Senator Park sets precedentHANRIE BOSCH

THE notorious Senator Park,commonly associated with

drug dealing and prostitution,has greatly benefited the City ofCape Town by motivating theProblem Buildings Bylaw andhelping to set a precedent for oth-er problem buildings, accordingto JP Smith, the Mayoral Commit-tee Member for Safety and Securi-ty.

Smith has been instrumental inimplementing the bylaw and tack-ling problem buildings within thecity, and says:“The problem build-ings bylaw is a very broad law, and

was developed in part for SenatorPark, but also for other problembuildings.”

“We now have the right tools totackle these problems. For years westruggled and bumped our heads,but now we don’t only have newtools, we have a brand new tool box.”

According to the bylaw, a problembuilding is any building ‘‘that is der-elict in appearance, overcrowded oris showing signs of becoming un-healthy, unsanitary, unsightly or ob-jectionable”.

Smith also added that this bylaw“places obligation on the owners toget their act together” with regardsto keeping buildings up to scratch.

Smith added that there have beennumerous instances in the pastwhere owners intentionally lettheir properties devaluate andgo down-hill in order to spiteneighbours who did not want to

sell their property, or for personalreasons. And this bylaw will holdsuch owners accountable and evenprevent this type of intentional ne-glect.

And, according to Smith, thisbroad bylaw means that the City ofCape Town can act on any problembuildingwith greater ease, due to thefact that it is now easier to hold occu-pants accountable for property ne-glect.

Smith already has a list of 260 oth-er “problem buildings” throughoutthe City that he is looking to fix.

“Wherever an area has a crimeproblem, there will be a problembuilding that accompanies it.

“We are sharpening our teeth andour fangs are getting longer, as wehave created a Problem BuildingsUnit that started out small but it isgrowing.”

“And we are now also looking to

attach a health and safety inspectorto the unit in order to identify andclear up possible problem build-ings.”

Smith also pointed out that Lin-well Court, on the corner of RoelandStreet and Hope Street, is becoming“the next Senator Park”, as most ofthe residents have now moved there,and they will be keeping a close eyeon the area.

Len Lowing of L&V Properties,which manages the problem build-ing, is also positive that this bylawand its success at Senator Park willinfluence and regulate how otherproblem buildings will be dealt within future.

“The bylaw gave us a lot of teeth,and a lot more bite. And because ofwhat happened here other problembuildings will be better able to dealwith similar problems.”

When People’s Post went to the

apartment building on Thursday 7July, the building was completelyempty, except for a few resident own-ers who are still allowed to stay onthe premises, and the immense taskof cleaning up the badly vandalisednotorious drug den became appar-ent.

Andile Xnnche is one of six clean-ers at Senator Park who now has themammoth task of cleaning the build-ing and removing furniture, clothesand personal items that have beenleft behind.

“In the two years I have been hereI have seen drug dealing and prosti-tution, and now it will take me an-other two years to clean it.”

Lowing says the building will un-dergo extensive renovations, andthat after the renovations they hopeto change the name in order to ridthe property of its bad image and at-tract a higher class of residents.

FLAMES OF ANGER: Rocky Floris, an STP security guard atSenator Park, shows how the fourth floor of the building wasburnt by angry residents when they were told to move out.

Licence-seekers not keeping appointmentsHANRIE BOSCH

THE City of Cape Town’s traffic departmentis appealing to residents to honour theirlearners and driving licence test appoint-ments. In May alone, 2 050 applicants failedto honour their driving licence test appoint-ments, while 1 810 applicants did not honourtheir learners licence test appointments.

Kevin Jacobs, spokesperson for CapeTown Traffic Services, said that in recentyears the waiting period has reduced, withsome areas having a waiting period of twoweeks and others about three weeks.

“We can completely wipe out this waiting

period if people can honour their appoint-ments, or cancel in advance.”

Jacobs says the major reason people don’tshow up for their appointments is that theyhave not had enough time to prepare for atest. An applicant who misses a test date ortime will forfeit all fees and have to re-sub-mit a new application.

“Now that a learners licence is valid for24 months, there is really no need to missa test. It is also not compulsory to take thefirst available date when making an ap-pointment, and applicants are allowed torequest a later date if more time is neededto prepare,” said Jacobs. The City has 18

Driving Licence Testing Centres acrossCapeTown, andapplicants arenot restrictedto applying at a centre where they reside –they may access any testing centre to securea booking. “We appeal to residents to pleaseassist us in using the Driving Licence Test-ing Centres optimally in order to fully ad-dress the needs of residents across the city,”said Jacobs.

Taxi driver owes R92 400 in finesHANRIE BOSCH

A TAXI DRIVER with R92 400’s worth ofoutstanding traffic fines was arrested onSunday 3 July in Somerset Road, GreenPoint.

The 33-year-old suspect from Gugulethu,who had 86 warrants of arrest outstanding fortraffic-related offences, was arrested as part ofongoing efforts to recover outstanding trafficfines owed to City of Cape Town Traffic Servic-es. The suspect, driving a Toyota minibus, wastransporting passengers from Cape Town CBD

to Sea Point when he was stopped by trafficofficers.

He appeared in the City Hall Magistrate’sCourt in Cape Town on Monday 4 July. Hecould not post the R20 000 bail, and is currentlybeing detained at Pollsmoor Prison. His nextcourt appearance is scheduled for 12 August.

“We appeal to all road users to comply withthe rules of the road and pay your fines whenyou transgress the law,” says Kevin Jacobs,spokesperson for Traffic Services.

As part of its ongoing efforts to recover un-paid fines, traffic officers conduct daily road-blocks as well as door-to-door house visits to

recover monies owed to the City.Members of the public are urged to make a

concerted effort to settle their fines and out-standing warrants so as not to be caught outin one of the roadblocks.

Jacobs says Traffic Services have impound-ed 755 minibus and sedan taxis this year aloneas part of their enforcement programmesacross the city that focus on common drivingviolations, unroadworthy vehicles and otheroffences. “These statistics are alarming. Weurge taxi owners to ensure that their vehiclesare roadworthy. Our officers are vigilant anddetermined, and will do all that they can to

keep the roads safe,” said Jacobs.. According to Warrant Officer Khunjulwa

Sam, spokesperson for the Cape Town CentralPolice Station, there were numerous success-es over the weekend in the CBD.

Thirty cars had been stopped and searched;261 people were searched, resulting in six peo-ple being arrested for possession of tik and 11units of tik being seized, aswell as threepeoplebeing arrested for possession of dagga.

In the ongoing fight against car-breakings,one person was arrested for possession of car-breaking implements and three arrested fortheft out of motor vehicles.

Vehicle firesare a realityON AVERAGE, South Africans spend 7 220hours commuting, a total of 300days, ina life-time. With such an everyday task, drivers of-ten lose consideration for potential risks andmalfunction such as vehicle fires.

Vehicles contain materials capable of fuel-ling fires, such as rubber, leather and othercombustibles such as petrol and oil.

Within a vehicle’s electrical system andbattery, hydrogengasdevelops fromtheelec-trolysis reaction, which can ignite, causinga fire. When confronted with a vehicle fire,ER24 advises drivers to:

. Calmly indicate a lane change and bringthe vehicle to a stop at the side of the road.

. Switch off the vehicle completely and re-move the keys from the ignition.

. Calmly exit the vehicle, paying attentionto oncoming traffic and assist any passen-gers in doing the same.

. Move a safe distance away from the vehi-cle, keeping any onlookers away from the ve-hicle.

. Notify the emergency services and warnany oncoming traffic; and

. Never attempt to put out the fire them-selves unless they have a fire extinguisherand know how to use it properly.

“Follow these instructions in the event ofa vehicle fire and keep in mind that openingthe bonnet of a vehicle which may be on fire,can be very hazardous, as the sudden rushof air onto the flames can cause the fire tointensify rapidly.”

Manhurt inharbouraccidentA MAN was injured yesterday morn-ing when he was pinned between aship’s hull and a forklift.

The incident occurred at about 09:30at the Cape Town Harbour when theman, believed to be in his late thirties,was working in a cargo hold of a ship,cleaning the interior.

A forklift was being used to movelarge crates and other pieces aroundin the cargo hold.

The forklift then allegedly lost trac-tion and started to skid before collid-ing with the worker, pinning himagainst the hull.

When ER24 paramedics arrived atthe scene, they found the man lying onthe deck of the ship.

He had sustained an injury to his legand was in severe pain.

The ship’s on-board crane was usedto lift the injured worker off of the shipand onto the dock.

The man was then treated at thescene for a soft tissue injury before be-ing transported to Cape Town Medi-clinic for further medical care.

Andre Visser, from ER24, said thatthese types of industrial accidents arenot uncommon, but could not com-ment on whether proper safety pre-cautions had been taken at the har-bour to prevent these types of acci-dents.

People’s Post also contacted the po-lice, but they said they were unawareof the incident.

LEONARDO DA VINCI,who was born in Vinci,near Florence in 1452, isknown for his visionaryideas. He made sketches ofscissors, the parachute,helicopter, airplanes and

engineering designs, some of which onlycame into use 400 years after his death in1519. – (www.didyouknow.org)

‘A haven for dealers, loafers and criminals’HANRIE BOSCH

THE Grand Parade is being la-belled a “dumping ground

for illegal activities” rangingfrom drug dealing to the sale ofstolen goods.

It is also said to be a haven forpickpockets and petty thieves.

One stall holder says crime on theGrand Parade, which had been un-dergoing upgrades to the value ofR21 million since 2008 (“Parade up-grade begins”, People’s Post, 1 July2008) is driving them out of busi-ness.

Others blame the closure of thestation deck market for the upsurgein crime.

Riedewaan Charles, interimchairperson of the Grand Parade market fo-rum, has been a trader there for over 20 years,and says he has personally witnessed numer-ous illegal activities taking place at theGrand Parade.

“In recent times I have witnessed eightdrug deals and three cellphones being stolen.I have also been threatened with my life if Ikeep on speaking to the police and tell themto arrest people here.”

Charles attended a police imbizo lastmonth in Cape Town, and pleaded with policeofficers to do more to ensure a safe environ-ment for both traders and shoppers in the ar-ea.

Captain Edward Mpofu, sector commanderfor the Parade and station deck area, says pre-venting crimes, especially those that are drugrelated, is not as simple as it might seem.

“The drug dealers on the Parade do nothave a permanent structure that they operatefrom. Instead they move around constantlyfrom one area to another, and when we domanage to apprehend them they swallow thedrugs.”

According to Mpofu, there has been a dras-tic reduction in thenumberof vendors sellingillegal and fake goods in recent years, due totheir concerted efforts to improve the area.

Tasso Evangelinos, chairperson for theCentral City Improvement District (CCID),says that even though the area falls outsidetheir jurisdiction, they will be placing a mo-bile security kiosk at the Grand Parade outof their own initiative in order to help wherethey can.

“The crimes in the area are opportunisticcrimes, because there are a lot people and alot of places to hide. It is not as if we are deal-ing with a syndicate.”

Henry Giddy, chairperson of the Communi-ty Police Forum (CPF), says although thereseems to be a major crime problem in the ar-ea, very few complaints are being logged withthe police.

“This area has only had about one or twocomplaints logged with police in recentweeks, and this does not justify assigning re-sources to the area.”

But for Charles the problems currently fac-

ing the Grand Parade, and his livelihood,come down to the fact that the area can notadequately compete with the formal businesssector.

“We are losing customers because shop-ping malls are safer, there are no drugs andpeople have peace of mind that their belong-ings will not be stolen. The crime is runningus out of business.”

But JP Smith, Mayoral Committee Memberfor Safety and Security, says the traders areideally positioned to compete with the formalsector.

“Traders in that area pay a nominal ratethat is massively subsidised. They are trad-ing on premium land that they pay a fractionof the price for, whereas formal businesses inthe area have to pay a much higher, market-related rate.

“The City has spent a lot of money in recentyears upgrading the area, and most of thetraders are impaired by their own doing, aswas the case a few years back when kioskowners were promoting illegal activities,” hesays.

Paul Williamson, of the City of Cape Town’sBusiness Areas Management, Economic andHuman Development Department, says:“City officials met with the Grand ParadeTrader Associations on 31 May regardingthese same issues that are raised here, anddiscussed how these issues can be taken for-ward. The City has most certainly acknowl-edged the importance of the informal econo-my and the informal sector specifically.”

Charles is passionate about the area, andwants it to be restored to its former glory, say-ing: “The Grand Parade is steeped in historyand culture, with most of the stalls beingpassed down from generation to generation,in some cases going as for back as 50 years.I am passionate about it. If I was not, I wouldnot have been here for 20 years.”

A history fresh in the memory Happy birthday MadibaTERESA FISCHER

NELSON MANDELA, or Madiba as heis fondly known, turns 93 on MondayJuly 18, and will spend his birthdayquietly with family and friends.

Sello Hatang, Nelson Mandela Founda-tion spokesperson, says this is part ofmaking Mandela’s retirement a reality.

Mandela Day on 18 July is recognisedas an annual international day of human-itarianaction in celebrationofhis life andlegacy.

Hatang says the bestway for people to cele-brate is to make a com-mitment to spend 67minutes of their timemaking a positivechange in their com-munity. This honoursthe 67 years Mandeladevoted to the serviceof humanity.

Kensington’s Da-wood Khan, communi-ty activist and human-itarian, shares his fa-vourite memory ofMandela. He says onthe day of Mandela’srelease from prison, itwas his job to organisethe cars.

“Hundreds of peoplelined the road. Therewere lots of white people; this one womanhad a baby. He went over and picked thebaby up. It really touched me; I will neverforget that.

“That is the way South Africa should be… black, white, pink together.”

Khan says he would like to sing forMandela and wishes him many moreyears.

Ahmed Kathrada spent 26 years in pris-on, 18 on Robben Island. He says one thingMandela has repeated over and overagain is: “I am not a saint; I have short-comings like anyone else.”

He says: “Mandela always looks at thegood in human beings; that’s how hiswhole life has been lived.”

About their time in prison Kathradasays: “One longs for many things, there

are many deprivations; you long for nearand dear ones, others miss food or sport– but the one thing every prisoner wouldmiss is children.

“I saw a child for the first time in 20years by accident. She was the daughterof a lawyer that came to see me, and sherefused to wait in the car. It was a thrillout of this world.

“I was so overwhelmed by little Priya(3) that I couldn’t concentrate on what thelawyer was saying; I was just stroking herhair.” He says that’s why Mandela donat-ed one third of his salary,whenhebecame

president, to the Nel-son Mandela’s Chil-dren’s Fund.

“Freedom did notjust fall from heaven,many people went toprison, many werehanged, many weretortured to death ...freedom had a price,”says Kathrada in re-ply to whether hethinks the youth ap-preciate the strugglesthat were made.

“The biggest chal-lenge is ignorance,”he says, adding thathe is not blamingyoung people, butwants them to thinkabout the responsibil-ities that come with

their freedom.Blanche la Guma says her contribution

to the struggle against apartheid wasworking under the guidance and direc-tion of Mandela, carrying out his instruc-tions.

With her husband, Alex, she participat-ed in various campaigns to bring about anend to apartheid laws.

“We celebrated Mandela’s release, af-ter 27 years in prison, in Trafalgar Squarein London with all the other South Afri-can exiles, the British Anti-apartheidMovement and all the organisations thatwere formed against apartheid. All of usin the exile community, packed up to re-turn home.”

La Guma adds: “I wish Madiba a veryhappy birthday.”

SHAUNA STACK

ABOUT a month ago, “Long Walk to Freedom”was just required reading in the form of an au-tobiography about a historically significantman by the name of Nelson Mandela.

Almost three weeks later, that name hasgrown in meaning tenfold.

From a foreign perspective, it is fascinatingto see how much South Africa’s history is rawand fresh.

Underneath the inevitable problems thatany emerging country will face, lies a countrythat fosters one of the most cultural and di-verse parts of the world.

This diversity now has the opportunity tobe celebrated, after so many years of in-grained suppression.

The people I have encountered embody dis-parity amongst socio-economic classes.

However, they have inherent tendenciesthat unknowingly unite them.

I’m curious to know if Nelson Mandela him-self uses the terms, “now now” and “just now”.

When my peers and I visited the District SixMuseum, I found myself discussing the emo-

tional impact on thepeoplewithanativeCape-tonian.

The way he elaborated made it clear – he hadspent the first 27 years of his life in DistrictSix until he was relocated because of his an-cestry.

As a genuine history enthusiast, I have vis-ited my fair share of museums, but never haveI interacted with a victim of the historicalevents at hand.

That is what makes South Africa so uniquein its current politics.

There are true witnesses to the past lookingover a new generation who can be guided byprevious mistakes towards the future.

In celebration of Nelson Mandela’s birth-day, I commend his people for continuing tocelebrate the efforts of a man who has foreverchanged the face of this beautiful nation.

So I conclude by wishing Madiba a very hap-py birthday, and thank the people of CapeTown for making my fellow peers and I feelwelcome as an integral part of the diversitythat South Africa offers.

A LEGEND: GeorginaWilliams from Ath­lone says Madiba’sstrength is legen­dary. “He fought forwhat he believed,and stood up againstthousands. He wassentenced to prison,but he was victoriousand apartheid ended.If it wasn’t for him,we would not be liv­ing in the democratic country which we live intoday. Happy birthday Madiba, we love you andwish you the best.” Photo: Reyana Steyn

A GREAT LEADER:Francois Booysenfrom Mitchell’sPlain says NelsonMandela is a greatleader, someoneeveryone shouldlook up to. “Hebrought about de­mocracy andfought hard to endapartheid. He hasdone many thingsfor the country. He is a true leader, and we areblessed that he is still with us at his age.” Photo:Reyana Steyn

Eskom increases continue to shockHANRIE BOSCSH

THE provision of electricity in SouthAfrica has become a sensitive topic,

withdebatesandaccusations flaringupevery time “Eskom” is mentioned –even more so since the price of electrici-ty has gone up yet again.

Electricity tariffs increased from July 1by almost 20%. This comes after last year’sincrease of 24,6%, and there is no relief insight for consumers, as the price is set toincrease by another estimated 16% nextyear, according to a National Energy Regu-lator of South Africa (NERSA) decisiontaken in February 2010.

Eskom has increased its bulk sellingprice to the City of Cape Town by 26,7%,and the City has passed on an increase of19,94% to its resident consumers.

This increase has meant that an averagehousehold with two children and twoadults who consume around 800 units ofelectricity a month and paid R797 a month,will now have to pay R936 a month.

And this increase means that cash-strapped residents and consumers willhave to tighten their belts even more.

In the light of recent Eskom price in-creases across the city, People’s Post tookto the streets to find out how this will affectresidents in the CBD and Atlantic Sea-board areas.

Ilhaam Benjamin is a flower seller in theCBD with six children at home, and feelsthat the recent price increases will nega-tively affect her life: “I must pay R50 a dayalready for electricity. It’s just not fair.They (Eskom executives) get increases andwe must pay. If I did not have a prepaidelectricity box I would have been in debt.”

Another CBD resident, Swazi Qeja, alsofeels that the recent price increases are toomuch: “I am unemployed, and I will haveeven less money. It’s bad and very unfair.”

Alex Musampa, also from the CBD, feelsthat Eskom is increasing their prices to letpeople who pay subsidise those who do notpay.

“The thing we need to know is why theyare increasing the price. There are peoplein townships who are not paying for elec-tricity, even though they work, and nowwe have to subsidise them. We can’t go toour bosses every time electricity increasesand tell them to pay us more.”

But on the other side of the city, at GreenPoint and Sea Point, residents are less con-cerned about the impact that the price in-creases will have on their lives, but ratherquestion where the money is actually go-ing. Harold Friedman questions whetherthe price increases are necessary, consid-ering Eskom showed a substantial profit inthe last financial year: “The money is notgoing where it should. It is used to paytheir (Eskom executives’) salary increas-es. My rent pays for everything, so it doesnot affect me directly, but the electricityincreaseswill cause other things, like food,to go up too.”

Lesley Denning feels that the increaseswill not affect her that much, saying: “Iwill not do anything different.” She alsoquestions whether it is really fair towardsthe public to implement electricity in-creases. “If you are going to charge morefor power, we should at least be able to getit when we want, without power outagesand shortages. Eskom should stop supply-ing electricity to Zimbabwe and making uspay for it.”

Junaid Musseh feels that the increasesare an outrage, especially in light of the re-cent salary increases for Eskom execu-tives.

“Everyone would like an answer as towhy they receivedan increase, andnowwealso have to pay more. I don’t mind an in-crease, but the amount by which they in-creased it is ridiculous.”

Lesley Den­ning says thatshe will not benegatively af­fected by thenew price in­creases, butfeels for thosewho will.

I’jaaz crowned Quasida champsREYANA STEYN

THE I’Jaaz Quasida Group hasbeen crowned the winners ofCape Town’s first ever QuasidaTalent Show.

The group from Mitchell’sPlain, was chosen from sevengroups who performed on Satur-day 2 July at the Bellville Thea-tre.

Hundreds of people from allwalks of life braved the cold tosee who would take away theprestigious title.

Quasida is a form of lyric poet-ry that originated in Arabia. Lat-er, in 1890, it was used by ImamKeyaamodien du Toit in Paarl.

The show was organised byRajie Devajee, Jamal Mukadd-am and Ganie Parker.

It is presented by Zindah Productions andVoice of the Cape (VOC) radio station.

People’s Post previously reported that allQuasida groups were invited to participatefor the winning spot. All the entrants wereshowcased on Voice of the Cape (VOC) radiostation. and the winners went through toperform in Bellville. They were judged ontheir performance, uniformity and also thecapabilities of their voice (“Quasida revivalreceives strong boost,” 28 June).

Seven Quasida groups were selected toperform on the night. Four groups were thenshort-listed and selected as finalists, and theI’Jaaz Quasida group walked away with thetop prize.

“It was great to see the talent come aliveon the night,” says Mukaddam, who isknown for his contributions to the theatreworld, such as the production “The worldunseen”.

“Audiences were blown away as the sevengroups who performed on the night took tothe stage. The number of people who enteredand the people who attended the eventshows that there is a need for a talent showof this calibre, and that’s why it has been de-cided that it will be an annual event.”

Mukaddam added that all the groups whoperformed on the night were “phenomenal”,but in the end it was the I’Jaaz QuasidaGroup who stood out.

The winners walked away with a floatingtrophy and R5 000 in cash.

Parker, who is a producer and presenterof “Ramadaan at Four” and was the produc-tion director of the Quasida talent show,says the show was a “huge success”.

The organisers say they are negotiating tohave the I’Jaaz Quasida group along withthe other three groups who were short-listedon the night, perform in Johannesburg.

“We want to showcase their talent and al-so invite people from Johannesburg to enterfor the following Quasida Talent show,”says Mukaddam.

“The next competition will be early to midnext year. We are hoping we can make theQuasida talent show better than this year’sone, and therefore we want the groups to beready.”

Groups who enter should be no more than10 members, and individuals must be aged12 and older.

They will be judged on their live perform-ance, uniformity and also the capabilities oftheir voice.

For more information, or if you want tolearn more about Quasida or join a Quasidagroup, contact Devajee on 083 480 4313, Mu-kaddam on 076 651 9946 or Parker on079 135 7756. Alternatively send an email toganieparker@gmail.com to inquire abouthow groups can go about entering for nextyear’s Quasida Talent show.

wards an international standard and be-ing able to compete with other cities on aninternational level.”

Nadine Bezuidenhout is brimming withpride to be a Capetonian, saying: “Thismakes me even more proud to be living inthe most beautiful place in the world. Thisis a really well-deserved title that I hopeCape Town will receive.”

SA’s greatestNEXT week, on Monday 18 July, scores of SouthAfricans will come together and celebrate the lifeof one of the world’s most celebrated and re-nowned leaders.

Rolihlahla Nelson Mandela, South Africa’sfirst democratically elected president turns 93years old.

And in contrast to traditionally sharing hisbirthday with scores of adoring young fans, thisnational hero will retreat from the public eye thisyear to celebrate with family and friends at anundisclosed venue.

From humble beginnings, born in a small East-ern Cape village decades ago, this esteemed lead-er has come to represent what all South Africansshould arguably aspire towards becoming.

And what is truly remarkable is that after 27years in a Robben Island jail cell, he was releasedto want nothing more than to sit around a tablewith his oppressor, and thereby encourage a na-tion to exercise the power of forgiveness.

His sheer generosity of spirit, gentlenatureandempathy is something which remains unrivalledby any one key leadership figure in South Africa.This “Madiba magic” manifests in the fact thatall sorts look up to him.

His fans are not limited only to those who sharesupport of the same political party he had helpedto mobilise in the fight for freedom and equality.

Madiba magic transcends politics.It has al-lowed people to look past the political figure, andidentify with the man.

While celebratory and commemoratory cam-paigns roll out nationally this month, a numberof campaigns to commemorate this joyous occa-sion from the unveiling honorary artworks toothers committing 67 minutes to make a positivechange within their community, in his honour.Perhaps the most lasting gift we can give is to ap-preciate each other and what the country hasachieved.

Along with the rest of South Africa People’sPost salutes a legend, who will forever be thebenchmark we South Africans should strive to at-tain.

Happy Birthday, Madiba!

Let us help our neighbours“DOUBLE Tragedy in Tamboerskloof” onTuesday 5 July refers.

My deepest sympathy to the family whohave lost their loved ones. This tragedy hasbeen a wake-up call for me, and it is myprayer that it will be for you too.

With a grieved heart, I realised that thereare so many precious people living aroundus who are suffering from depression, deephurt and loneliness and struggling throughit alone.

They feel so lonely in a crowd of people be-cause they’re wrestling with hurt that onlythey know about. They wonder if anyonewould even care? What they need is a kindstranger, a smile, a true friend and someoneto talk to. They need to know that someonedoes care! They are crying out for love andlooking for it in all the wrong places. Theyneed a saviour. There are many young peo-ple without parents, many elderly people,single women and parents living around uswith many needs, be it great or small. If weopen our hearts we would see that simplyasking if they need any assistance, or takingthem a pot of food could make such a differ-ence. I am a single young woman who lostmy father due to a tragic accident one-and-half years ago and I speak from experience.

Every day we encounter people who wecanseearedepressedorhurting, yetwedon’tconsider taking time to talk to them. Wethink that because we don’t know them, weare not held responsible to talk to them orhelp them. We fear what they may think ofus if we do talk to them.

The truth is, we are so consumed with our-selves! We have become so concerned abouttemporary, meaningless things, such as

houses, clothes, cars and money. We worryso much about our own lives and problems,that we have become totally blind to the lone-liness, needs, greater problems and hurtssuffered by people under our very noses.

Today we stand before a saviour, but some-day in the future we will all have to standbefore a Judge and be held accountable forthe things that really matter.

He will not be concerned about how big ourhouses were, which car we had, how muchmoney we acquired, what we accomplished,how famous we were or what colour our skinwas! No, only two things will matter whenwe stand before him:

1) Did we know him?2) What did we do for Him?I have met so many people (women and

men) on my path in the past few months whohave told me that they tried to, or wanted tocommit suicide. It is overwhelming! I wantyou to know, there is hope! I have witnessedmany recover beautifully.

My cry to be heard, is that as God’s peoplewho are called to be led by the spirit to dis-cern the hidden hurts and needs of others,we would allow him to lead us, work throughus and enable us to hear his voice and seethose around us through his eyes.

He is pleading: Arise from sleep. The har-vest is great, but the labourers are few!

My prayer is this, Lord forgive us for beingso self-centred, so hard-hearted, so judge-mental. Breathe your life into us, open oureyes so that we would see what you see. Helpus lay down our lives for others as you havefor us and let us start in our neighbourhood.MICHELLETamboerskloof

Plaid in four-part harmonyREHEARSALS are under way at the Club-house in Pinelands for an off-Broadwaymusical comedy by the Pinelands Players.

“Forever Plaid” is described as a “deli-ciously goofy revue” that centres on fouryoung, eager male singers killed in a carcrash in the 1950s as they were on the wayto their first big concert.

Now, they are miraculously revived forthe posthumous chance to fulfil theirdreams and perform the show that neverwas.

Singing in the closest of harmony,squabbling boyishly over the smallest in-tonations and executing their outlandishchoreography with over-zealous preci-sion, the “Plaids” deliver a programme ofbeloved songs and delightful patter.

Varying walks of life add to the interest-ing characters involved in the show. Thecast is Simon Speck as Francis, the leaderof the group who is also asthmatic; JohnLambrou as Jinx, the clown; Chris Laurieas Sparky, shy, nervous and subject tonosebleeds, and Richard White asSmudge, a worry pot.

The show is directed by June Wells andthe musical director is Victor Tichart.

“Forever Plaid” will be performed at thePinelands Town Hall on Friday 29 July,Saturday 30 July and Wednesday 3 Augustto Saturday 6 August.

Tickets cost R100, and include an Ameri-can diner-style meal. For bookings, call072 923 1035 or email bgough@tel-komsa.net.

MADS (Muizenberg Dramatic Society) pro-duces this coarse acting spectacular by au-thors David McGillivray and Walter Zerlinjunior, under the guidance of Miranda Lewis.

Having previously directed for the Sentinel

Players, Miranda now makes her Masque di-rectional debut. Her award-winning perform-ances give her the depth to garner the bestcharacterisation from her cast.

Audiences will revel in the recognition oftypical theatrical gaffes in this hilariousspoof.

Showsare fromFriday 22 toSaturday 30Ju-ly (excluding Sunday to Wednesday). Weeknights are at 20:00 and Saturdays at 14:30 and18:30. Tickets are R50 for Saturday matineesand Thursday evenings, and R60 for the restof the shows. (Masque Theatre Club membersenjoy a R10 discount).

To book, phone Masque Theatre Bookingson (021) 788-1898.

THE CAST: The colourful characters of the play include, from left, “June”, played by MelanieJessop, “Marty”, played by Jacqui Bloomer and “Lady Madge”, played by Lynn Moss. Photo: Supplied

Coetzee’s Currie Cup cauldronTASMIN CUPIDO

ALLISTER COETZEE, hiscoaching team and the DHLWestern Province squad nowturn their sights on the AbsaCurrie Cup, which kicks offwith a match against the GWKGriquas at DHL Newlands onSaturday.

And after the DHL Stormerswere again elbowed out of theplay-off stage of the Super Rugbycompetition two weeks ago, the

Cape side will be looking to winback the hearts of their under-standably disappointed support-ers by bringing home the covetedtrophy.

But for the Province boys win-ning the competition will be achallenge, as their injury list con-tinues to grow while key playersjoin the Sprinbok Tri-Nations andWorld Cup squads. Scraping to-gether a half-decent team to chal-lenge this campaign may be diffi-cult for Coetzee. Players such Ryn-hardt Elstadt, Dewaldt

Duvenhage, Lionel Cronje and Pi-eter Louw remain sidelined withinjuries, but are expected to beready during the course of thecampaign. During the Super Rug-by campaign, critics spoke out onthe seemingly evident lack ofdepth within the Stormers squad.

Young players such as JohannSadie, Stephen Kitshoff, KurtColeman and JJ Engelbrecht weregiven an opportunity to showcasetheir talent on the highly-competi-tive stage, succeeding to a large ex-tend. Yet a move that concerned

many was Coetzee’s decision tocall on Griquas flyhalf, Earl Rose,when Peter Grant, Gary van As-wegen and Lionel Cronje were in-jured. But many will be hopingthat moves such as this will nothappen throughout the CurrieCup, which is largely seen as anopportunity for exciting, new tal-ent to be found. Selecting a captainwill be first on Coetzee’s to-do-list,with scrumhalf Duvenhage likelyto take the reigns on his returnfrom injury – which could be asearly as Province’s second match

against the Leopards at Newlandson Saturday 30 July.

In all, Coetzee will be looking atthis Currie Cup campaign as anopportunity to expose youngstersto a larger platform, while alsobuilding on squad depth.

. The match against the Gri-quas kicks-off at 15:00, with a cur-tain raiser between the DHL West-ern Province women’s team andEP women’s team starting at 12:55.

Tickets are available from Com-puticket and the Newlands ticketoffice.

TASMIN CUPIDO

CREATING a platform for youngsoccer players to possibly makestrides within the footballingworld has always been the un-derlying goal of the under-17 En-gen Knockout Challenge – andthis year the goal will be no dif-ferent.

The launch and official draw ofthe annual tournament was held atAthlone Stadium on Wednesdayevening. Captains and club offi-cials, as well as representatives ofSAFA Cape Town and the tourna-ment’s various sponsors all waited

in anticipation to see which teamswould go head to head on the week-end of 29 to 31 July.

The tournament will again beheld at the Stephen Reagon SportsComplex in Westridge, Mitchell’sPlain.

In its eighth year, the EngenKnockout Challenge gives teamsfrom 16 teams the opportunity toshowcase their talent in 48matches.

One of the key rules and life skillelements of the tournament is thatteams stay throughout the durationof the tournament in an attempt tolearn from and support their peers.

Top players such as TasleemPaulse (Engen Santos) and Zairon

van Beulen (Engen Santos) used thetournament as a stepping stone intheir footballing careers. The cham-pions of this year’s tournament willreceive R10 000 and kit from Umbro(technical sponsors), while the los-ing finalists will get R2 500 in prizemoney.

Dominated by Engen Santos andAjax Cape Town since its inception,the likes of Old Mutual Academy,Vasco da Gama and defendingchampions, African Soccer Devel-opment (ASD), will be looking toagain possibly trump the “bigname” clubs at this year’s tourna-ment. The first- and second-placedteams in each group will advance to

the knockout phase over the week-end. Individual awards will also bepresented to the player of tourna-ment, top goalscorer, best goalkeep-er, first hat-trick scorer, best man-ager and best referee, while a fairplay award will go to the club to themost disciplined club.

At the launch, Eric Gum, deputypresident of SAFA Cape Town, re-vealed that the tournament will beseenas trials for the regionalunder-17 team. “We will use this tourna-ment to scout players; we have anumber of scouts who will be outand about that weekend,” Gumsaid.

From this team, a provincial

team will be elected to participatein the under-17 national champion-ships in December.

The four seeded teams for thetournament were Santos, Ajax, Vas-co da Gama and ASD.

Group A: Ajax Cape Town, Ore-gan Spurs, Kensington and Edge-mead.

Group B: Vasco da Gama, CapeTown FA, Bothasig and Masidlale.

Group C: ASD, Juventus, BalticRangers and Trinitarians.

Group D: Engen Santos, Old Mu-tual, Bayhill and Blue Downs.
