.

World Championshipon your doorstepLYNN PRINS
THIS seems to be the yearof the World Cups, start-
ing with the cricket and fol-lowed by rugby.
And now, in a mere 35 days,six softball teams will arrive forthe ninth Junior Women’sWorld Championship (JWWC).
I can proudly say we do unitewhen it comes to backing our SAteams.
It’s amazing how hosting the2010 Soccer World Cup has givenus a supportive attitude. Thesuccess of that world event willbe the talk of the town for manyyears to come.
However, it is about morethan just support for the teams,but support for and belief in ourcountry’ ability to host a suc-cessful event.
Well, this major event de-serves nothing less and I’ll haveyou know that the softball teamSA is still hard at work. They’remaking the most of this shot atbeing the best they can be,whether at hosting or compet-ing.
Because I would like readersto share my love of this beautifulgame of softball, I would like togive the background and historyof the tournament and then intro-duce the winning teams.
The first International SoftballFederation hosted the JWWC in1981 in Canada, exposing young
talent to top competition, whileintroducing the game to many.
Japan were crowned champsthat year, and China in ’85. TheUSA took the crown in ’87 and Ja-pan took in back in ’91. In ’95 theAmericans took the title again,
while Japan did so again ’99 and’03. In ’07 the title reverted to theUSA.
With that being said, the USA,Japan, China, and Australia allreceived medals in previousWorld Series.
Australia is the only team notto have taken gold yet. In 2007,in the Netherlands, South Africaparticipated for the first timeand finished 15th.
So now we all know who thetough contenders are and it’spossible that the teams men-tioned will see a final.
Perhaps the SA team will sur-prise us all and make the finals,who knows, even winning thetournament perhaps?
They have home ground ad-vantage after all.
With the SA team ranked 12ththey will need all our support.
The tournament takes placefromWednesday7Decemberun-til Saturday 17 December atTurfhall Stadium, in Crawford,Athlone.
Participating teams are Ar-gentina ranked 7th, Australiaranked 3rd, USA ranked 1st, Ja-pan ranked 2nd, Canada ranked4th, Puerto Rico ranked 5th, Chi-nese Taipei ranked 6th, China
ranked 8th, New Zealand ranked9th, Russia ranked 13th, Germa-ny ranked 14th, SA ranked 12th,Botswana ranked 15th Brazilranked 14th, Zimbabwe ranked15th and Czech Republic ranked16th.

Developing tomorrow’sstarsLYNN PRINS
TWELVE years ago goalkeeping leg-end Farouk Abrahams had a burn-
ing passion to start a goalkeeper’s acade-my.
His aim was to produce only great goal-keepers. He feels the position is neglectedand, speaking as a former goalkeeper him-self, he thinks specialised training is need-ed. However, there is a lack of sponsorship.
“All we want to do is provide hope for thefuture,” he said.
In 2002 Abrahams was appointed goal-keeper coach for Bafana Bafana at the Soc-cer World Cup in Korea and Japan, andworked with the likes of Andre Arendse,Hans Vonk, and Calvin Marlin.
“It was my greatest honour to representmy country, it didn’t matter that I didn’tplay on those levels, but the fact that I waspart of coaching World Cup goalkeepers,was a huge achievement and money can cer-tainly not buy such glory,” he said.
When asked who he regards as highly rat-ed, he said: “Itumeleng Khune is a highlyrated player.
It’s just a pity that he had faked an injuryagainst Sierra Leone.
It just showed bad character. Nonethe-less, he is good.”
He believes Moeneeb Josephs is also ahighly rated player.
Abrahams played for Cape Town Spurs,Maritzburg United, Jomo Cosmos, andBush Bucks. He coached for Santos, AjaxCape Town, and Hellenic.
Farouk Abrahams Goalkeeper Academy(FAGA) has been sponsored for eight yearsby Metropolitan, but since they mergedwith Momentum, Abrahams is unsurewhether the sponsorship will continue.
The academy coaches about 80-100 chil-dren, without any disappointments, from 7to 25 years old.
The academy also teachess life skills.“On many fronts, and it became clear to
us that the needs of the young people in the
Academy extend beyond merely that of ac-quiring goalkeeping skills.
Those living in disadvantaged communi-ties are particularly vulnerable, as they livein poverty and must often survive harshand difficult experiences in their younglives,” he said.
“Many of the boys and girls attend thetraining sessions hungry, and lack simplelife skills.”
FAGA is free and is based at the corner
of Wynberg Sports Club, Rosmead Avenue.Abrahams feels that the 2010 World Cup leg-acy is not benefitting academies such as his.They still struggle with funding and he ap-peals to corporates for help with sponsor-ship for sustainability.
“Danny Jordaan and I spoke over theweekend, and I was told that in the new yearrelevant World Cup funds will be madeavailable, but criteria will apply and it willprobably be region-bound.
