OPPOSITION: APPLICATION WITH CITY

Riled overantennaeASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

An application for a rooftop telecommu-nication station inKenilworth is beingmet with opposition.

The application, which has been lodgedwith theCity ofCapeTown,wasmadeby twocellphone providers for the rooftop for Clair-wood Flats in First Avenue.The application is for a six-panel antennae

and two microwave dishes to be attached tothe existing elevator shaft, as well as the lo-cation od equipment containers on therooftop.Clairwood Flats resident Tracey Kantor,

who rents an apartment, is concerned aboutpeople who own apartments in the complex.“I am sure no one wants to move because

of an antennae, but if you consider thehealth risks thenyouhave todecidewhetheryou will be able to live with it,” she says.Kantor says a problem she haswith the in-

stallation, if approved, is that it will be rightnext to a pre-school and very close to a hos-pice.“I do not know if parents will be happy to

have their children so close to the antenna.I would not want my children to be exposedto that signal,” she says.CherylWalters, theCity’s director of Plan-

ning and Building Development Manage-ment, says the department is processing aconsent application which is currently be-ing advertised to interested and affected par-ties.“The impact of the rooftop-base telecom-

munication station will be evaluated afterthe period for public participation has beenconcluded and the applicant has commentedon the objections, if any,” Walters says.

She says the rooftop-base telecommunica-tion station can only be erected if the appli-cation for consent is granted.Given the complex decision-making proc-

ess, it is not possible to say when the finaldecision would be made.Walters further says the department is not

sure if there will be any effect on the valueof properties, but this will be investigated ifobjections in this regard are received.Mayoral Committee member for Health

Lungiswa James says the national Depart-ment of Health is responsible for radiationcontrol.The department regulates electronic prod-

ucts producing non-ionising electromagnet-ic fields.“Measurement surveys conducted by the

department’s specialised environmentalhealth staff have confirmed that, to date, theresult of public exposure from cellmasts andtheir related emissions is invariably only afraction of the InternationalCommissiononNon-Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-NIRP) guidelines,” James says.“This is usually between less than one to

4% of the ICNIRP guidelines, even as closeas 25m from the source of exposure.”This echoes the findings from elsewhere

in South Africa and around the world,James adds.“Weare confident that, basedon this infor-

mation and provided that all of the regulato-ry control measures are put in place and ad-hered to, public health will not be compro-mised,” James says.Vodacom senior specialist Ashleigh Dub-

belman says the new site should noticeablyimprove connection quality and speed,meaning a better experience for smart-phones, tablets and computers.“Base stations operate at extremely low

power levels – much lower than TV and ra-dio transmitters – which work on similarfrequencies,” she says.Dubbelman says the network in the area

is running close to capacity, therefore theyare working to get this site up and runningas soon as possible.

BUILDING BLOCKS FOR THE FUTURE: More than 90 000 Grade 1 pupils across theprovince started school for the first time on Wednesday 15 January. There were tearsand laughter as pupils lined up to get a glimpse of their new schools.

SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMS: MATRICS PREPARE FOR ROUND TWO

Chance to re-write your futureLAILA MAJIET

@laila_newsie

Pupils who did not meet the require-ments to obtain their Matric certifi-cate are bracing themselves for round

two.Supplementary exams are set to begin in

February and continue until March.The closing date for applications is Fri-

day 24 January.Candidates who have failed a maximum

of two subjects qualify to re-write.Those who passed only three subjects

may apply to write the 2014 National SeniorCertificate (NSC) exams.

Provincial education minister DonaldGrant says pupils whoweremedically unfitto sit for oneormore exammayalso registerfor the supplementary exams. They must,however, provide a medical certificate.

Candidateswho provide documentary ev-idence showing that he or she qualifies foradmission to a university or for an occupa-tion, but does not satisfy the university’s re-quirements or the requirements for the spe-cific occupation can also register to re-writea maximum of two subjects.

Class actThe provincial matric class of 2013 has

plenty to celebrate. Despite dropping tofourth place overall, the provincial educa-tion department says teachers and pupilscan be proud as there have been improve-ments in all areas, Grant says.

Increasing the number of candidateswriting and passing the NSC exams is oneof the strategic priorities within the depart-ment, as it reflects the retention rate of pu-pils.

It is essential that the drop-out rate is re-duced and pupils have the opportunity towrite and ultimately pass their matric ex-ams, Grant says. “In 2013, we had a recordnumber of 40 558 candidates passing theNSC exams with a provincial pass rate of85.1%.Weareverypleased thatwe exceededour stretch target of 40 000 passes and thatthe pass rate increased while the number ofcandidates grew so significantly.”

The total of 40 558 is the highest numberof passes yet achieved in the province sincethe inception of the NSC exams.

Ban printing matric resultsAnd while successful candidates were

thrilled to finally see their names in print,the Congress of SouthAfrican Students (Co-sas) is demanding newspapers no longerpublish matric results.

Western Cape convenor SiphakamiseNgxowa says the congress plans to launch

a campaign toburnnewspaperswhichprintthe names of pupils who have passed mat-ric.

Cosas believes printing the results is a vi-olation of candidates’ privacy.

“Printing matric results is of no benefitto pupils. The only ones who have some-thing to gain from this practice are thenewspapers who are cashing in on publish-ing these results,” Ngxowa says.

Muhammad Khalid Sayed, provincialconvenor of the ANC Youth League, agrees.

“To some it may be gratifying to see theirname in the newspaper, but to many it isembarrassing because too much undue in-formation ismade public, like access to uni-versity and not getting a distinction whenhigh expectations were created,” he says.

Cosas has engaged withMinister of BasicEducation Angie Motshekga about theirconcerns.

Sayed says theANCYL supports demandsby Cosas to Motshekga to desist from pub-lishing the names of those who have passedmatric. “This key milestone in life shouldrather be acknowledged by the school, fami-

ly and the person involved without havingto go to agents or third parties,” he adds.

Future plansThe class of 2013 say while they are glad

their exams are a thing of the past, the un-certainty of their future is frightening.

Having obtained a Bachelor’s Pass, Kev-onne Lees (18) says she plans on studyingGraphic Design, but is not yet certain ofwhere shewill study. “I amweighing upmyoptions. It has been a bit stressful havingto make a decision, but it is also exciting asI am about to begin a new journey,” shesays.

AmyMekeur (18) was elated on receivingher results. She is expected to studyB.Comm General at the University of theWestern Cape. “I am excited and scared asI do not knowwhat to expect in terms of theworkload. But I am also happy and relievedthat I was accepted.”V Call the Exams Helpline on (021) 467 2300 onweekdays between 08:00 and 18:00 for all examrelated issues.

HARFIELD VILLAGE: RESIDENT HARASSED BY VAGRANT

A good deedgoes punishedASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Harfield Village resident claims sheis being harassed by a homeless mandaily.

Now she has resorted to reporting theman to the police as she fears for her safety.

Thewomanwhospoke to thePeople’sPoston condition of anonymity admitted to giv-ing the man money at some point. Now hereturns demanding for more, she says.

“I gave himmoney, because he has a littlegirl with him and he told me she is hungry.I did not think twice about helping him, butnow he keeps on coming back,” she says.

The man sits in front of her drivewaywaiting for her to leave her house so thathe can ask her for money.

“He is always in this road and knocks onmydoor. There are timeswhen he cries andI do not know how to deal with the situa-tion,” she says.

Chairperson of the Claremont ClusterCommunity Policing Forum Liz William-son says no one has heard anything aboutthe homeless man until now.

“I spoke to the community as well as thepolice cluster office, but I have not been in-

formed of anything. However, the personmust call theClaremontSector liaisonoffic-er, Colleen Luiz, and she will assist thewoman in a flash,” she says.

Williamson believes the reason for theman’s return could be because the womangave hime money in the past. “There arehomeless people collecting broken ma-chines, clothes and anything else whichpeople give them. The minute they get any-thing, they will come back, as they knowthey will get again,” Williamson says.

“Residents need to be aware of the conse-quences when giving to a homeless personwho comes knocking at their door. Thisopens the ‘door’ for them to return.”

Her advice to the resident is to not openherdoor. “She should look throughherwin-dow or peephole when someone knocks.Perhaps pretending not being home will de-ter the person from coming back,” she says.

Williamsonadds the local community im-provement district can also assist in find-ing the man a place to stay and possiblyeven reunite him with his family.

“We cannot force a homeless person toleave an area, but we can offer them helpin getting off the streets. Residents need tounderstand it is a long process, but I dowant to encourage people not to give hand-outs, rather give to an organisation whichassists homeless people.”

Residents who come across people whoare aggressive should call their local policefor assistance, but only if they feel theirlives are in danger.

Power to peoplePowering up has become easier this year,as council appoints newprepaid electricityservice providers.

Residentswill nowbe able to buyprepaidelectricity from their cellphones and on-line, as well as from their usual vendors.

A new cellphone vendor has been ap-pointed by council, which will allow con-sumers to now make mobile purchases viaSMS after registering on www.itronener-gy.co.za. Consumers will still be able tomakemobile electricity purchases via EFTfrom www.prepaid24.co.za. Consumerscan register on www.mobilepower.co.zawhere all credit cards and Standard Bank,Nedbank and Absa debit cards are accept-ed.

Capetonians can also log ontowww.ibuy.co.za to order electricity via theinternet with their Mastercard or Visacredit card.

Those who prefer not to use technologycan use a new service provider which willsee scratch cards being made available atall petrol station forecourts.

Point of service outlets will remain as is,with the existing service providers re-ap-pointed.

The new contracts were awarded afterthe previous ones expired, says MayoralCommitteemember forUtility Services Er-nest Sonnenberg. The extra service provid-er was appointed to increase efficiency.

“Should one provider experience techni-cal issues, the consumer will have anotheroption. Consumers will continue to be ableto instantly purchase electricity from thecomfort of their own home.”

There is no cost to the customer in theform of credit fees, he says.

“The only cost the customer carries,whenpurchasing via their cellphone, is theSMS fee their cellphone service providercharges,” Sonnenberg says.

Cape Town resident Lesley Marshal hasbeen using cellphone banking to buy herprepaid electricity and is pleased more op-tions have been made available.

“It’s convenient and fast, and I don’t haveto go to the shop.My family has started tak-ing advantage of it and now always ask meto buy electricity for them,” she says.

X marksthe spotWith the national elections due this

year,many SouthAfricanswill havetheir first opportunity to cast their

vote, while some will be returning to thepolls for their second, third, fourth or fifthnational election.

This year’s elections coincide with the20th anniversary of democracy. People’sPost readers share their views on the pend-ing elections.

APILE DONI will definitely be voting in the elec-tions, as he is tired of corruption. He believes theparty he votes for will be focused on the needsof the country. “It is important to vote becauseof the possibility of change,”

GUY FOSTER is in two minds about making hismark. If he does vote, he says his decision wouldbe based on past experience. “Our country is fastgoing on a downward spiral,” he says.

BRENDAN ARENDSE will not be voting as he be-lieves political parties and politicians are not pro-viding for poor communities. “They want us tovote, but after the elections they are nowhere tobe seen,” he says.

JUNIQUE WELKOM is a registered voter and is ex-cited about casting her first vote in the comingelections. “I do not know much about politics, butI am sure my vote will count and make a differ-ence,” she says.

KABELO EISTEI says voting gives people the free-dom to be part of the country’s future. “I’m notfussy about the change to come because we havecome a long way since 1994,” he says.

STEVEN COETZEE says voting gives people theright to decide who would best lead the country.“I will cast my vote for change, for a better future– not only for myself, but for everyone. Those whodon’t vote should not complain,” he says.

TAREN ANDREWS will only vote once she knowswhat political parties have planned for the fu-ture of youths. “I am excited to cast my votefor the very first time,” she says.

EDUCATION: STELLAR MATRIC RESULTS

Pupils mark abright futureASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

This year’s matric results are to be cele-brated.The provincial minister of educa-

tion Donald Grant says the schools in theWestern Cape has again exceeded allrecords and has improved in four key areasof success.These areas include the number of pass-

ing and the number of quality passes, aswell as the number of underperformingschools which in the last five years reducedfrom 85 in 2009 to 23 in 2013.Grant says the results are credible andac-

curately represent ongoing improvementwithin the education system.“I am very pleased to see further decreas-

es in the number of underperformingschools in theprovince, (but) I acknowledgethere is still much to be done. We will con-tinue to look at howwe canbest support ourschools and (pupils) to achieve lasting sys-temic improvements as per our strategicobjectives,” he says.Grant congratulates the candidates,

teachers, principals and district officialsfor a job well done.Herschel Girls’ School principal Stuart

West says he is exceptionally pleased withthe school’s results, particularly with their100% bachelor degree pass.“The girls’ dedicated work ethic and love

of learning have been the foundation ofthese extraordinary results. We thank theengaged teacherswho knowhow to scaffoldthe appropriate skills, content, values andlearning techniques to draw the most out

of each girl,” he says.West says above all, they celebrate girls

who have given extra in every sphere ofschool and have left a legacy of all-roundedachievement.Head girl LethuNtshinga obtained 10 dis-

tinctions, while Raisa Salie obtained ninedistinctions in English, Afrikaans, Mathe-matics, Mathematics Paper 3, AdvancedProgramme Mathematics, Life Sciences,Accounting, Physical Sciences and VisualArts.Similarly pupils of Groote Schuur High

School are proud of their results.The school's topperformer isChadQuick-

PINELANDS: TAMPERING WITH SAFETY FEATURE

Ropes vandalisedASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

The three ropes suspendedacross theElsieskraal River as a safety meas-ure have been vandalised, leading

to council officials scratching theirheads to find an alternative solution.The ropes, entwined through nets

filled with plastic bottles, were installedlast year after awomanandadog slippedand fell into the overflowing canal.Ward councillor Brian Watkyns says

the slopes along the canal can becomevery slippery during rainstorms andshould be avoided.“Residents are asked to be extra cau-

tious when walking or jogging along thecanal,” he warns.Resident JanaVermeulen says shehas

seen people loitering around the canaland tampering with the safety ropes.“I cannot point a finger and say with

certainty that the people I saw at the ca-nal are responsible for the damage,” shesays.“But I wonder what they are doing

there? The area is quiet at times whichcreates the perfect opportunity for crim-inals to come in and do what they want,so we always have to be alert and awareof who is coming in and out of the area.”Vermeulen and her family regularly

walk and jog along the canal, which theydo at their own risk as they know theycould easily slip and fall into the water.“We are aware of the slopes that get

slippery, but we feel safer knowing thatif we do fall in the river there is some-

thing to hold onto to help us get out.”She hopes that something will be done

to ensure the nets are replaced or thatanother safety measure is installed.Watkyns says he was unaware of that

the nets were damaged. “We will need toassess how (or if possible) to prevent arecurrence.”He says the costs involved to repair the

nets will only be for labour. “I under-stand that the City officials who will re-pair the nets have the materials ready.”But at this stage, there are no plans to

make the river safer.“Many other options were discussed

at a meeting I held with the PinelandsNeighbourhood Watch and City of CapeTown officials and the netting was ac-cepted to be themost feasible option, oth-er than the 42 additional warning signswhich were also erected in Pinelandsand Thornton.”Mayoral Committee member for

Transport, Roads and Stormwater BrettHerron says 35 warning signs have beenerected at critical points across the ca-nal.He says the ropes are angled diagonal-

ly with the river flow to enable someoneholding onto the rope to make their wayto the river bank.“We will look at installing additional

warning signs and floating ropes alongthe canal,” he says.John Berry, chairperson of the Pine-

lands Community Policing Forum, sayslocals need to be aware of their sur-roundings especially when walking orjogging close to the canal.“There are over enough signs erected

which warn people of the dangers of theriver. The signs also indicate what youcan and cannot do along the stretch,” hesays.

two ballets return toMaynardville with thepromise to delight audiences through capti-vating dance of the highest calibre.The Firebird, with music by Stravinsky

and choreography by David Poole, tells thefairytale of Kotchei, an evil magician whocasts a spell on anyone caught in his do-main.Under his spell, he holds a group of young

maidens, all princesses, in captivity at hiscastle. A magical Firebird is captured bythe young prince Ivan Tzarevitch and shebegs him to release her in exchange for amagical featherwithwhichhe can summonher aid at any time.One evening the prince sees the group of

maidens playing in the moonlight and hefalls in love with Tsarevna, one of the prin-cesses.In pursuit of his love, the prince is way-

laid by a horde of demons under Kotchei’s

spell, but the Firebird rescues him and heis reunited with his love.The ballet ends with a wedding scene

where the Firebird blesses the marriage ofthe prince and princess.The roles of the Firebird and prince will

be dancedbyKimVieira (debut) partneringwith Xola Putye; Laura Bosenberg withThomas Thorne (debut); and Mami Fujiwith Ivan Boonzaaier.These are debut roles for both.LesSylphides is theultimate tribute to the

great romantic ballets.With picture-perfect ballerinas fluttering

across the stage wearing long white tutus,it is sheer poetry in motion.Chopin’s beautifulmusic sets the tone for

the serenebeautyof this ethereal andgrace-ful ballet, which was produced by CecilyRobinson for the Capab Ballet Company.The lead partnerships will be Laura

Bosenberg, dancing with Thomas Thorne,and Angela Hansford partnering with Dan-iel Szybkowski, who debuts in the role ofthe poet.V Cape Town City Ballet presents The Firebird andLes Sylphides at Maynardville Open Air Theatre everySunday at 20:15 from 19 January to 16 February. Tickets at R110, R120 or R130 are available through Computicket.

ICONIC: Johnny Clegg is a dancer, anthropologist, singer,songwriter, academic, activist and French knight. Whileall of these tags are fitting, none of them can accuratelydescribe the energetic, passionate human being whohas become one of South Africa’s greatest musical ex-ports. He has campaigned against the injustice of apart-heid and, as a cultural ambassador, has been instrumen-tal in putting the new South Africa on the map. Cleggis an icon of South African music. He will perform atthe Kirstenbosch Gardens Summer Sunset Concert onSunday 19 January. Book though Computicket.

Milano aim to recapture winning formSHIFAAN RYKLIEF

Milano United will hope to return to thesummit of the National First Divisionthis weekend but a win may not be

enough.The Grassy Park side dropped points in a

2-2 draw against local rivals FC Cape Townover the weekend and were overtaken byChippa United as a result.

Now Milano will be rooting for FC CapeTown to pull off another upset in their fix-ture against Chippa on Saturday.

Milano were expected to brush past FCCape Town, who were languishing near thebottom of the table at the time.

Things seemed to be going to plan for theBlack and Yellow, who opened the scoringin the third minute. Brandon “Junior”Theron headed home from a well worked at-tack down the left by Ganief Stellenboom.The visitors soon replied through SiphiweGwala, with the striker giving Milano goal-keeper Tashrique Goldman no chance andcalmly tucking the ball into the right corner.

Things got worse for Milano in the 25thminute when top scorer Lesvin Stoffels re-ceived a straight red card for a challenge onJarrod Moroole. Despite being down to 10men, Milano took the lead for a second timewhen Chad Robertson forced the ball overthe line.

The home side’s hopes of a memorable winwere undone when super-sub Mpho Eras-mus headed home late in the game.

Milano United managed to maintain theirunbeaten home record for the season, butdropped down to second place on the table.

FC Cape Town’s Zaphaniah “Zeff” Mboko-ma and Gwala both came close to stealingall three points in the dying minutes of theencounter, but Goldman kept his team aliveto ensure a share of the spoils.

Milano will hope to return to winningways when they face Jomo Cosmos in Johan-nesburg on Saturday.

Academy to polishrough diamondsLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Cape Town’s rugby talent pool is expect-ed to deepen following the establish-ment of new academy in Tokai.

The Western Province Rugby Academyopened it’s doors last Sunday with the aimof developing rough talents into polishedprofessionals.A group of 48 promising players will

spend the next year engaged in the acade-my’s rigorous and thorough high-perform-ance programme.While they will represent the academy in

matches against junior provincial teamsand other similar high-performance cen-tres, managing director Keith Milner saysthe players will also represent local clubs.“We are filtering players back into the

system, sowhen they arenot playing for theacademy team they will play for clubs,” hesays. “We have already been in touch withthe clubs; we told them it is down to themto pitch to the squad and the academy. Weare not going to force players to play for anyparticular club, but we have stipulated thatwe are only considering Super League Aclubs.”Milner says he expects the inclusion of

the players in local clubs to increase thestandard of club rugby.The academy forms part of the Western

Province Rugby Union structures and willwork closely with the Western ProvinceRugby Institute in Stellenbosch.The Institutewas founded in 2007 and has

produced several excellent players.Springboks Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi

and Juan de Jongh are all former gradu-ates, as areStormersScarraNtubeni, FransMalherbe, Nizaam Carr, Louis Schreuderand Cheslin Kolbe.The academy was founded with hopes of

replicating this success.But while the institute caters for only un-

der-19 players who spend just one year inthe programme before either being profes-sionally contracted or released, the acade-my accepts players between the ages of 18and 21.“You may get a player who gets injured

while at the institute, sometimes early onhis stint there, and that ruins his under-19year,” Milner says.“That player may have had the potential

to step up to the professional ranks. Weneed tomake sure he can stay in the systemand in a high performance programme.”Milner adds the academy will also pro-

vide opportunities to “hidden gems” play-ing outside the top levels of school rugby.While the Institute’s 2014 intake included

players almost exclusively from rugbystrongholds like Paarl Gymnasium, PaarlBoys’ High and BolandAgricultural Schoolor southern suburbs powerhouses such asWynbergBoys’High andRondeboschBoys’High, the Academy has also seen playersfrom Steenberg, FishHoek, Camps Bay andSimon’s Town high schools selected.“We want to ensure that we (involve)

players who ordinarily would not be on thestage where they would get recognised,” hesays.“We know there is a hidden gem sitting

in most schools. We have gone out andfound playerswho have the talent, but needto be given the opportunity. The institutedoesn’t have the time to put the feelers outinto the schools.”Both the academy and institute players

will follow the same programme and willtrain together at least once a week.Academy members will also receive life

skills training frompsychologists and busi-ness experts. Players who are not studyingwill also be enrolled in sports related terti-ary programmes.Any players interested in joining the

Academy can find out more information bycalling (021) 712 1559.
