BLACKBIRD WALK
Canal calamityCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The Blackbird Walk canal is posing ahealth and safety risk to residents inclose vicinity.
These concerns have been raised afteriron fencing was “stolen” and illegal dump-ing taking place at the canal bridge in Park-wood.Residents are fuming over the state of the
canal and have called for urgent action to betaken.One resident, who did not want to be
named, lives in the informal settlementright next to the canal and says the filthyconditions are a health risk.“People dump their excrements in the ca-
nal and litter is always seen just strewn allover the place. We cannot continue livinglike this,” he says.According to the resident maintenance
and cleansing of the canal done on Tuesday10 February was done in vain.“When the council workers come to clean
up the canal it’s a waste of time. When theycame to clean up, the very next day the canalwas dirty again because people were dump-ing there again,” he fumes.Due to the missing fencing at the canal,
residents are now calling for the City to putup new barriers on the bridge.“The canal has no fencing on the one side
of the road. If childrenwalk around here un-supervised, they could easily fall inwith onewrong step,” the resident says.Ward councillorMelanieArendse says the
fencing at the canal has been replaced twicebefore.“The plastic barricades on the one side of
the canal was put up approximately eightmonths ago although, it has already beensomewhat broken down,” she says.Arendse says she has raised the issuewith
the City before and is still awaiting a solu-tion.“When you look further down the canal
you can see concrete or brick fencing at thecanal bridges. This is what we want here sothat the fencing cannot be stolen like whathas previously happened,” she adds.Mayoral Committee Member for Trans-
port Brett Herron confirms the issue at thecanal was reported internally.Herron also adds he received a complaint
from ward councillor Melanie Arendse re-
garding the stolen fencing.“A complaint was received from Arendse
on Monday 13 May 2013. We repaired therailings during July 2013 but they were van-dalised again shortly afterwards. The rail-ings were replaced with a yellow jersey bar-rier on 27 August 2014,” Herron says.According toHerron, barrierswereplaced
on both sides of the road before they werevandalised and stolen.“We are currently looking at alternative
methods as standard railings will likely be
stolen again. The barriers will be reinstatedin the interim,” Herron says.Residents have since requested that brick
walls be put up along the canal to reduce thesafety risk when crossing the canal.“When you look along the length of the ca-
nal you can see that the other crossings havebrickwalls. This is obviously amore perma-nent solution and people won’t be able tosteal it like the did with the iron fencing,”one resident said.Herron adds: “We are currently consider-
ing this option. We are awaiting feedbackfrom our structures section in this regard.”With regard to dumping in the canal, Her-
ron says the area was cleaned during Janu-ary. “City officials will inspect the canal,and if necessary it will be cleaned again.However, the City cannot combat illegaldumping alone.”V What are your thoughts?

BRAIN BASED EDUCATION
Breaking down art of learningMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
What does a crocodile, an ele-phant and a chief executivehave in common?
According to Gavin Keller theyall have a role to play in how youngchildren and teenagers process in-formation.Keller, principal of Sun Valley
Primary School, uses three simpleyet complex anecdotes to explainthe concept of brain based educa-tion.Passionate about education and
equipping children to be successfulin their studies, Keller has attend-ed international conferences onthe concept and has adapted it atSun Valley.He explains while social issues,
poverty, rising crime levels andabuse all have a negative impact oncommunities, they also play a ma-jor role in how children process in-formation resulting in a negativeimpact on their ability to learn.
Brain based teachingHe says the term is often criticised as earli-
er teaching methods were all brain-based.Keller says the difference is since the crea-
tion of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)machines, scientists have been able to watcha healthy human brain learn through a ma-chine. “It was only used in education in thelate 1990s and the first textbook in 2000 onhowthe human brain actually learns. From this,wehavebeenable to trackhow thebrainproc-esses information,” he says.Keller says in his day (1970s) teachers were
taught on how various animals processed in-formation and philosophies on teaching werebuilt on this. But now, thanks to the machineand advances in neuroscience, teachers cansee that the human brain processes informa-tion differently.“We need to get information into the pre-
frontal cortex of the brain.” Or what he callsthe “chief executive of our bodies”.The “chief executive” handles the working
memory which is required for maths andreading, impulse control, flexibility, empathyand time management. “All the essentialthings we need in school to be successful”.He says this part of the brain is accessed
only once two other levels or brains havebeen accessed.
Survival brainThe survival brain is represented by a
crocodile. In order to learn a child will firsthave to feel safe. If not, the child will with-draw into themselves – like the thick skinof a crocodile. “The human brain doesn’tallow data to move to the prefrontal cortexif a person does not feel safe.”With several schools on the Cape Flats
caught in the crossfire between rivalgangs, Keller says schools in these areashave a difficult task.During final exams last year, police offi-
cers in Kewtown, Manenberg and HanoverPark could be seen conducting extra pa-trols to ensure children got safely to school.At Hillwood Primary School in LavenderHill, teachers and children were threaten-ed by gun-wielding gangsters who gainedentry to the school grounds.Keller explains the brains of children
who find themselves in these situationswill “switch off” as surviving these inci-dents takes priority.“When you walk to school and there are
bullets flying or come from a home wherethere is abuse, that brain cannot learn.”
In addition, he says, the provin-cial education department pub-lishes the results of literacy andnumeracy tests and comparisonsbetween schools are made.“You cannot compare because
the brains are in different stagesof processing.”
Elephant brainLike adults, children need to
feel like they belong. Keller de-scribes the next brain, namelyemotional brain, as an elephant.Here, he explains, the brain
produces neuro transmitterswhich will help store data. If achild feels they do not belong, themessages will not be carried andit can prevent learning.“If I am in a gang environment,
the crocodile brain will send amessage to the elephant brain tosay I am not safe and the neurotransmitters will produce corti-sol. It sends all the brain powerto the crocodile brain and all I am
doing is surviving.”This part of the brain, he explains, only
reads the eyes of the face. For this reason itis important that teachersmake eye contact.At Keller’s school, teachers start the day
by asking children to rate how they feel ona scale of one to four.This gives teachers an indication of what
stage the child’s brain is in. “If we see thechild is not ready to learn they are sent toa counsellor for help.”Nurturing the elephant brain, Keller ex-
plains, is vital to learning as once this partof the brain is accessed and reassured, youcan reach the prefrontal cortex.
ExecutionThe one advantage of brain-based teach-
ing is barely any additional resources areneeded. What is needed is commitment andbuy-in from teachers and school staff.Fromcommunication to discipline, school
management always needs to keep to thefundamentals of brain-based education.The school focuses on sending positive
messages from the start to accommodate theemotional brain. “Oftenwhenwe see teenag-ers misbehaving, they appear bewilderedlike elephants. Saying something positivecan help calm the elephant.”
Brain based education zooms in on how a young brain works andlearns. PHOTO: MONIQUE DUVAL

PARKWOOD
Soup kitchen successCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Residents of Parkwood joined in the cele-brations with Yasmine Abrahams onWednesday 11 February as she intro-
duced the new facility from which she willrun her soup kitchen.
To add to the celebrations, Abrahams wel-comed 29 students from Stoke-on-Trent Col-lege in the United Kingdom who will assisther at the soup kitchen for the next twoweeks.
Abrahams says she is very excited to host-ing the students.
“We had a group here last year as well andthey brought so much inspiration. We willbe feeding the poor in our community bypackaging food parcels and the students willbe a part of this experience,” she says.
The day was met with much excitement asthe students arrived at Abrahams’ home ina bus escorted by a blaring convoy of law en-forcement vehicles.
Calvin Austin, project organiser fromStoke-on-Trent College, says the students
will be helping in two areas during theirstay.
“We will be handing out food parcels inParkwood and Manenberg while we stay inCape Town. We are very excited about theadventure that lies ahead and cannot waitto leave with new experiences,” Austinbeams.
He adds the college raised funds in En-gland to aid Abrahams and the JabulaniFeeding Scheme.
“With the help of family of friends of ourstudents we managed to raise $10 000(about R180 000). This money will beploughed into the food parcels for the com-munities we will be serving during ourstay,” he says.
Austin says the group of students arelooking forward to gaining new skills, in-teracting with communities and looking atthe quality and diversity of different cul-tures in the two communities.
Yusuf da Costa, a local who also attendedthe ceremony, says the community isgrateful for the contribution to the Jabu-lani Feeding Scheme.
While addressing the students, Da Costaexplained to the group that the fundsraised will be used to create a space wherethe poverty-stricken can find solitude.
“The ground was donated to Abrahamsand we will have many good things growfrom here. We envision a space where chil-dren can come and do their homework aft-er they had their meal for the day. We wantchairs and tables for them so they can dothis in a safe environment,” he said.
His message to all stakeholders involvedwith the Jabulani Feeding scheme was “tobe the best you can be at all times”.
“Abrahams has been running this kitch-
en for 13 years already and she does it forher community. She has shown greatnessand the lesson we can take from her is to al-ways be the best you can be to the best ofyour ability,” he concluded.
The students walked the streets of Park-wood and the informal settlement beforefood parcels were packaged and handed tothe families in the informal settlement.
The group also visited the new groundwhere Abrahams will host her soup kitchenin Blackbird Walk.V What are your thoughts about the soup kitchen?Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your views to32516. SMSes cost R1.

BUSINESS ROBBERIES
Crime spiralASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
While home burglaries have de-creased, the Wynberg business sec-tor has been bearing the brunt of an
alarming spike in crime in the first monthof the new year.Several businesses were robbed of vari-
ous items and cash in January, which haspolice concerned about the safetymeasuresimplemented at these businesses.Brigadier Riaan Booysen, station com-
mander of Wynberg Police Station, is call-ing on business owners to take extra pre-cautionary measures to prevent criminals
from targeting their shops.“We have requested that business owners
increase their security by installing CCTVcameras or security,” he says.Booysen saysCCTVcameras canassist po-
lice in apprehending suspected criminals,but also deter criminals from attemptingrobberies.“Wewill support andadvisebusiness own-
ers in whichever way we can, but they mustalso step up and take responsibility of theirown properties. We know of people who areexperienced in crime prevention who canprovide their skills and knowledge to busi-ness owners,” he says.The businesses robbed aremostly foreign-
owned shops where small items and cashare stolen.Booysen says those involved in most of
the robberies come fromHanoverParkandGrassy Park.He is, however, happy to report a de-
crease in residential burglaries for Janu-ary. “We found that more and more resi-dents are implementing their securitymeasures such as activating their alarms,closing their garages and front doors andnot leaving valuable items in full view,” hesays.In his report Booysen says that repeat of-
fenders have also been arrested for crimeswhich include theft out of motor vehicles,thereby bringing down the number of cas-es reported.Incidents of robberywith aggravated cir-
cumstances have increased and mostlytook place in the Wynberg CBD, subwaysand along the railway line.“This crime can be described as oppor-
tunistic. Criminals target people whowalkalone – those on their way to and fromwork. They steal small items such as cell-phones, iPads and jewellery,” he says.Booysen also warns clubbers to be cau-
tious when returning home from venues.Wynberg police continue to focus on the
drug trade in the area and patrol the hot-spots daily. “We are aware that most of thedrug transactionsaredone througha“dial-a-drug” method. This is difficult to trackas the drug dealers only deal with clientsthrough cellphone communication.”Driving under the influence of alcohol
and drugs has also decreased. “During De-cember and January we held several stop-and-search operations which have helpedto curb the issue of motorists driving un-der the influence of drugs and alcohol,” hesays.Booysen says there was an increase in
assault with the intent to cause grievousbodily harm , which mostly involvesschool children. “The assaults are also re-lated to domestic violence, employees as-saulting one another at work and peoplegetting into altercations at the inter-change.”He urges the public and residents to re-
port domestic violence. “We need to curb thiscrime and find solutions to this problem. Par-ents also need to take responsibility for theirchildren and discipline them at home.”If anyone wants to report a crime or to find
out more about implementing security meas-ures at their homes or business they can callBooysen on 021 799 1983 or email [email protected].

. Regarding “Bridging the parentinggap”, I fully support this idea. My Grade12 son is under the threat of expulsionby the principal. The principal labelshim as “disruptive” and stated that hewill recommend the school’s governingbody to expel my son. This is after I wasissued with a letter on 14 Decemberstating he does not want my son back atschool in 2015. So true, teachers andprincipals do not know how to deal withpupils.
Rental stock: when you can buy a flatsThe City of Cape Town has since 1983promised to transfer certain housingrental units to its legal tenants. I remem-ber this promise was repeated severaltimes over several years, and almostalways before elections.All this information must surely be
contained in the archives of the City andthe media. While the City has transferredsome properties to owners, at nominalcost, or on the proviso that tenants onlypaid the transfer fee, in areas such asSteenberg, Retreat and Gugulethu, theCity has for whatever reasons neglectedto do the same in, among others, Laven-der Hill.At the time, upon reflection, the City
valued these housing units at R7500, andthe flats were to be discounted at R5000.These units are now valued at aroundR200 000 each. The City has clearlyneglected its moral duty, as well as usingpeople to get votes. I think the currentCity fathers would want to make amends.Only recently, I believe, the owners of
single-storey homes have taken owner-ship of their homes, in roads like Grin-dal Avenue and Hek Street. The City hasconsistently not transferred any of theflats.The City appears to possess the stance
that all flats are of the three-storeycourts variety. This is simply not true,and I firmly believe that the City isshort-sighted in this view.Yes, the courts have sectional title
implications. I live in a one-storey,four-block flat. Our flats have its ownentrance, yard and do not share anycommon areas, which would class it for
sectional title. This is where I believe theCity has perpetuated this misunderstand-ing.My family has been living in our flat
in Eltister Road for 38 years, and I havebeen living there for 31 years. While Icertainly do not feel a sense of entitle-ment, I do believe we have maintainedthe flat for 38 years, and that our blood,sweat and tears are in those bricks.Add the promise of the City way back
then to this mix and I would say ourfamily, as well as many others, shouldhave been allocated ownership of theirflats.If you feel, or know you belong in this
category, I urge you to contact me, sinceI feel passionate about this – not becauseof entitlement, or engendering a sense ofexpectation, but the fact that the Citypromises these houses to people, usuallyjust before elections and then forgetsabout it conveniently.The City is always asking communities
to work with them, so let us work withthem. Let us work together to get theflats, in which you have built your lives,become yours in ownership.Incidently, I also do not understand
why the City does not explore, alongwith the relevant communities, theimplementation of sectional title owner-ship of council-owned properties, such asthe three-storey flats. After all, the Cityis not new to the employment of consult-ants.Also, most of the families living in
these “courts” have lived there all theirlives, and their children and grandchil-dren still live there. It is fair enough to
accept that there is a large chunk ofpeople who are never going to be able toleave the council flats and buy else-where. That is how life is. That the Cityis aware of this, and exploiting this isupsetting to me. I would invite council-lors to actively engage with their com-munities to clear up this issue, and pushfor equity and fairness for all.

Councillor Siyabulela Mamkeli, theCity’s Mayoral Committee Member forHuman Settlements, responds: Wewould like to thank Mr Simon for thisletter and for the chance afforded toclarify the situation.The National Sale Campaign to pro-
mote home ownership started in 1983.Tenants of saleable rental units wereafforded the opportunity to purchasetheir respective units.A saleable unit is part of a subdivision,
with its own erf number. A general planof such a subdivision is registered at theoffices of the Surveyor-General and theRegistrar of Deeds.The transfer and registration of a
saleable unit is subject to an agreementof sale entered into between City of CapeTown (or the local authority) and theregistered tenant.The flats in Lavender Hill are not part
of the saleable rental stock. Multi-storeyunits (flats) can only be sold throughsectional title, as set out in the SectionalTitle Scheme Act. It is important to noteall the tenants in a block of flats mustagree to purchase their units before asectional title route can be pursued.
South Africa is a land full of foreigners. And this isnothing new.From the expansions of First Nation peoples from
erstwhile cross-border regions to the arrival of Jan vanRiebeeck, very few of South Africans today can say theirroots are in this country.There are even some scholarswho believe theKhoi and
San moved to Southern Africa.With this in mind, it seems strange that we would not
welcome foreigners in our country.We are, after all, descendants of foreigners ourselves.Instead, we persecute refugees and torch shops owned
by other nationalities.We’ve let our different languages, skin colours and cul-
tures decide who is native and who is foreign.And now our government looks to deny foreigners land
ownership in our country.During theState of theNationAddress, President Jacob
Zuma announced the land holdings bill, a new proposedlaw that will prohibit foreign ownership of land in thecountry.Once the bill is signed by the president, foreign nation-
als can only enter into long-term leasing of land with aminimum of 30 years.They will not be allowed to buy land. This is reportedly
to secure the country’s land for food security and addressthe land injustice of colonialism and apartheid.Butwill this legislation notmake us poorer as a nation?The country that has welcomed international commu-
nity’s investment since the end of apartheid is now slam-ming the door shut.What happened to SouthAfrica as theCradle ofHuman-
kind, home to each of us?Surely there is a better way to encourage growth in our
country, than closing ourselves off to other cultures? Ina country rife with xenophobia, our government shouldcaution being tarnished with the same brush.

CHRISTEL HOUSE ACADEMY
Bet on, hair offCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The principal of Christel House Acade-my South Africa in Ottery had to partwith his mane after he made a hair-
brained promise to shave his hair if hisGrade 9 pupils improved their results in theannual mathematics national assessmentstest.
After the class scored an impressive 73%average on the test – compared to a nationalaverage of just 10.8% in public schools –principal Ronald Fortune held up his side ofthe bargain,much to the delight of the entireschool. Fortune says it is important to moti-vate pupils. “Ourmathematics marks in the
country is an embarrassment. So to encour-age our pupils I gave them a challenge,” For-tune says.
He adds the school only obtained 38% dur-ing their assessment last year and encour-aged them to do better this year aiming toobtain 50%. “However, added to thatwegavethem an aspiration goal. I told them if theycould achieve more than 50%, I would cutoff my hair,” Fortune says.
Holding up their end of the bargain, thepupils managed to score an impressive 73%on average.
“They definitely showedme they are com-mitted to achievinghighermarks. Theykeptme to my word and I can only say that I’mhappy I did not tell them I would jump off
a cliff,” Fortune jokes.He adds the school received more good
news on Wednesday 11 February when theyreceived an award as the best independentschool in circuit 3 in Metropole South.
The full report of the literacy tests, givento 7 million pupils in grades 1, 3, 6 and 9 lastSeptember were released last weekend.
“We are extremely proud of our pupils.These children prove to us that coming fromdisadvantaged areas does not have to standin the way of future achievement,” Fortunesays.
He adds the teachers at the school shouldbe commended for their work and addedcommitment. “Our teachers are also used togoing the extra mile. To help our pupilspre-
pare for the national assessment test we de-cided to test them every morning for half anhour in the run-up to the test. Theywere giv-en an opportunity later in the day duringtheir regular maths class to go over whatthey did not knowwith amaths teacher,” hesays.
To help motivate pupils to do well in thetests at school, during the run-up to the na-tional assessment, those who scored morethan 80% received a small chocolate. Whilethose who achieved 100% earned a Princi-pal’s Award and if one pupil managed togather at least 10 of the above outstandingresults, a teacher of their choice would treatthem out for lunch. “We believe in ourlearners and want to push them to their fullpotential,” Fortune adds.
He added that the tradition of themorningspeed testswill continue at the school to helpall classes – especially matrics gearing upfor their exams. But Fortune said he’s notsure he will go to the lengths of shaving hishair for a second time to congratulate themon the success he is sure they will achieve.

Prayers for asafer communityCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A day of prayer was held in Ottery asresidents took a stand against the on-going gang war in the area.
Residents from theMarble Flats gatheredon a field in Bruce Avenue recently to showtheir unity against the evil harassing theircommunity.Community and religious leaders gath-
ered for the afternoon of praise andworshipin a joint effort to call an end to gang vio-lence.Ward councillor Melanie Arendse says
the day of prayer signifies a unity in thecommunity.“Our residents are fed-up with the shoot-
ing and have rightfully decided to take astand against this gang violence. It is unfairthat they have to be held hostage by the mi-nority,” Arendse says.She adds the day’s proceedings were well
attended and applauded the community forsupporting the initiative.“We need our residents to understand
that the fight against crime is a big one and
it cannot be done overnight.”She saida callwasbeingmadeon the com-
munity “to stand with us in this time ofneed”.“We need to rid our neighbourhoods of
the criminal activity that has been keepingus hostage”Resident Gail Matthews says she is glad
the day of prayer was hosted.“This is exactly what our community
needs. We can’t allow gangsters to wreakhavoc in our areas anymore,” Matthewssays.She adds that she hears gunshots “far too
often during broad daylight”.“They shoot whenever they want. Hope-
fully today they can see we as a communityare bringing our forces together againsttheir evil deeds. We will not tolerate thisanymore,” Matthews says.Before the afternoon’s proceedings kick-
ed off, religious leaders spread out acrossthe open area where they prayed for safetyduring their afternoon of praise and wor-ship.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your opinion to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Heed safety rulesWith more loadshedding on the cards,
the public are considering alternateways to keep the lights on.
According to a statement by ER24, peopleshould exercise caution when using gas asincorrect use of gas can lead to severe inju-ries, death and damage to property.
It states gas cylinder explosions are com-mon and warns that cylinders must be filledor exchanged at reputable dealers only.
Kevin Robertson, the chief executive offi-cer of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas SafetyAssociation of South Africa (LPGSASA),says ensuring a cylinder is properly main-tained is important.
“This is why all commercially brandedcylinders are returned to the depots of thebrand owners. Here the cylinders can becarefully checked and maintained.”
According to Robertson where filling isundertaken it can be done so under super-vised and controlled conditions.
He says gas cylinders that are illegallyfilled by someone other than those autho-rised by the brand owner, can be potentiallyhazardous.
Also, cylinders should only be filled up to80% of its capacity – anything above thismeans the consumer could be endangered,and anything below this means the consum-er is being cheated.
When purchasing a gas cylinder, makesure the logo on the valve seal matches thelogo on the cylinder.
“If you purchase your own cylinder youare responsible for its maintenance. If youpay a deposit on a commercially brandedcylinder, the brand owner retains owner-ship,” says Robertson.
Installations must be done by profession-als. People should not modify or try to repairappliances themselves.
Visit the South African Qualification andCertification Committee Gas webpage for alist of registered installers at http://saqccgas.co.za/?page_id=1317 or the websitewww.lpgas.co.za for a list of reputableLPGas suppliers.

You should get clued up on cancerYou may have some knowledge of cancer,may have lost a loved one to the illness orknow of people currently fighting it.
However, according to Elize Joubert,Cansa’s acting chief executive officer,more than 100 000 people in South Africaare diagnosed with cancer annually.
With World Cancer Day this month andFebruary also being Healthy LifestyleAwareness Month, a medical emergencygroup is urging everyone to undergo regu-lar physical examinations and healthscreening tests.
In a statement the group calls on peopleto lead a healthier lifestyle to lower the riskof cancer.
According to some organisations in-volved in raising awareness, advances incancer detection and treatment have in-creased survival rates for most commontypes of cancer.
Noelene Kotschan, founder and directorof PinkDrive, says if you notice unex-plained changes in your body, you mustvisit a doctor as soon as possible to deter-mine the cause, as early cancer detectioncan save lives.
Research conducted by Cansa’s head ofhealth, Professor Michael Herbst, showedscientific evidence that lifestyle factors
such as a healthy diet and exercise canplay a vital role in lowering the risk of can-cer.
It is stated that tobacco use, obesity, apoor diet, lack of physical activity and alco-hol all increase the risk of cancer.
Infections and environmental pollutantsare also contributing factors.
According to Cansa some of the followingare warning signs for the illness: change ina wart or mole; any continued fever; nag-ging cough or continued hoarseness;chronic pain in bones or any other area ofthe body; enduring fatigue, nausea or vom-iting, repeated infection and/or inflamma-tion; change in bowel or bladder habits; asore throat that does not heal; unusual dis-charge or abnormal bleeding; thickeningor lump in the breast, testicles or else-where; indigestion or difficulty swallow-ing; obvious change in the size, colour,shape or thickness of a wart, mole or mouthsore; and noticeable weight loss and loss ofappetite.
These symptoms may be caused by otherhealth problems, but if one or more of thesesymptoms persist, consult your doctor im-mediately. For more information visitwww.cansa.org.za, www.pinkdrive.co.zaand www.campaign4cancer.co.za.

ANNUAL EVENT AN ‘EXPLOSION OF COLOUR’
Prepping for the CarnivalPerformance groups from across Cape
Town are preparing for the City’s big-gest street party – the annual Cape
Town Carnival.The EoanGroup is one of the acts whowill
be part of the parade at the Green Point FanWalk on Saturday 14 March.The group of performing arts have been
part of the carnival since its first year in 2010and plan to showcase their talents again thisyear.Group leader Shafiek Rajap says: “Cape
Town Carnival has given a sense of opportu-nity and confidence to many of our dancers,and has created excitement for everyone –with more of our members wanting to parti-cipate each year.”The group’s dancers are trained in many
dance disciplines, but Hip Hop is their choi-ce performance at the Cape Town Carnival.The Eoan Group organisation has been
around since 1933 and it is constantly evol-ving. “By being part of Cape Town Carnivalsince it started, we are able to meet so manynew people from all walks of life,” says Ra-jap.Originally fromDistrict 6, theEoanGroup
is now based in Athlone where they offerdance and performing arts programmes tochildren from disadvantaged communities.At the school, children have the opportu-
nity to learn various performance discipli-nes including classical ballet, modern dan-ce, hip hop, African contemporary and bellydance.Classes are open to children as young as
three and Rajap says the group providesthem with a “valuable platform where theycan excel, learn and express themselves”.The group offers a space where children
can spend their free time in the dance studioinstead of on the streets.But while the Cape Town Carnival is a
highlight on the group’s calendar, their per-formers are active all year round with clas-ses, rehearsals and community performan-ces.They plan to continually grow and expand
their organisation in the hopes of one dayhaving multiple branches across the Wes-tern Cape.The Cape Town Carnival, sponsored by
the City of Cape Town, is a free event.The theme for this year’s festivities is Ele-
mental and the carnival aims to celebrate
the elements of fire, water, earth and airwith parade floats, giant puppets and specia-lity acts.Streetswill be closed off from 18:00 and the
parade will begin at 19:00.Councillor Garreth Bloor, Mayoral Com-
mittee Member for Tourism, Events andEconomic Development, says the City isproud to be a sponsor of the event.“Supporting events suchas theCapeTown
Carnival form part of our efforts to positionCape Town as the events capital of Africa,in order to boost the local economy and crea-te opportunities for our residents.”Bloor also encourages residents to be part
of the carnival, which at its heart, is a cele-bration of diverse communities.“This year’s carnival is going to be bigger,
brighter andwith an explosion of colour andnon-stop entertainment.”The support of residents also means a lot
to the performers.Rajap says: “Nothing beats the hype and
adrenalin of performing. There are massesof peoplewho support and cheer on theparti-cipants along the FanWalk – and thismakesall the hard work so rewarding andworthwhile.”V For more information about the carnival, visitwww.capetowncarnival.com.

International TradeAbout 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry. Without shipping, the import /export of affordable food and goods would not be possible (half the world would starve and the other halfwould freeze).International Trade and Logistics is a dynamic and exciting field. It is a field that will only develop furtherinto the future as nations compete against each other to manufacture and distribute their commoditiescheaper.Outcomes of this program include the ability to understand and apply the basics of supply on demand,absolute and comparative advantage and the need for international trade. Learners will be able todemonstrate an understanding of the basic philosophy of international trade agreements and the differentmodes of transport.

If you think your primary school’s footballteam has what it takes to be the best in thecountry, thenyouhave to enter the 2015Dan-one Nations Cup.Primary schools across the country are in-
vited to become part of the biggest footballtournament for kids between 10 and 12-years-old.A total of 32 countrieshave started the gru-
elling qualifiers to identify their team thatwill compete in theWorld Finals inMoroccolater this year. Registration has opened andall primary schools haveuntil Friday 27Feb-ruary register.The competition is run under the flag of
the South African Schools Football Associa-tion (SASFA) and the Department of BasicEducation. Games will begin at cluster levelimmediately after registration closes. Thewinners will progress to regional finals, cul-minating in the nine provincial winnersplaying in the national finals to determinethe national champion school.“Through the Danone Nations Cup we are
reaching kids at a crucial age,” said ChantelEhlers, communications specialist at Dan-one. “We are passionate about making a dif-ference to people’s lives and our mission is‘Bringing health through food to as manypeople as possible,’ which we are achievingthrough this tournament.”Both the 2014 winners (Siphumelele Pri-
mary School from Inanda in KwaZulu-Na-tal) and runners-up (Farrarmere Primary
School from Boksburg, Gauteng) will beback in action again this year.For Siphumelele there are only four posi-
tions that need to be filled as the rest of the2014 winning team will be back in actionagain this year. According to teammanager,Emmanuel Mkhize, the trip to Brazil lastyearhashadan immeasurable impact on thelives of all the players that went, which willhelp the team this year.“The trip to Brazil to compete in theworld
finals has opened the eyes of every player.They know that there are endless opportuni-ties awaiting them and I can see that theirconfidence and fighting spirit has improveddramatically. All this helps in their ap-proach to the game this year,” said Mkhize.“They have learnt that you can achieve any-thing if you put your mind and energy to itand remain focused.”The specialist coach that took the team to
Brazil last year has left and the school coach,Mr Jabulani Mkhize, will take charge. “Thekids know him well and are used to hiscoaching style so it will not make a differ-ence,” said Emmanuel Mkhize.TebogoNgakane,manager of theFarrarm-
ere team, is also confident that his schoolcanwin the tournament this year.He admitsthat being part of the Danone Nations Cuplast year was an incredible learning experi-ence for the kids.“We were proud of the team to have
reached the national finals the first time –
and coming second was the cherry on thecake. But that was last year and we have anexcellent team again that I know can do thejob,”he said. “Wehavealsobrought inanewcoach,PrideMoeketsiMorosi,whohasaUE-FA B license, and a load of experience to gowith it to help us.”Unlike Siphumelele, Ngakane said that
the entire 2014 team has progressed to highschool so it will be a new team competingthis year.
“The under-10 teamwill be competing thisyear and althoughwe still have to hold trialsto finalise the Danone Nations Cup team,what I can say is that they have all playedtogether for a number of years, which helpsa lot.”V To enter your school in the 2015 Danone NationsCup contact Themba Tshabalala at [email protected] or on 084 290 0602.
