Cheers whenwhales are freedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the winter brings an increased numberof whales to our waters, the chances in-crease that the giants become entangled inropes, nets and lobster traps.

Such cases are rising, says South AfricanWhale Disentanglement Network (SAWDN)head Mike Meyers.

On average, 15 to 17 cases of whale entan-glement are reported every year. However,this number is increasing yearly as the pop-ulation increases, he says.

This year has seen eight cases already,with the whale season still only beginning.It is expected to peak in September.

Ten years ago, a huge number of entangle-ments were reported, prompting the depart-

ment of environmental affairs to approachthe lobster industry to fund training froman American whale disentanglement spe-cialist.

The Network includes a variety of part-ners, including the Dolphin Protection Ac-tion Group, National Sea Rescue Institute(NSRI), Natal Sharks Board, researchersand whale watchers, Meyers says. It has 17centres along the South African coastline.

Every year, a new group is trained andmore equipment is manufactured. It costsabout R25 000 to set up a new team.

The Network, which is now the fourthlargest in the world, is also affiliated to theInternational Whaling Commission andshares information and best practice tech-niques with organisations from othercountries.

Report itThe public should report any sighting of

an entangled whale immediately, saysMeyer. There have been reports of peoplebeing killed by whales in the past, he ex-plains, which is why the general publicshould never attempt to free a whale them-selves.

The Network will immediately dispatcha boat to locate the animal and monitor it.The disentanglement team will then fol-low, using an appropriate knife to cut offwhatever rope or net the whale is caughtin.

The Network has a 100% success rate indisentangling whales trapped on the seabottom. However, whales entangled butable to break free are difficult to follow, andan entangled whale can face a very slowdeath, with it taking up to nine months forthe caught whale to die.

Dangerous workDisentangling thewhale canbe very dan-

gerous, Meyer explains.While humpback whales easily tire and

will stop thrashing about, southern rightwhales tend to kick their tails sidewaysand this can seriously injure a volunteer.

Safety is very important and the volun-teers never enter the water, Meyer says.Only the best equipment is used and all vol-unteers are trained.

An entangled whale will spin around inthe water to attempt to free itself, Meyerexplains. This usually pushes the rope to-wards the whale’s tail, which the whalewill kick. This action can be very danger-ous to crew trying to help the whale, hesays.

“It’s a very scary thing the first time youassist a whale. Many volunteers go outwith their heart in their throats,” he says.

But this is all worth it, as freeing a whaleis a very emotional experience.

“We’re all geared towards getting thatpiece of rope off. At the same time, we’revery close to a large animal, and they oftencry in fear. Sometimes they don’t even real-ised that they’re free and we need to givethem a touch before they take off like a bul-let,” he says. “At that stage, although we’vebeen as quiet as possible the whole time,the entire team will cheer.”V Report entangled whales to the Dolphin ActionProtection Group on 021 782 5845 or to the NSRI on021 434 4011.V For more information or to get involved, contactMike Meyer on 082 578 7617.

‘Worthless’tablets raidedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Anew technology rolled out in ambulan-ces across the city is making emergen-

cy medics a target for crime.This as three sources in the industry,

who do not want to be identified as theyare not contractually permitted to speakto the media, claim that robberies and at-tacks have spiked over the last fewmonths, especially in areas such as Mitch-ell’s Plain, Manenberg, Hanover Park andKhayelitsha.

They believe the spike coincides withthe installation of tablet devices in ambu-lances, which link medics to the call cen-tre and provide directions to the emergen-cy.

Some medics who have been held uphave even been asked to hand over the“tablets”, sources say.

Useless outside ambulancesThe tablets, according to a source with

industry knowledge, have been installedin a way that makes them “impossible toremove” from the ambulances.

The tablets are also locked and will onlywork on the health department’s system,and are useless for any other user.

The installation of the devices, referredto as MDTs, cost about R300m, the sourcesays.

Medicshave reportedly raised their con-

cerns with management, but have re-ceived no reaction.

They are now calling for immediate ac-tion to be taken, to inform the communitythat the devices are not removable and arenot useable outside the ambulance.

Sources say the device, which is mount-ed above the dashboard, is clearly visibleat night.

The system also updates continuously,and can be heard beeping from outside theambulance.

They say in some areas, medics evenchoose to use ambulances in which the de-vices have not yet been installed or switchit off.

They say no education has taken placein communties to inform the general pub-lic of the function of the MDT devices.

Added pressureThe increase in attacks has left medics

fearful, a source confirms, with many al-ready expected to attend to patients in are-as they feel are unsafe or where gang vio-lence is prevalent.

“Wealreadyhave the pressure of havingto respond to as many calls as possible. It’snow becoming just a job and we are losingour passion,” he says.

The department of health refused to con-firm the existance of theMDTdevices, say-ing to do so could make ambulances moreof a target.

They declined to comment further.

Models know a DIY or twoA small company based in Crawford has

taken the initiative to give young girlsfrom the Western Cape an opportunity tolearn new skills as well as become morerounded individuals.

Topdeck Waterproofing and Restorationhas partnered with Snapshot Model Discov-ery and Northlink College to create (or rec-reate) a model search reality show based onTyra Banks’s America’s next top model, inwhich aspirant young models live togetherand compete to become a professional mod-el. “The opportunity was a collaboration be-tween Topdeck, Quicktints and NorthlinkCollege, which hosted the team building andtraining exercise at their Belhar campus,”says Topdeck’s Verline Leo.

The entire competition took place and was

filmed during the school holiday to not im-pact on the girls’ curricular activities.

Thirty girls initially entered the competi-tion house, eventually being whittled downto four finalists. The competition is expectedto premiere on CTV over the weekend of 2to 4 October and will run for 10 weeks, culmi-nating in the winner announcement.

Leo says it was a boon for Topdeck and itsconstruction affiliates to be part of this ad-venture.

“Being part of the construction industry,Topdeck thought it a great idea to teach theGrade 11 models representing schools acrossthe Western Cape skills which they coulduse in later life,” Leo continues.

“This was achieved by the models whowere guided through the scope of works,

which included using sandpaper, primingand decoration to create a personalised pho-to frame depicting their transformationfrom pupil to empowered youth ambassa-dor.”

Northlink’s Belhar campus was trans-formed into a filming and photoshoot set forthe television show, depicting constructionindustry-related sectors, including paint-ing, bricklaying, plastering and waterproof-ing.

This introduced the contestants to the rug-gedness of a construction site, mixed withthe fun factor, hard work and rewards.V For skills training workshops and programmes visitwww.topdeck.co.za or call 021 697 5924. Visitwww.northlink.co.za for the vocational training pro-grammes offered by Northlink College.

Fourteen of the 30 model contestants who recently went “under construction” to learn building skills as part of a reality TV competition.

“The children have not been able toplay outside for the last threemonths,” says Williams.

The CPF hopes to sound a signifi-cant message when they clean andpaint the boundary wall along theKlipfontein Road side of the hospitalwhite.

The wall is currently ridden withgang slogans and graffiti after theprevious paint job faded.

The painting of the wall will hope-fully signify that gang activity andvandalism in the area will not be tol-erated.

However, the work done during theMandela Day celebration does notstop this weekend.

“What we also discovered is thatthere is a greater need and have sinceembarked on a more consolidatedproject with the Sarah Fox Convales-cent Hospital,” adds Williams withreference to the fact that the hospitalcould not afford to have a gardeningservice, let alone a handy man, forthe last six months.

“Over the next six months, the var-ious neighbourhood watches will as-sist in the upkeep of the grounds, toi-lets, tiled flooring, roof tiles and fen-ces.”

They hope that the continued workwill not only provide a safer, cleanerenvironment for the children whoare there, but also serve as a beaconof trust within the community thatthe CPF is well and truly active andlooking after them.

giving out soup to residents of Tambo Vil-lage and Manenberg Avenue.The warm soup, made by the police them-

selves, wasmade available to everybody ona day which was particularly icy and wet.They then proceeded to visit the elderly

at the Oakhaven Cottages.“Our senior (citizens) are at times the for-

gotten part of the community,” said Lieu-tenant Ian Bennett, Manenberg policespokesperson.“Today (Friday) we committed ourselves

to serve them (the residents) with happi-ness and enjoyment through music anddance.”He went on to state that Rape Crisis held

a presentation to the elderly which theyhope will serve as an important message tothem that they will be supported throughgood times and difficult times.The residents were then treated to a mes-

sage from the department of health as wellas the day hospital about maintaining ahealthy lifestyle by looking after them-selves through cultivating a habit of goodhygiene.“Our senior citizens are precious to any

community. We would not be in existenceif itwas not for our seniors,” addedBennett.“It is important that we make them real-

ise that they still have purpose within thiscommunity and through their passion toserve they should not give up; they shouldstart living and reaping the benefits of agood life through active aging.”Bennett reiterated that the police is there

for the community at large.

Ward 57 councillor Brett Herron unveiled a new,artistically designed bicycle rack at the corner

of Durham Avenue and Cecil Road in Salt River onThursday last week.The artsy bicycle rack came about as part of Cape

Town’s world design capital year of projects andHerron organised the installation in Salt River aspart of his ward allocation. He says this follows nu-merous requests from cyclists in his ward to havea safe place to park their bicycles.

Not the usual typeThe project promotes public art as well as bicycle

culture. The cycle rack – the first of its kind in thearea – is not the usual U-shaped rack. Two other pla-ces have these public art racks installed, one atSearle Street and the other at Keizersgracht.The rack spells the word “bike” and can handle

eight to 10 bicycles at one time.Herron says this is a way to encourage people to

cycle instead of drive.“We want people to use bicycles as this will help

decrease the congestion on our roads. This was alsothe only sustainable way to reduce congestion onour roads.

Positive start“Through this initiative we are encouraging peo-

ple to cycle knowing that they have a safe place toleave their bicycles. I’m hoping that people will usethem a lot. I have noticed a lot of interest from cy-clists about the racks so it’s a positive start for

them,” he says.Nils Hansen, a cyclist, says the racks are a good

step in the right direction: “We have to start some-where. It has been well received and we are happythat there is a place to park our bicycles properly.It will improve as the years go by, but what makesus happy is that something is being done about cy-cling. We will get things right as we go.”DavidMalan, another cyclist, says they arehappy

about the initiative but the City always misses thespot.

“What they always get wrong is that cyclists lovetheir coffee. So they should try and put the rackscloser to a coffee shop, becausewhen I’mhavingmycoffee I want to see my bike. That is why most cy-clists end up locking their bicycles on the poles sothat they will be in full view. We know that it’s awork in progress and we appreciate that and hopeit will improve with time. It makes us happy,though, that we have a proper safe place to park ourbikes,” says Malan.Another installation of bicycle racks is planned.

When Fred Mentjies (66) from Riverside in Tokaiwas diagonised with prostate cancer three yearsagohe thought allwas lost.Hegavehimself oneyearto live.The father of two says when something like that

happens it takes everything away.“It’s such a huge knock. You try to deny it, ask

why it’s happening to you. You just literally startcounting the days you’re left with to live,” he says.He vividly remembers he came from the doctor

shaken about the news. Being a friend of Archbish-op Emeritus Desmond Tutu and drawing inspira-tion from him, he gave his friend a call and brokethe news to him. Tutu himself has had prostate can-cer. What Tutu told him got him thinking.“In his calm voice he told me to sit and feel sorry

for myself or to get up and go. He told me it wasn’ta death sentence and the doctors were good. Afterthose words I had a tremendous decision to make.To sit and feel sorry for myself or to actually dosomething,” he says.That’s when the idea of touring to help other peo-

ple with cancer came to mind. He decided to tourso that he could raisemoney to helpwhere it’s need-ed. Last year he and his wife Janey (62), who is alsoa cancer survivor, toured the Kruger National Parkthrough an initiative that they have called “Fredotouring for Cansa”. They stayed there for 40 days

and raised R32 000 to help people living with cancerand others who support people with cancer. Afterthat successful tour they thought to themselves thatit wouldn’t end there – it was just the beginning ofsomething big.Today, they are living for yet another 37 days in

Namibia, hoping to be back by the end of August.Their aim is to raise at least R100 000.“We are so excited about the whole tour. Most of

all we want to do it for other people. If it wasn’t forthe people who supported me I wouldn’t be here.When you have cancer, you need a warm bed,clothes, support, food as you take your medication,so we are hoping that we will raise this money andhelp those that are in need. There are others whoare less fortunate, so if they are diagnosedwith can-cer they lose hope. What we want to do now is tobring a new ray of hope to those people and givethem courage. To let them know that there are peo-ple who care out there and there is the support thatthey need,” he says.Fred’s wife says they are excited about the tour.“We are extremely busy as the days are counting

down as we are trying to put everything together.Since we are both cancer survivors, we thought weshould do something to help other people as well.We are putting things together and the mind is setfor the road.Wearedoing this so thatwehelppeoplewho might find themselves affected by cancer di-rectly or indirectly,” she says.Angela Rodi, a communitymobiliser for Cansa in

Mowbray, says all Cansa’s various departmentsneed funding, so they are glad that people are will-ing to help.“There are a lot of things that we do and we need

money to keep going. We are happy that somethinglike this is being done and we are seeing a lot ofpeople that are knocking at our doors asking howthey can help.We are really grateful.We are in needof every bit of help,” says Rodi.

Statice Heightswatcher diesEARL HAUPT

@EarlHaupt

TheStaticeHeights neighbourhoodwatchis still in mourning following the loss of

its former chairperson and stalwart Philo-ma José de Vos.DeVoswas laid to rest last weekend, with

those who patrolled the streets with her foryears, uniting in solidarity for their fallenleader.“Moya”, as shewas affectionately known,

was an ever-present Watch member afterforming part of the foundation of thewatch.Aziza Kannemeyer, Athlone Community

Police Forum (CPF) chairperson, fondly re-members De Vos’s unwavering commit-ment tomaking the streets of Athlone safer.“I met Moya and she was one of the first

people who initiated the need for a neigh-bourhood watch in Statice Heights.“She was very passionate about creating

a safe environment and even in this timewith the kids wanting to become affiliatedwith gangs and drugs, she never waveredfrom the need for the community to step upto the plate,” said Kannemeyer.Kannemeyer added that De Vos would of-

ten be found patrolling the streets until05:00, at times on every night of the week.“Despite the resolve of the framework

fracturing aroundher, her own resolve nev-

er weakened. She would go out every night,not just on weekends, and that dedicationneeds to be acknowledged.”Kannemeyer pointed out thatmembers of

the public who commit their time and ener-gy to keeping their communities safer donot get the recognition they deserve.“They (neighbourhood watch and CPF

members) are the people who the communi-ty rely on when the police and metro policeare not around. It is the neighbourhoodwatch and CPF who are called into actionand this often goes unnoticed.”Neighbourhood watch members held an

impromptu walk through the streets afterher funeral. At the funeral De Vos’s coffinwas draped in her neighbourhood watchjacket.The walk through the streets led to a bon-

fire in her honour, the first of its kind inthe area.The CPF and neighbourhood watches

hope that thiswill now become a regular ac-tivity to stoke interest in order for morecommunity members to join their cause.“The legacy that Moya leaves behind

should be for everyone (in the community)and not just the few who are out there. Itis a collective effort instead of having theMoyas of thisworld stepping up to the plate.The recognition of their efforts are seldomacknowledged,” concluded Kannemeyer.

Philoma de Vos’s coffin was draped in the jacket she wore when on patrol for the StaticeHeights neighbourhood watch.

Silver for local fencing teamTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

South African fencers speared some of themedals at the Commonwealth Fencing

Junior and Cadet championships that havecome to an end.Of the 15 countries competing at the Uni-

versity of Cape Town the past week SouthAf-rica came fourth. The first place went to En-gland.The championships were comprised of in-

dividual and team competitions.The u.20 team of South African foilists

(Robert McGregor from Constantia, Alexan-der Collings from Claremont, Faa’iq Gamiel-dien from Grassy Park and reserve Pasha

Tychler from Johannesburg) won a silvermedal in their team competition.McGregor, Collings and Gamieldien are

members of Fencing Western Cape.Patrick Collings, chairperson of Fencing

Western Cape, says they are very proud ofthe team and the good work that they put upas it wasn’t an easy competition.“We are so happy and very excited that we

managed to get themedals. It basically showsour position as a fencing country and we arehappy about it.“They are young but they are already do-

ing a very good job. We can’t even put ourexcitement intowords because the teamreal-ly worked hard and the results are showingwhat they did,” says Collings.

Province to have‘Madiba route’The provincial government wants to hon-

our the legacy of former president Nel-son Mandela by developing a tourism routewhich traces his journey in the province.Alan Winde, provincial minister of eco-

nomic opportunities, says it is part of a se-ries of heritage tourism proposals to boostthe province’s growth.The proposal comes from South African

Tourism’s mobile app, which is based on amap of Madiba-inspired tourism attrac-tions.“The map was launched last year to en-

courage local and international tourists towalk in the footsteps of Madiba. We hopethese initiatives will offer an authentic ex-perience to visitors, allowing them to expe-rienceapieceof theWesternCape’s rich cul-tural heritage,” he says.The proposal is to develop signage for the

Madiba route, which will highlight cultur-ally significant sites in the province, Windeexplains.“It is our goal to develop clear signage for

theMadiba route so tourists are able to easi-ly navigate to the different sites. We willwork with local and national tourism au-thorities to market the route. At this stagethis is a proposal, and we will engage therelevant stakeholders. Collaboration withkey roleplayers is key to ensure theproject’s success,” he says.The proposed Mandela journey will be

made up of Robben Island, Pollsmoor pris-on, Drakenstein correctional services, CityHall and Parliament.The proposal will be included in the ac-

tion plan aimed at growing the tourism in-dustry. It will be submitted for approvalnext month.“We can increase the economic contribu-

tion of the tourism sector by up to R28bnfromR17bn. It could addup to 100 000 formaljobs. Currently, 204 000 residents are for-mally employed in the tourism sector. Toachieve these goals, the private and publicsector have to collaborate and jointly investin a set of focused, specific projects.”

One of the oldest museums in the South-ern hemisphere is receiving a multimil-lion rand upgrade.The Iziko South African Museum,

which was opened in 1879, has receivedfunding from the provincial departmentof arts and culture to create a bigger mu-seum.The renovation and upgrade of themu-

seum will facilitate greater access to thecollections and enable Iziko to work to-wards becoming a world-class museum,explains museum CEO Rooksana Omar.

Six storeys“The courtyard project consists of the

construction of six storeys within thecourtyard of the existing research build-ing, adjacent to the UCT campus. Whencompleted, this building will house theresearch collections, offices and labora-tories, as well as give unique behind-the-scenes access to the public to view collec-tions in storage, scientists and technicalstaff working on fossils and other speci-mens,” she says.The project aims to increase the stor-

age space for the growingnatural historyand social history collections, improvevisitor access to the research and collec-tions with the aim of increasing public

awareness and provide additional officeand exhibition spaces for Iziko muse-ums.The renovations are expected to be

complete late next year.A report by the Central City Improve-

ment District estimates the project to beworth R180m.

Behind the scenesTheupgradewill allow Iziko to “lift the

veil” on the daily activities behind thepublic exhibitions and share the full ex-tent of its collectionswith visitors, Omarsays.“Visitors can learn to better under-

stand the constantly evolving universewe live in and marvel at the biologicaland cultural diversity of our planet. Thiswill enable Iziko to engage in a moremeaningful way with the public,” shesays.The museum will remain open during

the renovations, although some exhibi-tions and areas may be closed.“The work on site is scheduled in such

a manner to minimise the impact on thevisitor experience.“Noise, dust and closed exhibition are-

asmight be a slight temporary inconven-ience, but once completed, the IzikoSouthAfricanMuseumwill provide visi-tors with access to a world-class muse-um,” she says.

New building to‘lift veil’ on fossils

About 100 electronic deviceswere confis-cated from prisoners in Pollsmoor pris-on last weekend; half of these being cell-phones.Dan Plato, provincial minister of com-

munity safety, says inmates’ access tocommunicating at will with the outsideworld undermines the hard work doneby the police and the judicial system.“The police spend valuable time and

resources to gather the necessary evi-dence to ensure that criminals areputbe-hind bars, and situations where thesegangsters and drug lords are allowedcontinued access to the outside world se-verely undermines the police’s efforts tokeep our communities safe,” he says.Plato says stronger and continued ac-

tion is required against any inmate

found with any communication deviceas well as against any prison employeefound to be aiding it.The department of correctional servi-

ces is apparently implementing cell-phone detection technology at Polls-moor. Plato says he has requested boththe nationalminister of correctional ser-vices and the acting provincial policecommissioner to update him on the useof communicationdevices inprisons, theimpact it has on crime prevention out-side prisons, as well as how involvedcrime intelligence are in combating it.“If we are to have any measurable im-

pact in combatting crime and organisedcrime related to gangs and drugs in theprovince we will all have to play ourpart,” he says.

We hear of people taking the law into their own handsto deal with criminals, more often these days.Andwhile not only the hardened criminals, but also the

petty thieves are “punished for their crimes” by ordinarymembers of the community fed up by a “lack of policeaction”, very often vigilante justice becomes more thanjust a “simple hiding”.Recently, a suspectedmurderer paidwith his livewhen

residents of Kalkfontein decided to take the law into theirown hands.The reason? The community “distrusts” the police.

Theyalso complain about the lackof policing in their areaas is the case with other crime ridden areas across theCape.In a separate incident earlier thisweek, nine foreigners

and a South African were robbed at the bottom of Lion’sHead in Cape Town.When the victims chased the criminals after the rob-

bery, one called the SouthAfrican emergency number 112– without success.He phoned his mother, who tried phoning the 112 emer-

gency number as well as 10111 for over 20 minutes. Whenshe finally got through to the Cape Town Central policestation, the police officer on the phone did not knowwhere Lion’s Head is. The victims gave up after waitingon help to arrive for 35.Although the above incidents are not related , there is

an agreement: the police were conspicuous in their ab-sence.Such clumsy action (or rather a lack of any action) is

a blot on the name of our sergeants.The longer this poor service continues, the more the

community will continue to take the law into their ownhands – in itself a frightening and unacceptable idea!

Look out for morel mushroomI’m a Rondebosch-based mushroomforager and fungi researcher in need ofsome knowledge and/or advice fromFish Hoek residents who may havespotted an extremely rare mushroomgrowing in the valley.The morel mushroom is highly

sought-after for its excellent taste and isextremely rare to find in Cape Town.Research has led me to believe that

Fish Hoek was once a hotspot forforaging wild morels, but this is goingback over 50 years.

The morel is brown-yellow, shaped likea small conical brain and usually popsup in spring when the ground warmsup, at least in the northern hemisphereit does.They have been known to pop up after

fires and are believed to be mycorrhizal,meaning that they grow under certaintrees – in this case oak, ash, elm andapple orchards.I am curious as to whether they are

still around.Finding one, or a patch of them, would

be quite a discovery.Any information about these mush-

rooms and their last seen location wouldbe highly appreciated.I wish to find them and collect sam-

ples, as to preserve their spores forfuture propagation around the city.Eating them is undoubtedly a bonus!Please email me at [email protected] if

you know anything of this rare fungusthat grew in Fish Hoek.

desperate to see the end of this senselessbloodshed, desperate to be freed from thisevil that seems to overwhelm everythingin its wake.These are not words of despair, but

words of desperation. In spite of all ourefforts we humanly endeavour to do tomake our community a better place, theauthorities still ignore or choose tooverlook what is happening.As community leaders, organizations,

structures and churches we are doing ourlevel best but the reality is that we arenot the authorities. We are not the police,social development, court or the govern-ment.As long as basic services are not

delivered within the reach of the commu-nity, desperate times will prevail.I hope out of our desperation this time

round we will keep those who areresponsible to render these services,accountable and that if they don’t weshall collectively deal with the matter.

PAUL PHILLIPS,Parkwood

Gender violencea serious issueThe horrendous and brutal attacksagainst the courageous 14-year-oldGrabouw girl, and the 18-year-old matricpupil, Sanet de Lange begs the question,“When will civil society start winningthe battle of violence against women?”The ongoing scourge of the abuse ofwomen and children continues unabat-ed!Have we forgotten the brutal murder

of 2-year old baby Zoey Petersen at thehands of her drug-crazed father?The most vulnerable in our society

continues to be violated almost on a

daily basis, despite campaigns such asthe 16 Days of Activism for No Violenceagainst Women and Children, whichruns globally from 25 November (Inter-national Day for the Elimination ofViolence against Women) through toInternational Human Rights Day on 10December. I urge civil society to collec-tively tackle the issue of gender violenceseriously, and for government to securethe highest political commitment to endthe pandemic expeditiously.

Muggings, robberies must be reportedIt’s been safe and quiet for the last fewmonths at sunrise beach where localMuizenberg residents enjoy walkingtheir dogs or just taking a family stroll.But in the last week three violent

attacks have occurred.Two Sundays ago a man was robbed

at knife point and last Tuesday twoseparate incidents of ladies being robbedat gun point, at 10:00 by a couple of

youths.This is terrible. The sad thing is most

of these are never reported to the police,as people feel “What’s the point?” Thenthey complain that the police do noth-ing. These attacks need to be reported inorder for the law to do something aboutit!

City staff plantgarden at ZerildaExtreme weather did not deter City officials

from investing Mandela Day time in Vil-lage Heights on Friday last week.

Various activities formed part of how Cityofficials celebrated Mandela Day while see-ing to some of the needs of Zerilda PrimarySchool in Village Heights

These activities included planting a varie-ty of indigenous plants and seeds, helpingwith environmental education activities forchildren facilitated by Zandvlei Nature Re-serve staff, painting a play park and clearinga school sports field of rocks and building de-bris.

According to a statement City officialshave been working in the Seawinds area, spe-cifically in Village Heights, for around threeyears through the “Friends and neighbours:The other side of the fence” initiative. Thisinitiative is run by the False Bay Nature Re-serve and aims to integrate surroundingcommunities with the important natural as-sets in the reserve through environmentaleducation and green jobs.

Johan van der Merwe, mayoral committeemember for energy, environmental and spa-tial planning, says the event on Friday wasnot only held to honour the legacy of formerpresident Nelson Mandela.

“Importantly, we are not only celebrating

the legacy of this great man, we are also cele-brating the culture of volunteerism. I thankour officials and the other volunteers for notbeing deterred by the extremely wet weatherand showing how we all have to work togeth-er to make progress possible,” Van der Mer-we says.

He adds the turnout at the event was en-couraging as staff and residents came out tosupport the days activities.

“Zerilda Primary School in Seawinds, nearLavender Hill, is attended by a number ofchildren from the Village Heights communi-ty.

“The Mandela Day activities, aimed at im-proving the facilities at the school, were initi-ated by Village Heights parents. This sort ofresponse from the community is very en-couraging as it highlights how, through pro-grammes such as the ‘Friends and neigh-bours’ initiative, a sense of pride and owner-ship is being cultivated,” he says.

The school plans to use the indigenous gar-den a primary tool for the environmental ed-ucation programme.

It also provides a biodiversity link to acommunity nature garden currently underconstruction at Village Heights as part ofFalse Bay Nature Reserve’s “friends andneighbours” programme.

City staff andofficials in theindigenousgardenplanted atZerildaPrimarySchool onFriday lastweek as partof theirMandela Daycelebrations.

Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club was offi-cially launched at the Peninsula Hotel inSea Point last week.

The club, which has been in existence foronly a few months, tackles the worldwidechallenges and effects of bul-lying at schools. Founded bya mother, Beverley Davids,who saw her son suffer be-cause of bullies, she vowed todo something about bullying.

Since the formation of theclub Davids has visited dif-ferent schools in Cape Townand educated teachers, par-ents and pupils on bullying(People’s Post, “Pupils edu-cated on bullying”, 16 June).

Davids believes not a lot isbeing done to address bully-ing.

“Watching my son sufferbecause of bullying and no-one to help really tore myheart apart. We knocked onliterally every door but no-one could helphim. I watched in pain as he suffered andall the doors were shut in front of us. That’swhen I realised I had to do something to helpothers as well,” she says.

Left brokenAttending the launch last week was Dur-

ban author Sandhir Kumar Sewmungal(21), who has suffered at the hands of bullieswhile in school.

With no-one to turn to, pen and paper be-come his best friends and he chronicled ev-

erything that happened to him. However,what Sewmungal remembers is that bully-ing leaves you broken.

“You become so angry and lonely that youcan’t help yourself. It tears you apart. Formost people it has long-term effects, likenightmares, and they become so aggressive.It’s such a pain that with such devastating

effects of bullying not so muchis being done to help the vic-tims. However, I would en-courage parents to talk totheir children and help themto open up and tell you if theyare being bullied. Though theresponse might be slow, keeptalking about it – somethingwill eventually happen,” hesaid.

Bullying destroysUsing a piece of paper, Da-

vids demonstrated the effectsof bullying.

“When you squash a pieceof paper and unfold it again,it can unfold, but it will nevergo to its original state. It has

creases that will never be fixed. So let’s edu-cate each other, but mostly our kids, to sayno to bullying, because it destroys the per-son inside. Most people grow to be lonely be-ings or sad and mostly broken inside be-cause of bullying, so let’s fight together tomake sure that we win this war against bul-lying,” says Davids.

Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club is runby Davids and her family. Anyone whowants to donate to help them carry out themessage of saying no to bullying can can Da-vids on 073 557 8849 or 021 372 0252.

@LouNotes

A few of Cape Town’s divas willbe on stage at the Joseph Stone

Auditorium for a special once-offperformance on Saturday 1 Au-gust.They’ll be performing in Kat Gi-

lardi’sDivas one night only, a caba-ret show of drag queens lip-synch-ing.Theannual charity concert is the

brainchild of Kat, who grew up inMitchell’s Plain and now lives inRondebosch East.“IwonMissGayWesternCape in

2010 andas the titleholderyouhaveto come up with a fundraising orawareness concept,” she explains.Considering there were alreadymany pageants on offer, Kat decid-ed to instead do something shereally enjoyed.

Creativity“Cabaret or lip-synching de-

serves the respect of an art form asit was not viewed like that.”Kat explains that there’s a lot of

effort, energy and creativity thatgoes into preparing a song to per-form.She decided to create a concert to

showcase Cape Town’s talent onone stage to raise funds and edu-cate local communities.“We are not just boys or men in

dresses but men with talent andcreativity with amazing personali-ties and good souls.”Funds raised at the concert will

go to the Miss Gay Western Capecompetition. They run soup kitch-

ens and finalists of the competitionvisit old-age and children’s homes.“My team and I at Miss Gay

Western Cape have no financialbacking,” Kat points out, addingthat they welcome any contribu-tions to help themwith their chari-ty work.Kat says the audience at this

year’s Divas one night only showcan expect a bigger and better pro-duction than ever before. “The au-dience will definitely be in for anamazing show this year.”

Big namesMost of the performers involved

are seasoned cabaret artists, butthere will also be some new talentwho made it through an auditionprocess.Some of the names on stage in-

cludeManila vonTees, VidaFanta-bisher, Anastacia Khan, Angel La-lamore, Dayana Lima and 3D(ThreeDivas), who’ll be perform-ing hits by divas like Patti Labelle,Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey,Tina Turner, Ariana Grande andMadonna. Heart 104fm’s Irma Gwill be the MC for the evening.Kat says the show has become a

true community event with some-thing for everybody on stage. Shealso invites the audience to join thestars at the concert’s after-party atWest End in Rylands.V Tickets for Divas one night only on Satur-day 1 August at 19:30 for 20:00 cost R100each and are available from Computicket.V Anyone who would like to sponsor some-thing for the show or the goodie bags forthe artists can email Kat at [email protected].

The Western Province CricketClub Badgers (WPCC) hockeyteam has repeated last year’s

heroics and successfully defendedtheir Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge title in Durban at the week-end.

The tournament boasts the larg-est total prize money for a SouthAfrican hockey tournament.

WPCC pocketed R25 000 for its ef-forts in securing the tournament’stop honours, which is the highestprize money ever awarded inSouth African hockey history.

The Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge is the only non-tertiary na-tional hockey tournament on theSA circuit to feature the country’stop club hockey teams.

The tournament was establishedin 2013 by Riverside Sports andRiverside Hockey Club to show-case proficient top class hockey bypremier players in a festival typetournament.

This year, spectators were treat-ed to an even more exciting displayof intense hockey performancesfrom SA’s top players and clubs.

Participating teams included theBadgers, Kearsney Hockey Club(2nd), Riverside Hockey Club (3rd),Wanderers Hockey Club (4th) andOld Edwardians Hockey Club

(5th), who were also newcomers tothe tournament, and Malik Old Al-banians Hockey Club (6th).

Deserved championsThe Badgers would seal the deal

in the final match of the festival,beating Kearsney 3-0, with goalsfrom captain Andrew Cronje, Matt-hew McConkey and Ryan Crowe.

According to Jon Cook, the Badg-ers were fully deserved champi-ons: “Throughout this outstandingevent, the Badgers were compactin defence, inventive in midfieldand composed in front of goal.

“The Cape Town side were alsoindebted to their inspirationalgoalkeeper Mark Turner, whomade a number of breathtakingsaves at vital moments in histeam’s four matches.

“The impressive Kearsney outfitmade the Badgers work hard forthe victory, yet the goal scoring op-portunities they created didn’ttranslate into dividends.”

WPCC wins richest prize in SA hockey

port of the entire Cape Town com-munity to make this event a hugelysuccessful one.”
