The return of theminstrelsTAURIQ HASSEN AND HANRIEBOSCH

MINSTREL troupes are tosign a code of conduct as

part of the agreement to marchthrough the historic Bo-Kaaparea.

The news comes after lengthydiscussions between representa-tives of theCity ofCapeTown, pro-vincial government and minstrelassociations over the past twomonths.

On Tuesday 8 November anagreement was reached, which in-cluded the return to the normalroutes through the historic Bo-Kaap area, and hosting the eventon 2 January. City of Cape Townwill also provide R3.5 million forTweede Nuwe Jaar celebrations.A further R500 000 was madeavailable for events after TweedeNuwe Jaar and competitions.

Peoples Post extensively coveredthe discussions at the Cape HighCourt, “Minstrel battle marcheson (1 November 2011),” before re-tired Constitutional Court JudgeKate O’Reagan.

According to Osman Shaboo-dien, chairperson of the Bo-KaapCivic Association, the code of con-duct will ensure timeliness, withstrict starting and finishingtimes, and orderly conduct. Thecity council has set up a task teamto ensure that there will beenough toilets along the routes.

The conduct of the minstrelswill be policed by the City Coun-cil. “We have walked for 150 yearswithout council, but to take it tothe next level and make this a cal-endar event we need strong part-nerships that work,” said Shaboo-dien The concerns of residents,basedon their experienceof previ-ous years, were of minstrelsmarching into the early hours ofthe morning; minstrels not re-specting prayer times; and allega-tions of minstrels urinatingagainst Mosque walls.

CEO for the Cape Town Carni-val Association, Kevin Momberg,was delighted at the outcome and

said: “This is what we wanted andnow we can work on restoring apart of history which shouldrightfully be staged every year.”

Momberg highlighted the im-portance of the minstrel culturein Cape Town, mentioning thedays of a packed Wale Street,marching past the old Slave Lodgein Adderley Street, with facespainted black and white and thou-sands of minstrels lining up to en-tertain Cape Town. “These arefond memories, so we have had tofight for this, for something thatrightfully belongs here,” saysMomberg.

According to Solly Malatsi,spokesperson for the ExecutiveMayor of Cape Town, Patricia DeLille, the agreement “paves theway for the successful hosting ofone of Cape Town’s historic andcelebrated cultural events.”

Momberg said.“We will beworking very closely with theCity of Cape Town to ensure thatwe host a successful event thatwill be remembered and remindpeople of the good old days.”

The agreement will serve as apilot project to guide the manage-ment of future minstrel events.“It

has been a long, long road,” saidShaboodien. “This is not a victo-ry; it is just a restoration of rightsand recognition of the culture,heritage and history of the Bo-Kaap, and an acknowledgement ofthe importance of the area.”

“This has become a way of lifefor many people, and it is reassur-ing to see the tradition reinstat-ed,” said Shaboodien. The MosqueAssociation is cautious: “let’s seewhat happens this year; if it willbe better than previous years.”

According to Cape Town Tour-ism, the Kaapse Klopse festivalhas been compared to that of theCarnival in Rio de Janeiro, andthe Mardi Gras in New Orleansand is “a spectacular and colour-ful event that should not bemissed.” Cape Town’s famousTweede Nuwe Jaar carnival hasbeen described as a “bright, noisyand vibrant celebration.”

Bringing art to the massesSELECTED artworks from this year’s Free-dom to Create Festival are on show at theCompany Gardens in Cape Town from 17November until 18 December.

Importantly for Cape Town, it is the firstsuch event to be held here since Cape Townwas voted the World Design Capital 2014.

Many local charities will benefit fromFreedom to Create’s visit.

The Freedom to Create Festival, includ-ing the awards ceremony, exhibition, filmfestival and other events, take place from14 to 20 November.

“By bringing the exhibition outdoors tothis popular public heritage park in CapeTown’s central business district, we hope toengage new audiences in a dialogue aroundpressing social issues that our exhibitionbrings to light,” said organisers of thisyear’s event.

The Freedom to Create Exhibition com-bines powerful artworks with important so-cial messages and is a physical manifesta-tion of how creativity is being used to influ-ence social change around the world.

It addresses the importance of empower-ing dreams to transform lives, and cele-

brates the power of the arts in confrontingbarriers to creativity and prosperity.

The exhibition offers participating art-ists an opportunity to share their work onan international platform.

Resonating among members of the globalart world and humanitarian sectors, previ-ous Freedom to Create Exhibitions havebeen held in London, New York, Harare,Kabul, Cairo, Mumbai, Sarajevo and Xia-men.

Know the house rulesA SALE agreement comesinto effect when a prospec-tive buyer makes a writtenoffer to a seller and theseller accepts that offer topurchase his/her propertyon the terms and condi-tions agreed upon.

The next step is to give ef-fect to this sale by formallytransferring the propertyfrom the Seller to the Buyeras registered and recorded inour Deeds Office.

The Seller either directlyor through an estate agent orauctioneer, then instructs aconveyancing attorney totransfer the property interms of the sale agreement.

The average time to com-plete the process from sale totransfer is about 12-14 weeks,though complicating issues,arising from a deceased es-tate or divorce, could in-crease this period considera-bly.

Once instruction has beenreceived, the transferring at-torney opens a file and en-sures that suspensive condi-tions have been compliedwith. Example of a suspen-sive condition is the pay-ment of a deposit.

The transferring attorneywill draft the transfer docu-ments in preparation for sig-

nature by the Seller and Buy-er. Five basic documents arerequired for the transfer ofan immovable property,namely the Power of Attor-ney; the existing Title Deedin terms of which the Selleris the current registeredowner; the Deed of Transferin terms of which the Buyerwill become the new regis-tered owner; the TransferDuty Receipt and RatesClearance Certificate.

Transfer Duty is a tax pay-able by the Buyer on the pur-chase and transfer of immov-able property. This cost is inaddition to the transferringattorney’s fees. However, thetransaction may be exemptfor transfer duty tax if thepurchase price is R600 000 orless (as per current legisla-tion). Transfer duty tax iscalculated as follows:

R0-R600 000=no transferduty payable

R600 000.01 toR1 000 000=3% of the valuebetween these amounts

R1 000 000,01 toR1 500 000=5% + R12 000

Above R1 500 000=8% +R37 000

A Rates Clearance Certifi-cate is issued by the City ofCape Town to the transfer-ring attorney upon settle-ment of the Seller’s rates,

which includes advance col-lections on the rates accountfor a period of 120 days.

This cost is payable by theSeller. Once the documentsare in order the transferringattorney will contact thebond attorneys and the bondcancellation attorney and ar-range a date to lodge their re-spective deeds simultane-ously at the Deeds Office.

The documents are exam-ined and usually becomeavailable for registrationwithin 10-12 working daysfrom date of lodgement.

The transfer, bond andbond cancellation are thensimultaneously registeredresulting in the transfer be-ing effected between the Sell-er and Buyer.

This is a basic overview ofthe transfer process and cir-cumstances may vary ac-cording to the particularitiesof each transaction.

TheBuyerwill be liable forthe bond attorney’s registra-tion costs in addition to thetransfer costs. The Sellerwill be liable for the settle-ment amount of the bond aswell as the bond cancellationattorney’s costs. Prospectivebuyers should request a quo-tation in advance so thatthey are able to budget forthe transactions.

AS PART of the ProudlySouth African ChristmasCampaign, PDSA is profil-ing members who providegoods and services thatmay be useful over the fes-tive season, or can fill aChristmas stocking.

This week the spotlightfalls on Ocean Therapy,started in 2006.

They produce a range ofbath salts for hotels, spas,game lodges, health shops,and as corporate gifts.

The bath salts are madeof pure, unrefined sea salt.These large sea salt crys-tals are produced naturallyby solar evaporation incoastal salt-pans beside theancient Namib Desert.

The crystals are rich inbeneficial sea minerals(over 76) and fragrancedwith top quality aromath-erapy essential oils to pro-duce a natural salt-baththerapy.

It is not only healing, butis also environmentallyfriendly.

It gave us great exposureand opened up a wholeworld of new opportunitiesto grow our business.

. What are some of thechallenges that you facedin 2011?

It has been difficult tofind decent packaging inSouth Africa.

However, rather thantake the easy option of go-ing to China, we made ourown as much as possible totry and keep our productuniquely African and homegrown.

. Why did you becomea Proudly South Africanmember?

An existing member ad-vised me to join ProudlySouth African because ofthe great networking op-portunities within SouthAfrica and the rest of Afri-ca.

. Do you have words ofinspiration for South Af-

rican consumers and en-trepreneurs?

Wehaveproducedaprod-uct that is unique plus it isdesigned, created and de-veloped in South Africa.Even though the raw saltcomes from Namibia, thisis still part of Africa. Ourproduct is original,healthy, eco-friendly, jobcreating, and also focuseson the environment andconservation awareness.Think creatively and thinkoutside the box.

Don’t get sucked into the‘buy China, buy cheap’ syn-drome.

If you can’t compete onprice don’t even try. In-stead, focus on better serv-ice and more originality.People don’t always wantthe cheapest.

Quality and innovationdo count.

Three NEW Unique Systems Available FOR HOME USE / PROFFESIONAL USE- RENTING OPTIONS AVAILABLE

An interesting yearin review by CPFHANRIE BOSCH

ONE million people commute intothe city centre on a daily basis,

along with an estimated 100 000 resi-dents who call the city centre home.

This serves up a challenging environ-ment to police, says Henry Giddy, Commu-nity Police Forum (CPF) chairman.

Giddy was speaking at the CPF’s AGMon Thursday.

He quoted statistics for the period fromApril 2010 to October 2011, when the Cen-tral City Improvement District (CID) has,with the help of over 230 officers, issued9581 traffic and 947 bylaw fines, with finesaveraging R315 000 per month.

As well as conducting 806 crime preven-tion operations, attending to 1 902 calls forassistance, assisted at 249 accidents andundertook 319 medical and rescue calls.

With the help of 65 cleaners, the CPF hasremoved over 1 500 tons of waste from theCity streets, cleared over 1 336 storm waterdrains (removing 24 tons of waste) recycledover 30 tons of glass, 44 tons of plastic, 18tons of paper and 45 tons of cardboard.They have also removed over 3 000 graffitipieces and over 300 illegal posters.

The CID road maintenance team attend-ed to 297 potholes and 267 road signs as wellas making 772 repairs to aesthetic defectson pavements.

On the social side the CID has also madean impact by assisting 112 children livingon the streets, donated 500 pairs of men’sshoes to the homeless and hosted over 660elders at a lunch on Grandparents’ Day, as

well as employing and creating work op-portunities for over 300 people.

The Tamboerskloof Neighbourhoodwatch (TBKWatch) has also grown sub-stantially since its inception five years ago,now boasting a membership of over 600,with 145 TBKWatch radio owners.

The Oranjezicht Higgovale Neighbour-hood watch (OH) is continuing to growwith 756 households registered on theirwebsite, and 126 having purchased radios.

Giddy identified the most problematiccrime in theareaasbeing theft out ofmotorvehicles, and urged citizens to refrain fromleaving anything in their cars.

Cape Town Central Police station com-mander, Senior superintendent Pierre vander Riel, said “the crime situation does notlook bad, but we will have to put energy in-to prevention and combating propertycrimes for the remainder of this financialyear.”

The crime situation in the Cape Townprecinct has been a mixed bag over the pastyear from April 2010 to October 2011, withincreases and decreases.

Contact crimes decreased by 16%.Housebreaking and car-jacking decreasedby 28%.

Property related crime increased by9.2%.

Drug related crimes and possession of il-legal firearms increased by 9.3%

In the coming year Giddy aims to maxi-mizing the partnerships and success of the120 patrollers and 14 vehicles that patrol-ling the streets.

Emphasis will be placed on implement-ing and enforcing liquor licencing laws.

CELEBRATING PEACE: Members of the South African National Defence Force took tothe streets on Thursday night to practise for the Armistice Day celebrations on Sundayin Adderley Street.

Bright futures for beneficiariesTHE League of Friends of the Blind (LOFOB)and the Cape Eye Hospital have been instru-mental in restoring the gift of sight to nu-merous needy people for three years run-ning.

Their sight restoration campaign has giv-en people living with cataracts the opportu-nity for free cataract removal and lens re-placement surgery.

A cataract is a cloudiness of the lens whichmakes it difficult for light to pass throughand results in a loss of vision.

It remains the leading cause of avoidableloss of sight worldwide and is the cause of50% of blindness.

State hospitals are inundated with re-quests for cataract removals and patientswait between two to five years before theyare assisted.

Among such cases referred this year isArthur Michaels* (39), who has been unem-ployed for four years as he could not copewith the demands of the working world withpoor vision.

Michaels, who has recently undergone theoperation, described how much the opera-

tion meant to him as the restoration of hissight would open employment opportuni-ties.

“Words could not explain the joy I feltwhen the patch was removed and I am confi-dent I have a bright future ahead.”

Another candidate, Priscilla Winkworth*,who has been on a waiting list for threeyears, came knocking at LOFOB’s door forassistance as she eventually went blind ow-ing to cataracts. Feeling very emotional andoverwhelmed, Winkworth expressed hergratitude by breaking out into the song: “Ican see clearly now...”

The partnership between LOFOB and theCape Eye Hospital is scheduled to continuein 2012 and candidates are invited to submitapplications for assistance with the surger-ies.

*The names of the people in this articlehave been changed.

For more information about the campaigncontact the LOFOB offices on (021) 705-3753,send a fax to (021) 705-2154, email info@lo-fob.org.za or go to their website at www.lo-fob.org.za.

AZURE APPETIZER: Avocado with cured Franschoek salmon trout, with a corriander and bellpepper syrup at Azure.

SERENITY ON A PLATE: Feast your eyes on the chicken terrine with Parma ham at the Round­house. Photo: Hanrie Bosch

FIERCELY FRESH: A delicious compilation ofsalmon trout, spiced, cured and tartar at Plan­et restaurant.

“I did not choose to be a chef,” says Grobbe-laar, “It chose me.” He dashes off to the kitch-en to prepare avocado with cured Franschoeksalmon trout, so fresh it must have been aliveas I was walking up the stairs.

Speaking of blue and wide open spaces, ournext stop is Planet Restaurant. Situated in theiconic Mount Nelson Hotel, executive chefRudi Liebenberg matches his food perfectlywith the atmosphere of the restaurant - whichis out of this world.

The highlight is the most delectable andexquisite desert imaginable (the picture doesit no justice).

A lot has been said earlier about chain res-taurants, but our next stop is, in fact, a chainrestaurant of sorts, but on a different level.Nobu, situated in the One and Only hotel onthe Waterfront, is nearly always packed.There are more than 22 restaurants around

the world. Executive chef Hideki Maeda gotinto the industry by accident. As a teenagerhe “couldnot evenpeel anapple,” but 20 yearslater his international career has seen himtransfer from London to Cape Town to headthe Japanese-inspired Nobu. Serving up a ba-by spinach salad topped with prawns, the imi-tated impression was “plain,” but then thetastes kicked in...a little something Maedacalls Umami.

Between salmon, duck and delectable pas-tries and puffs, each chef was asked on whomthey placed their bets to take away the bacon,so to speak, on 20 November.

Surprisingly, one name came up repeated-ly: Luke Dale-Roberts.

Who is this you ask? He is the last of thefive City chefs and owns The Test Kitchen inWoodstock at the Old Biscuit Mill. An openkitchen accentuates the fact that you are now

eating out, and shows a side of the experiencethat is mostly hidden, always tasted and nev-er seen. Interesting and unique flavoursmakes time disappear amidst the hustle andbustle of the restaurant that is fully book at12:30.

Twenty-three years in the industry has giv-en him a few laughs and electric shocks thathave flung him across a kitchen. Dale--Roberts says that creating great food is allabout “transferring passion onto a plate,”which is evident in the well orchestrated“ballet” of sorts one sees in the kitchen.

At the end of the day, chain restaurant oravant garde, risky or conventional, food is allabout enjoying yourself. And with so manygreat places to Eat Out in Cape Town, whynot take the chanceof enjoying somethingdif-ferent to the two-for-one special at that placedown the road.

A Taste is worth a thousand wordsHANRIE BOSCH

WHY spend a fortune on a meal whenyou can just pop across the street to

a chain restaurant and get your favouritesame predictable burger you know andtrust? And why would you swap a menuwith a hundred choices for one with few?Surely family feuds will ensue as a result?

First you need to establish what is fine din-ing. Does it mean that your meals are smalland resemble art more than food? Toweredand layered beyond recognition?

No. It means passion. It means that everymorsel passing from fork to mouth has beenexquisitely crafted into excellence. Really, itis like comparing a Ferrari to a toy car.

With the DStv Eat Out awards culminatingon 20 November, People’s Post sampled someof the best of the five nominees in the city.

First on the list was Roundhouse, an appar-ently haunted gem with a 300-year historyoverlooking Camps Bay. On a beautiful sun-ny day on the rolling lawns overlooking theocean, executive chef PJ Vadas contemplatethe finer things in life.

“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is afruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put it intoa fruit salad,” muses the chef who has workedin London, France and New York.

Serving up chicken and duck terrine withParma ham, drizzled with seasonal flowersmade all thought of conversation disappear,just like the clouds rolling over the 12 Apos-tles.

Ournext stop is theAzure, set in the luxuryand opulence of the 12 Apostles Hotel. “I donot know any food that is naturally blue,”says executive chef Henrico Grobbelaar, “butit just works.” And so it does, the blue decorbrings the ocean, mere metres away, insideand onto your plate.

Regularly working 12-14 hours a day, Grob-belaar has become somewhat attached to hiskitchen: “Two days without stainless steelcountertops and I feel sick”

Cape Town isopen for businessThe City of Cape Town is driving a

job creation agenda by providingan enabling environment motivatingCape Town Entrepreneurship. This isbeing done partly through a series ofevents at the City Hall from now untilMonday 21 November, as well as nu-merous satellite events across thecity.

“Cape Town recognises the role and im-portance of small to medium enterprisesin job creation,” says Councillor GarrethBloor, chairperson of the City’s Econom-ic, Environment and Spatial PlanningPortfolio Committee.

“We can create a supportive environ-ment by helping existing organisationsdirectly so they can increase their cur-rent capacity.

Primarily, however the major drive isone of sound policy and effective adminis-tration.”

Bloor says while Council will use itsmandate to drive job creation across allsectors, it will take extra steps to helpCape Town’s businesses – particularlysmall to medium enterprises (SMEs) – tocomply with existing national regula-

tions.The City and the Provincial Govern-

ment are currently working through aRed Tape to Red Carpet set of recommen-dations, focusing on how to make it easierto do business in Cape Town, across allbusiness sectors.

The upcoming Cape Town Entrepre-neurship Week will allow SMEs the op-portunity to interact with policy-makers,public representatives and senior City of-ficials in open forums.

In addition to aspiring and currentSME owners, Cape Town Entrepreneur-ship Week will include events with seniorpolicy-makers from emerging marketssuch as Thailand and Brazil who haveachieved high growth rates, lifting mil-lions out of poverty.

“Job creation is at the top of the agendaand that means targeting and supportingthe job creators.

What a wonderTABLE MOUNTAIN is one of theNew7Wonders, along with theAmazon, Halong Bay in Viet-nam, Iguazu Falls in Argentina,Jeju Island in South Korea, Ko-modo in Indonesia, and PuertoPrincesa Underground River inthe Philippines.

The news came just after 22:00 onFriday evening.

Grant Thornton, a leading tour-ism, hospitality and leisure re-search company, predicted a R1.4billion annual return for South Af-rican tourism. Basing their projec-tions on the New7Man Made Won-ders, in which 100 million voteswere cast worldwide, Grant Thorn-ton estimated that tourism to CapeTown could increase by about 20%,resulting in increased employment

opportunities. Mariëtte du Toit-Helmbold, CEO of Cape Town Tour-ism says: “We are very excitedabout this win. From being award-ed the World Design Capital 2014designation just a few weeks ago toTable Mountain being named one ofthe New7Wonders of Nature today,Cape Town and South Africa arestanding proud!

There are many benefits, but ourbiggest opportunity is job creation.In line with Cape Town Tourism’snew brand strategy for the city, weare working with individuals andcompanies on developing new, in-teresting and genuine tourism of-ferings to satisfy changing travel-lers’ needs. With the anticipated in-crease in tourism, moreentrepreneurial opportunities willopen up.”

The campaign also gaveSouth Africans the chance tolearn more about the moun-tain. Before the campaign,many people may not haveknown that Table Mountainis one of the oldest mountainson the planet, about 360 mil-lion years old, and was de-clared a World Heritage Sitein 2004.

The Cape Floristic Regionis the smallest and richest ofthe six floral kingdoms on theplanet, and habitat to 8 200rare and endangered plantspecies.

Table Mountain is also theonly terrestrial feature tohave a constellation named after it.The southern constellation Mensa(originally Mons Mensae – Latin for

“the table mountain”), was namedin 1754 after the increasingly world-famous landmark in the then Cape

of Good Hope.It is also one of the most photo-

graphed sites in Africa.

Get ready for some Asian persuasion

STELLAR BEAUTY: On Wednesday evening local shutterbug John Rayner captured the moment as the moonrose just as the sun set. But unfortunately there were some low­lying clouds over the Tygerberg hills and itwas only a little after the sun had set that the moon was visible as it rose through the thin clouds. Rayneradded that hundreds of people flocked to Signal Hill to witness the phenomenon ­ the road along the Hill wasclogged with cars, with quite a festive atmosphere, even though there was a stiff cold South Easter blowing.

ANGEL AWARDED: Jacqui Ahrends of Vredehoek was awarded St Cyprian’sSchool’s highest honour, the Lily Award, by Head of St Cyprian’s School SueRedlinghuys.

Majestic mountainCAPETONIANS now officially live in theshadow of greatness.

The mammoth icon, Table Mountain hasbeen included on a provisional list of theNew7Wonders competition finalists. An-nounced on Friday, the final result is said tobe made public early next year. Off the backof Cape Town being named the design Capitalof the World in November, the latest an-nouncement will make huge inroads for thetourism sector and increase visitor numbersin the province, as Table Mountain now be-comes the deciding factor for internationaltourists considering their options. This natu-ral resource has become one of the country’smost valuable commodities, and with a globalstruggling economy it is true that every bitof help is welcome.

These are exciting times for Cape Towntourism. Authorities in the sector have esti-mated that the announcement alone willbring over 100 000 visitors to local shores.

Reportedly the value of the tourism in-crease was estimated to be about R1.4 billiona year for the first five years following the in-clusion. This will inevitably lead to an in-crease in jobs.

While business readies itself to use themountain’s new elevated status in marketingcampagins, tourism authorities are rightful-ly focused on making local tourist destina-tions more accessible to the local public, thevery people who voted to make this prestig-ious accolade a reality for Table Mountain. Itis after all, the only of the finalists situatedin the middle of a bustling urban setting,hardly isolated or difficult to reach like someof its competitors.

Cape Town Executive Mayor, Patricia DeLille says the announcement has confirmedwhat many locals already know. For manyCapetonians, Table Mountain holds greatsentimental value. Rumour has it that theNew7Wonders Foundation is set to take on anew survey in the future, the top seven citiesin the world. Cape Town, here we go – again!

Tax businesses which benefitedIT IS regrettable that since the founding ofa democratic state, most citizens of this beau-tiful country find themselves in a state of ab-ject poverty. Democracy means very little tothem because at the end of the day they gowithout food, shelter and may other basic ne-cessities.

The companies that profited most duringapartheid are still in existence.

Still profiting from the human misery towhich they contributed in apartheid days.

A minute proportion of their profits go to-wards social investment. A kind of feel-goodcontribution that is in most cases useless be-cause the projects are not sustained.

The time has arrived that we start to makethese companies take more responsibility tochange the socio economic condition of ourpeople.

Many of these companies would probably

say they are unable to contribute because ofa slow-down or down-turn in the economy.However, a person just has to look at the prof-its that the banking sector posted underthese economic conditions. The question ofcourse how can this sector be suffering withsuch enormous profits?

The proposal by Archbishop Tutu to taxthose who benefited from apartheid shouldbe taken more seriously and should be givenmore support by the disadvantaged.

Also, while this is being deliberated, thesecompanies must be encouraged by govern-ment and the communities who supportthem to make significant contributions to ed-ucation and employment.

If we forget the suffering of our parentsthen their struggle to end injustice would bein vain.SHEIKH MA JARDIEN

Enjoying the dark of the moonDID you walk along the Atlantic coast in thedark this last weekend? There was magicabout.

During the day the sea had the rust tint ofa red tide, and the water was warm, well youknow what I mean. Masses of blue bottles layon the beach blown in by onshore breezes,all signs of a happening.

At night with the tiny sliver of moon be-hind cloud, each foot on the wet sand glowedin the dark, and every finger ripple radiated:bioluminescence.

The waves lit up with the phenomenal

blue-green light of the dinoflagellate, and itsfriends in the plankton.

The tiny dinoflagellate is one of many or-ganisms that can give off light when they areagitated by waves or any disturbance.

Some say the light feature evolved to at-tract predators to their predators, but to usthe light is a spectacular show. Perhaps use-ful to ships in the old days, but now a fireydisplay for pure pleasure.

Keep a watch for the red tide, it’s a pointerto a great night vision.OLIVER CENTURIER-HARRIS

can-born actors Sir Antony Sher and Hon-orary RSC Associate Dame Janet.

The bursary is for a short post graduatecourse to fine-tune the skills of actors to in-terpret Shakespeare. The first three recipi-ents were Omphile Molusi, Thami Mbongoand Nicholas Pauling.

The key to unlocking dreamsHANRIE BOSCH

“FAILURE is a great teacher. Itis a very normal part of being anentrepreneur. We should stopstigmatising people who havefailedandstopregarding itas theend of the road. Just think of Ri-chard Branson and Steve Jobs,”muses Martin Feinstein, organ-iser of this year’s Telkom CapeTown Entrepreneurship Week.

“In a sense people are forced to bemore entrepreneurial and find newways of generating an income”,says Feinstein adding in the samebreath that between 30 to 40 % ofsmall businesses fail within thefirst year, and over five years thenumber doubles to 80%.

“These figures can be very scary,and intimidate a lot of people espe-cially since most people starting asmall business have very good tech-nical skills and know a lot about the

trade they are entering into, but notabout business. People also start ina very overcrowded market, open-ing up crèches or hair salons in-stead of doing something new andinnovative.”

But Capetonians can regardthemselves as lucky, as Cape Townis seen as one of the most nurturingurban environments for entrepre-neurs in the country, as Feinsteinexplains.

“Cape Town has some of the bestinfrastructure in the country.Transport networks and safety andsecurity are all on a much higherstandard, which makes it easier forpeople to access your business andeasier to run a business.

“Inconvenience is a tax on yourtime, and if the city can save youthat time you can spend more timemaking your business work.”

Buthealso adds that SouthAfricais in general 50 % behind in the en-trepreneurial market as compared

to similar countries.“Entrepreneurship creates

wealth. Not just for yourself, but foremployees and suppliers, as well asinnovation and more efficient waysof doing things.

“It also creates social cohesionand stability by creating more jobswhichequates to less crime, jobless-ness and most importantly it cre-ates more entrepreneurs.”

Whether you have just started asmall business, and need mentor-ing and support, or you are justthinking about starting a smallbusiness, the Cape Town Entrepre-neurship Week, 15 to 21 November,can help to give you advice.

All events will take place at CityHall, and on Saturday 19 Novemberbudding entrepreneurs can enjoy afree interactive day, where expertswill be on hand to answer any ques-tions and give advice.

Cape teams out to improve statusLYNN PRINS

AJAX Cape Town and EngenSantos are facing a tough battleto the top as they prepare toshow their mettle against for-midable opponents SuperSportUnited and Kaizer Chiefs thisweekend.

TheUrbanWarriors beat Super-Sport 5-2 in the first round duringthe MTN Top Eight, and revengeis to be expected come Friday.

Pressure will definitely be onfor both Ajax and SuperSportsince Ajax missed out on silver-ware in the Telkom KnockoutCup, when they were booted fromthe tournament by Golden Ar-rows.

Urban Warriors will have tokeep an eye on SuperSport’s Ma-lawian dangerman Atusaye Nyon-do, who is currently the joint topscorer in the Absa PremiershipLeague.

He was also voted the PSL Play-er of the Month for August andSeptember and heads into thematch as the man to watch.

Newly-signed defender Mat-thew Booth might be the kick Ajaxneeds.

Booth recently signed a con-tract which lasts until the end ofthe season.

Over at the Santos camp, theteam is optimistic after reachingthe semi-finals in the TelkomKnockout Cup.

They are oozing confidence, al-though they had a difficult start tothe season.

The People’s Team, as they are

known to fans, faces two awaygames, a league match againstKaizer Chiefs and the TelkomKnockout semi against BidvestWits University.

When asked how Santos willprepare to play against one of thetop teams, coach Boebie Solomonscommented: “We don’t view otherteams as big teams. All games areimportant for us and we prepareit in the same serious way.”

He added: “An away game isnever easy and we expect to havea tough game against them.Against teams like Chiefs, playersare normally highly motivated toget a positive result.”

Solomons reckons the team isworking well together and newplayers like Jonathan Armogam,Jonathan Fransman, Pere Ari-weriyai and Warren Bishop aregetting used to the way the teamfunctions.

However, there is an unfortu-nate rash of injuries in the camp.Key players such as striker ErwinIsaacs, central defender WayneArendse – who is still recoveringfrom bruised ribs – and TshepoMotsoeneng, who has a knee inju-ry, may not be taking part in thematch.

“We are managing Motsoenengat this moment in time and assoon as we have an opportunitywe will try and solve this injuryproblem,” said Solomons.

Ajax takes on SuperSport Unit-ed on Friday at 20:00 at Cape TownStadium.

On Saturday, Santos faces Kaiz-er Chiefs at the Peter Mokaba Sta-dium at 20:15.

Management has eye on the prizeLYNN PRINS

THEY ARE always in the back-ground, spurring the players

on and formulating strategies totake their team to the top. Thisweek People’s Post will intro-duce the team behind the nation-al women’s softball side.

The eight-strong managementteam has been working around theclock, preparing the squad for argu-ably thebiggest tournament of theirsoftball careers.

The Softball Junior Women’sWorld Championship takes placefrom Wednesday 7 to Saturday 17December at Turfhall Stadium andPeople’s Post is the print mediasponsor.

Former national softball playersand provincial coaches make up theexperienced panel, with four ofthem hailing from the Mother City.

Lester Smith is the head coachand known as the man who led thesenior WP softball team to victoryin the National InterprovincialTournament in 2010.

He almost repeated this feat ear-lier this year, however the team fellshort when they were beaten byGauteng in the final.

Smith is also the former headcoach of the Westridge Yankees andthanks to his vision, his former sidehas scooped knockout and league ti-

tles in 2007 and 2010.Smith says his team is fully-fo-

cused on the task ahead and looksforward to a respectable result.

“South Africa will go out and becompetitive in every game. Our ob-jective is to play better than whatwe are ranked. Our strongest com-petitors in our preliminary groupwould be the USA and Canada andwe have to be mentally prepared foreach game.

“Goals are essentially tough, andI can only deal with what is in mycontrol,” he says.

“My goal is to have the girls pre-pared as well as possible. I can’t tellhow many games we will win,though,” he says with a laugh.

Shihaam Nacerodien, the as-sistant coach to Smith, has a wholehistory of softball seasons behindher.

She started off at the age of 10 andplayed in the Super League untilthe age of 45.

“I am excited to be part of thecoaching staff, and it’s great to becoaching at this level. Being part ofthe World Series is a big achieve-ment, and I’m proud of them all.”

Fitness trainer Shaheeda Majietwas also a former national athleteand holds a record in 100m, 200mand relay track events.

She was also part of the WP Mas-ters softball team which went toMelbourne, Australia, in 2002.

Assist-ant manag-er Lynn Al-exander isa formernationalplayer and

has represented the country since2000.

Her first tournament was in Le-sotho, and she also played in twoWorld Series.

She was also part of the team thatplayed in the EuroAfrica Olympicqualifier which took place in Italyin 2007.

“I hope that I serveas a rolemodeland that what I’ve achieved servesas an example of what can be donewhen you work hard,” Alexandersays.
