ATHLONE STADIUM Breaks on driving schools EARL HAUPT @EarlHaupt D riving schools operating in and around the Athlone Stadium parking lot will have to find alternative arrangements from next month. The City of Cape Town has identified a number of driving schools that have been il- legally conducting their business on the premises, located in the parking lot behind the stadium. According to Yvette Tsolo, the City’s head of facilities, the driving schools who are cur- rently operating at the stadium have no for- mal agreement with the City. In recent months, the fence surrounding the stadium’s parking lot on the southern side has been damaged by vehicles used by driving schools, including trucks. The trucks also pose a weight bearing problem to the surface of the lot. The parking lot at the northern side of the stadium is currently used as a thoroughfare by schoolchildren and the presence of vari- ous vehicles on the site could pose an imme- diate safety risk. The City is planning to fence-off this side of the stadium in the next financial year. Lee-Roy Montanus, a Bridgetown resident and driving instructor in Athlone, says that although he does not use the stadium’s park- ing lot often, the increased activity in the ar- ea, particularly relating to trucks, has raised a few eybrows. “I have been working in this area now for more than five years. There was nothing (in terms of complaints), because it was just the Code 08 vehicles which would do the parking there. Now we are seeing the Code 14 has al- so been parking there. Ever since they start- ed putting up fences on the opposite side of the stadium, at Field Crescent, there have been a few incidents where the fence has been damaged by the trucks and that has been a reason for them to get the driving schools off the property.” Montanus says that he only uses the park- ing lot to have his clients become accus- tomed to the car being used before they move to the roads and from there he uses the test- ing yards. “The only disadvantage about the stadium is at night it becomes dangerous. Now and then there are a few shooting incidents, but there have not been any recently. “It is becoming so busy around the stadi- um with all the driving schools that you hardly have space to operate.” He says that he will abide by the notice and said that they do have an agreement with the City, but that it does not relate to the usage of the stadium’s premises. “We have not engaged with the City. We deal with the City concerning lessons and we have a tender with them, so we don’t have anything bad to say about them doing this,” says Montanus.

SILVERTOWN
From Silvertown to silver screenEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Julian Cleophas has lived most of his lifein Silvertown, but due to a series of events,
now has a vested interest in the silverscreen.Silvertown became his home after living
in Kuils River for the first five years of hislife.After journeying through Turfhall Prima-
ry School and Belgravia High School, heeventually ended up studying a B.Sc courseat the University of the Western Cape.However, his path would take a dramatic
turn after enrolling at the Raymond Acker-man Academy (facilitated by the UCT Grad-uate School of Business) where he studiedentrepreneurship. While there, Cleophaswas introduced to the world of modelling,which afforded him the opportunity to trav-el the world while participating in variousfashion campaigns. The environmentopened up the door for him to pursue a ca-reer in film and production. He still pursuedalternative career paths while modelling.“After the entrepreneurship, I was pursu-
ing an educational initiative called i-Wizzkids whichwas a concept I was pushing thatfocused on an incentive-based online educa-tional platform for high school students tofind educational resources and providethem with a social networking platform toenhance academic achievement.”However, following a stint in Raizcorp’s
Pitch and Polish competition, Cleophaslanded up at Visual Impact. There he metUga Carlini, director of Alison.Alison is based on the true story of Alison
Botha, who was raped, stabbed and disem-bowelled – and survived to rebuild her lifeas an inspirational speaker. Botha’s storywas first transformed into a best-selling
book “I Have Life” which has been translat-ed into seven languages and a perennial onPenguin’s best seller list since 1998.According to Carlini, this is the first time
Alison has ever allowed cameras into herhome.Critics have described Alison as one of
South Africa’s most hotly-anticipated hy-brid films. “Deploying a bold mixture offairy tale idiom and unflinching frankness
to tell its story of survival, resilience and tri-umph, Alison has already been dubbed “astory of monsters, miracles and hope.”Locally it has been selected for the En-
counters International Documentary FilmFestival (Thursday 2 - Sunday 12 June) aswell as the Durban International Film Festi-val (Thursday 16 - Sunday 26 June). Alisonwill also be the opening film of the MzanziWomen’s Festival on Friday 5 August and is
set for an exclusive Nu Metro Women’sMonth theatrical release on Friday 12 Au-gust.Cleophas says that being part of the
project has been nothing short of inspiring.“You are working on a project where the
person and the subject matter are about oneof South Africa’s most iconic female hero-ines, one of the biggest stories to hit SouthAfrica. For me, the experience has been in-spiring. To be able to get on the phone andspeaking to Alison and giving her a call tohear this person that sounds very optimis-tic. This person projects such a warm aura,so it is kind of hard to understand that some-one who had gone through such a horrificordeal is able to project such a sense of hu-manity and happiness and optimism.”He says that the entire experience was al-
so a learning one, because from a modellingand acting perspective, he only got to see oneside to the entire process, but since he hasbeen at Visual Impact and involved with theAlison project, it became more specific towhat he was promoting.“You have to attach an identity behind the
brand. There has got to be a feeling with re-gard to how this specific film is dealt with.Youhaveapersonwho is ahero tomanypeo-ple, who is this element of hope, a symbolof ‘I can’. You know, where things might notbe the best, but it is okay.”A special, free, filmmakers in conversa-
tion eventwith director Uga Carlini andAli-sonwill behostedonSaturday4Juneat 10:00at the Encounters Film Festival at the V&AWaterfront Cinema Nouveau. This sessionexplores the complex relationship betweenfilmmakers and their subjects – developingtrust, negotiating access and walking thefine line between the public and the private.V For more information about the movie, visit www.alisonthemovie.com.
Julian Cleophas is the campaign producer for an upcoming film entitled Alison: The Movie,which will make its international debut at the Encounters Film Festival in June. The movie isdirected by Uga Carlini.
Talent and tunes for tennis developmentGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
Tennis development in the Western Cape isgetting tuned in with some support from toptalents.Empext and WP Tennis will be hosting a
gala jazz fundraiser at the Artscape OperaHouse on Saturday 18 June starting at 18:00.One of the organisers, Joey Fourie, ex-
plains that this initiative has been put inplace to address social change in poorercommunities in the metro (and elsewhere)through sport – in particular tennis.“We understand that many communities
face pressing problems and that interven-tions that talkmore substantially to povertyalleviation, education and job creationmight be more needed,” he says.“However, we have the skill-set, network,
knowledge and access to relevant partner-ships to impact meaningfully on some of
these areas through tennis.”He explains that the project has started
with tennis because it presents a fantasticlifelong sport option and vehicle for impart-ing life skills. “It also presents a huge devel-opment opportunity because tennis struc-tures in most communities have collapsed.“Today, it costs a child R15 000 per year (at
the entry level and excluding the cost ofequipment) to learn to play tennis as com-pared to R500 to R2500 per year to play crick-et, because the only coaching programmesin existence are private programmes.Tickets are R195.

tate Neighbourhood Watch members re-sponded to a complaint on Jakes GerwelDrive oppositeAthlone’s industrial area.Awoman and a friendwere held at gun
point and robbed of R500. She reportedit to the Surrey Estate NeighbourhoodWatch and as a result the group respond-ed and found the suspect within the im-mediate vicinity.According to Manenberg police

Families to movein this weekEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The final touches are being put on thenext 48 houses in the Heideveld hous-
ing project, with plans to move the fami-lies into these premises by the end of thisweek.Currently, 30 of the 738 beneficiaries
have moved in, with a few hiccups beingexperienced. However, the cases havebeen documented and dealt with, saysward 44 councillor Anthony Moses.Moses says, following a recent visit to
the site last week, the project managerfrom the City of Cape Town’s human set-tlements department, Clifton Carolus, isworking out the final snag list beforehanding over the next batch of houses.“They are busy putting in the lamp
poles as well as the fencing. They arestarting with a more permanent fencingand the important thing is that therewasa discrepancy about the fencing,” hesays.“People asked if the fencing was too
low, it is only about five slabs high. I wasthere and some of the community mem-bers are complaining that it is still verylow. What they needed to understandthat in the midst of the emergency, thatwhen you apply for fencing with thesefive slabs, it is easy to install.”.He says once there is a request to have
a higher fence installed it becomes a landplanning issue. This translates intolonger waiting periods due to the addedapplication process which needs to takeplace.
“What we have looked at is the emer-gency of the situation, where the areahas been used as a walkthrough [sic].The project manager was on site andthere was a meeting with the beneficia-ries as well as the community liaison of-ficer on Thursday 19 May, before theyeven started to erect the fence. I think theclarity situation for the community isthat this was an emergency type of thingso that we don’t have this walking in andout of the area unmonitored,” Mosesadds.Allegations arose that the community
liaison officer (CLO) for a sister housingproject in Hazendal is getting involvedwith the project in Heideveld, but it hasemerged that the CLO was appointed bythe contractor, Mellon Housing Initia-tives (MHI), who runs both projects. Ac-cording to a report by the City – tabledat a sitting of Subcouncil 11, of whichward 44 is a part of – theCLOhas a signedcontractwithMHIandshehasbeenrede-ployed inanother capacityuntil that con-tract runs out.Other than the sprouting up of struc-
tures, the landscape in and around thebuilding site is earmarked for clearance.“In terms of the project, the grass
around the site has been cut. The otherchallenge that we have is that we havemade an application to have the PortJackson bushes to be removed. That isbeing done through the normal supplychain processes and I am in discussionwith the provincial department as wellin terms of that particular land and themaintenance of the land.”

A 43-year-oldmanwasarrestedonFriday6 May after Manenberg residents made
a call to the City of Cape Town’s metalstheft unit to inform them of an incident ofcable theft.According to the City, the suspect left his
loot at one of the houses in the area anda member of the unit, assisted by a detect-ive from Manenberg police station, foundhim threatening residents to release hisstolen goods.The two officers arrested the suspect on
charges of theft, malicious damage to prop-erty and intimidation. They also retrieved
23m of insulated electrical copper cableand a wire cutter.The City’s metals theft unit, commonly
known as the Copperheads, is workingclosely with the police and the NationalProsecuting Authority to secure a convic-tion against a suspected habitual cablethief.“The residents who stood up against this
criminal are the real heroes in this caseand I applaud their efforts. We need morepeople to speak out about thosewho terror-ise their communitieswith their selfish ac-tions if we are to make a real impact in the
fight against crime,” says JP Smith, theCity’s Mayoral Committee member forsafety and security.The City says the case has been reported
in terms of Section 18 of the Criminal Mat-tersAmendmentAct of 2015. The actmakesprovision for a person convicted for tamp-ering with or damaging essential infra-structure to be imprisoned for a period notexceeding 30 years.The most recent case from Eskom was
tried under this Act and the three peopleconvicted for the crime were sentenced tothree, five and 15 years respectively.
“We’re hoping for a similar outcome inthis particular case. For far too long wehavehad towatch repeat cable theft offend-ers walk out of court with nothing morethan a slap on the wrist. To add insult toinjury, very often the same people wouldbe arrested for the same offence on thesame spot within a matter of days – allwhile communities continue to experiencethe misery brought about by cable theft.We finally have the legislation that treatscable theft with the seriousness it deservesand we need to put it to use in the courts,”adds Smith.

EDUCATION
Mind thegap yearMidyear exams are underway, and yourmatric scholar should be sharing their as-pirational plans. Do they want to pursuefurther education, join the working worldor a thought more scary… take a gap year?Parents often fear that their childmay be
left behind, sleep the whole day and partyall night; or, that they lose momentum andnever go back to study.Take a look at the pro’s and cons of a gap
year. Start by asking them a simple ques-tion: “what do you want to achieve by tak-ing a gap year?”Be open minded to the possibility that
your child is exhausted and uninspired aft-er 13 years of schooling. Your child maysimply be looking for opportunities to trav-el or grow their knowledge base throughwork experience. Perhaps they have plansto focus on other aspects of their personaldevelopment thoughcommunityworkor todiscover their drivingpassion.Your child’shappiness is as important as their inde-pendence.Another challenge to consider is the fear
of failure and separation from circles theyhavebecomesubconsciouslydependent on.Your child could be unable to see the impli-cations of their decisions made in fear ofbeing ostracised or rejected. Be aware ofthis emotional challenge and try seekingopportunities to expose themtonewexperi-ences, which will buffer their resilience tochange. Being able to adapt to a changingenvironment will help them cope through-out life’s curve balls.Keep in mind that children are encour-
aged to start thinking and making deci-sions for themselves earlier in life, versesdays when teenagers were forced to leaveschool early to seek employment. If yourchild is able to display a clear plan ofgrowth, even if just thoughmenial employ-ment opportunities, it might help themma-ture enough to realise that you can’t drivea Ferrari or find a solution to solve worldhunger without proper further education.Being able to take a gap year may be theone thing to help your child realise how for-tunate and necessary a higher education isto achieve your dreams.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVETCollege.

Still fightingfor freedomWhether you’re fighting a just cause,breaking the law and infringing onother people’s rights is wrong andshould be discouraged.Community leaders, union leaders,
student leaders – if you entice violence,vandalise property, intimidate or forcepeople to be part of your cause, what doyou call yourselves when you look inthe mirror? A leader, freedom fighter oractivist? You are in fact an oppressor.Freedom is the right of an individual
to act out of free will. If you have ahandful of people willing to protest withyou for a just cause, without anytactics, you can pat yourself on theshoulder and rightfully call yourself aleader.“No-one but ourselves can free our
mind”, so what right do you have toforce people to act according to yourwill?Society is falling apart because we fail
to recognise freedom for what it is – therespect and tolerance for another, evenif they don’t see things the way thatyou do.This freedom has been fought for and
in many instances died for.CARMEN NAZIER

Animals nicer than peopleTo Yagyah Adams (“Death penalty isrequired”, People’s Post 17 May) very wellsaid – the time has come to create anatmosphere of abject fear among those insociety who create abject fear amongstthe innocent in society.The only point that I would take up
with Adams is the second last paragraph“While we have the most violent societyon earth, those – who live in a well-pro-tected leafy suburb, far removed fromviolence – want to lecture the victims ofviolence”.Not quite true: the Constitutional Court
was created by our late Madiba in 1994 –subsequently this then politically createdCourt abolished the death penalty on6 June 1995.Prior to this, the last political hanging
was of Jeffrey Boesman Mangena on 29September 1989.My attitude towards the abolishment of
the death penalty is that it should havebeen voted on by the public in a referen-dum – however, in those early days itmay well have got the vote in favour ofabolishment.I am prepared to bet that if this was
put to the vote today via a public referen-dum (including those living in protectedleafy suburbs), it would probably bereinstated as it appears that the onlylanguage criminals do not understand isthat of going to prison.A Parliamentary law should be passed
that stops bail applications for murder-ers, rapists, paedophiles and other grosscrimes. Sentences are a joke – Parliamentin the same way should set out mini-mum, without parole sentences of saymurder (30 years), rape (20 years), childmolesters (20 years) and not leave thiscurrently arbitrary decision to magis-trates and judges.Sadly this will probably never happen –
South Africa, as the rest of the world,plays the political game of “Constitution-al Rights”; these working more in favourof criminals than victims.Never must we say of criminals “they
are worse than animals” – there is onlyone major difference between modern daysociety and animals, and that is thatanimals are a lot nicer!
ROD TOERIENEmail
Death penalty is never a solutionRegarding “Death penalty is required”(People’s Post 18 May).Criminals do not fear the death penal-
ty. Why would suicide bombers continuewith their vile belief in martyrdom? Fewpeople consider consequences when theycontemplate their murderous plans.Stirring up emotions about one particu-
lar case is tantamount to instigatingviolence. Many more victims lose theirlives daily. No right-thinking person willever “find an excuse for murderers” – avery dangerous lie used by lovers ofdeath penalty to confuse ordinary people.Of course everybody sympathises withvictims when they fall prey to derangedpeople. It is a blatant lie and generalisa-tion to mention that “they (opponents ofdeath penalty) never mention the anguish
of a parent whose child was murderedwhile playing in a neighbourhood park”.Ours can never be regarded as “the
most violent society on earth”. Whatabout the US, where 33 000 gun-relateddeaths are recorded each year? Whatabout Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Libya,Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, all deathpenalty countries drowning in devastat-ing violence, to name a few?Those in “leafy suburbs” do not lecture
the victims of violence. They will contin-ue to warn against this Trojan horse.The biggest lie, “death penalty is the
only punishment criminals fear”: thetruth and reality will one day catch upwith this modern-day Goebbels.

Remove artto restoreserenityI was at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gar-dens this morning (Tuesday 17 May)and horrified to see some “artwork”added to the beautiful little pool andwooden bridge, destroying the rusticpeace of this scene.This is a total travesty of everything
Kirstenbosch stands for – naturalbeauty, the one place one can viewnature in safety and quiet.William Sweet Love “artist” should
remove his stuff (“Water Wars”) andplacard forthwith and restore this littlecorner of serenity! If he wants a plat-form for his work then he should buildhis own little pool and put it in anexhibition hall of art – it is certainlyout of place where it destroys thenatural beauty. This is a world heritagesite that attracts thousands of visitorsfrom overseas – I believe there were6000 people there on the last publicholiday.Thank goodness that I got a beautiful
photo of the pool and rustic bridge lastweek – now the scene is spoilt with abright blue statue and lots of red blobs(frogs? turtles?) floating in the water.Shame on you Kirstenbosch!There is also a huge pile of water
bottles on display in the courtyard asone enters at the bottom gate – a hugerectangle stacked and on top of it(unbelievable!) a huge post box red dogwith running shoes on (meaning?) – andin contrast just further along by thebeautiful pond water feature a wonder-ful display of big Bonsai trees, some 150years old – how incongruous is that!That is the sort of display the visitorshould be met with on entering theGardens. What does one come toKirstenbosch for – more garish stuffthat one finds all over cities? Surely onecomes to Kirstenbosch for naturalbeauty, peace and serenity?I spoke to other people staring in
disbelief at the scene and they were alsoshocked at this contravention of thevery thing Kirstenbosch Gardens standsfor. There is not even a bin on thepremises because it would upset theaesthetic beauty of the scenery, andnow this? What are the people whomake the decisions thinking?

Death sentence no deterrentIn People’s Post (17 May) Yagyah Adamswrote “Death penalty is required” to curbcrime.Really? If indeed capital punishment
would “curb the crime rate”, why hasSouth Africa’s murder rate been on thedecline since it was abolished in 1995?Then the rate was 67.9 per 100 000 people;at present it’s 32.2 per 100 000 people (asimilar phenomenon occurred whenCanada abolished it in 1976; their murderrate also declined).In the United States, a September 2000
New York Times survey found that duringthe previous 20 years, the murder rate instates with the death penalty has been48% to 101% higher than in stateswithout the death penalty.The Economist echoes this, saying
“there is no solid evidence that the deathpenalty is any more effective at deterringmurder than long terms of imprisonment.This seems counter-intuitive. Surelydeath must deter someone. But the kindsof people who kill are rarely equipped, orin a proper emotional state, to make finecalculations about the consequences.Even for those who are, decades ofimprisonment may be as great a deter-rent as the remote prospect of execution.”In European countries which have
banned such extreme sanction, theirmurder rate remains far below that ofAmerica’s. More than two-thirds ofcountries have done away with it eitherin law or in practice.Even in Malaysia, a zealous exponent
of state-sanctioned killings for drug
dealing, the Malaysian Bar has urged thegovernment to abolish the death penalty.Records have shown that the deathpenalty has not reduced the number ofoffences, but they have instead increased.This shows that the death penalty has azero deterrent effect.Amnesty International states: “The
threat of execution at some future date isunlikely to enter the minds of thoseacting under the influence of drugs oralcohol, those who are in the grip of fearor rage, those who panic while commit-ting another crime, or those who sufferfrom mental illness and do not fullyunderstand the gravity of their crime.”A number of violent crimes, notably
murder, rape and assault, are called“social fabric crimes” by the policebecause many of these offences arecommitted by people known to oneanother in familiar environments. InSouth Africa, 50.3% of women murderedare killed by an intimate partner. Elevat-ed blood alcohol levels combined withunemployed status was also found to beassociated with intimate killings.Obviously then, drink and drugs
exacerbates the violence when the killerhas lost his civil faculties. And hardly, inthe rage of the moment, will the potentialkiller think: “Hold on a moment, I mayget the death penalty for this.” Indeed, ifthat thug knows he could face the deathpenalty, nothing will hold him back fromfurther violence against others.

Beware ofcounterfeit partsVehicle owners should be careful of coun-terfeit parts.Bilstein South Africa, the local importer
and distributor of Bilstein gas pressureshock absorbers, has warnedmotorists notto be misled by counterfeit versions of thebrand’s Airmatic spring/damper, the fit-ment of which will severely compromise avehicle’s stability and safety, according toa press release by Motorpress,Damper assemblies with integrated
height-adjustable air springs are fitted toa number of upmarket SUVs and sedans.These complex, sophisticated assembliescombine electronically-controlled hydrau-lic damping with air springing and can re-act instantly to road conditions, driver in-puts, and speed.Unfortunately, they are frequently cop-
ied or inadequately refurbished and sold atapricemuch lower than theoriginal – oftenwith the inference that their performancewill be the same as or similar to that of theoriginal.These counterfeiters go to great lengths
to pass their product off as a Bilstein butthere are a number of key visual differen-ces that can be used to verify the authentic-ity of the product.For starters, a fake “Airmatic” was 40
mm too long.Dimensional accuracy is critical and if
the suspension is forced towork through anabnormal arc, it will cause not only incor-rect geometry under certain conditions butalso premature failure of rubber bushingsandmountings and accelerated wear of oth-er components such as constant velocityjoints.Key differences between real and coun-
terfeit units include:.On a Bilstein unit the remote valve cyl-
inder is invisibly laser welded onto thedamping tube, whereas on the fake item un-even “spot” welding is evident where it at-taches using a similar interface.
. One of the most obvious differences be-tween the real and the fake is how the yoke,which straddles the vehicle’s suspensionarm, is attached to thedamper tube.TheBil-stein itemhasanopen tubewhich is pressedonto the shock body and then welded bothabove and below. The fake uses a castingwhich is closed at the bottom, has a longer
boss and is welded onto the shock body onthe upper side only.
. Viewed from below the genuine parthas a dimple in the centre of the end cap.
. The edge of the bellows on the Bilsteinunit is extremely accurately and preciselyaligned relative to the steel crimping ring.Extra crimping marks and a large and/orirregular overlap of the rubber are tell-talesigns that the bellows has been replaced, orthat the entire unit is not Bilstein.
. The Bilstein unit has a satin black fin-ish while the non-genuine item is glossblack.
. Bilstein’s trademark blue and yellowcolours are prominent on the informationstickers. Text includes the part number,and the word “Germany” – a reference tothe country of manufacture. The non-genu-ine item described itself variously as “HighQuality”, “New Shock Absorbers” [sic] and“New Product”.
A 40mm difference in overall length will forcethe suspension to operate in a suboptimalarc, causing accelerated wear of othercomponents such as constant velocity joints.

Pedestrains should also follow the rulesof the road.It’s a sad reality in SouthAfrica that pe-
destrians constitute more than a third ofall road death fatalities, especially at fes-tive season peak times. Many South Afri-cans do not have a driving licence, can’tafford public transport, and are forced towalk wherever they need to be.Unfortunately many of these pedestri-
ans don’t always follow the rules of theroad, and the results are often catastroph-ic.In January, for instance, the minister
of Transport Dipuo Peters noted that upto 35% of all fatalities on the country’sroads during the December 2015 festiveperiod were pedestrians.“We find too often that pedestrians
don’t understand the dangers they poseto themselves, and other road users, byrunningacross busyhighways and roads,and by not being visible enough tomotor-ists. Road safety needs to begin at a youngage, and it needs to include education onhow to be a safer pedestrian,” the Auto-mobile Association (AA) says in a state-ment.The AA says although it is illegal to
walk on national highways (except under
certain conditions such as when your carhas broken down), enforcement of thislaw is poor, leading to risks and danger.“While we understand there is a need
for people to make a living, there is alsoa need for safety. We call on governmentto be more cognisant of people walkingon, or crossing, highways, or operatingsmall businesses on the side of nationalroads where they are placing themselvesand motorists in danger.”The AA says it is important for motor-
ists to adapt to the conditions they aredriving in, and toalwaysbeawareof theirsurroundings. Pedestrians may be dis-tracted by electronic devices, makingthem unpredictable. Always be on thelookout forpotential problemswhendriv-ing. Schools are especially dangerous aschildren often don’t think about the traf-fic.Think about the children becausechances are they are not thinking aboutyou.“We are again urging every road user
in South African, be they motorists, mo-torbike riders, cyclists, or pedestrians toensure their own safety by following therules of the road, and not to take chanceswith their lives because their actions im-pact on others,” the AA concludes.
Pedestrians: take care

Steenberg pupils play a new tuneLOUISA STEYL
@LouNotes
“I canbemyself throughmusic, evenwhenother people don’t understand me.”These are the words of Reneeca Beukes,
one of threeyoungSteenbergmusicianswhohave blown their way into the Cape Philhar-monic Youth Wind Ensemble.Leigh-Lynn Smidt (baritone saxophone),
Reneeca (euphonium) and Miche van derRheede (tuba) from Steenberg High Schoolhave joined the orchestra after only a fewyears with the school’s music programme.With the help of non-profit organisation
Musiquelaine South Africa and legend-ary band leader Ian Smith, the schooldebuted their Steenberg High SchoolSymphonic Wind Band in 2014 after themusic programme’s inception in late2013. With their new appointment tothe Youth Wind Ensemble; Leigh-Lynn, Reneeca and Miche are a testa-ment to the project’s success.Musiquelaine board chairperson, Louis
Fouché explains that the aim of the projectis to produce “well-rounded young civil-ians” who can create structure in their ownlives and make wiser decisions.All three girls agree that their music les-
sons have changed their lives dramatically.Last year Leigh-Lynnwas elected the Rep-
resentativeCouncil of Learners (RCL) chair-person for her school and this year she hasbeen chosen as a prefect and nominated asband leader. “I never knew I had the poten-tial for leadership.”Reneeca says hermusic lessons, andmore
specifically playingmusicwrittenbyothers,have helped her process her emotions andalso learn empathy for others. The band hasgiven her a sense of self-worth andmade hermore of a people’s person.Miche points out that one of the main les-
son she learnt was respect. “You need to re-spect your conductor when he speaks; youneed to stop what you are doing and listen.”She also found confidence going from be-
ing a shy and nervous teen to making lotsof friends.Grade 10 learnersMiche andReneeca both
started playingmusic at church.Miche orig-inallywanted to play the trombone, but aftersigning up for the school’s band she ended
up on the tuba. “I was a bit nervous, becauseit’s a big instrument,” she says, but she soonfound she quite enjoyed it.Reneeca says she’s attended every prac-
tice since joining the school band in Grade8. She started out as a trumpeter before Ianasked her to try her hand at the euphonium,which she also thoroughly enjoys.Grade 11 learner Leigh-Lynn has been
with the band since its inception. “I like to
participate in everything,” she explains.Like her peers she also switched instru-
ments, starting on the clarinet before mov-ing to alto saxophone and later the baritonesaxophone. It took one look at the baritonesax and Leigh-Lynn was hooked.“I thought: ‘Ohmygosh, this thing is beau-
tiful’.”Another lesson the girls have learnt is self-
discipline.“The more discipline you havethemore you can achieve with yourmusic,”Reneeca says.It’s this ethic that made the three perfect
candidates when the wind ensemble waslooking for new players earlier this year.Self-discipline has been a key factor in
helping the girls juggle their extra-mural ac-tivities with their academic work. Miche,for example, also plays for her church bandwhichmeans shehas to attendrehearsalsfor three differing bands each week.“I set myself a time-table,” Reneeca ex-
plains, making sure she has time for her-self and friends. “I enjoy music, so I spendmost of my time playing and practicing sothat I can be successful with music andmake everybody proud,” she adds.
Leigh-Lynn has also employed herown method of time management, es-pecially now with work load thatcomes with being in Grade 11 andsays: “Even though it’s hard for me
I know that everything I do has a benefit forme.”While Renecca and Leigh-Lynn dream of
careers in law and civil engineering respec-tively while being part-time performers, Mi-che hopes to study music and travel theworld as performer.For now however, their focus is on their
school work and their music. In Octoberthey will join the Cape Philharmonic YouthWind Ensemble when they tour to Robert-son and Swellendam.

Football3 lays down rootsJOSEPH PILLAY
Non-governmental organisation Oasis haveintroduced a football program, called foot-ball3, to the communities around their orga-nisation’s base in Schaapkraal with themain focus being to educate the youth in theskills of fair play and respect using footballas a tool to carry over the message.It was introduced at the youth centres
within the communities to focus on scholarsafter school, who use the centre on a regularbasis. Since its origins in Medellin, Colom-bia, football3 has been further developed bythe “streetfootballworld” networkmembersaround the world into a comprehensivemethodology to address a range of social top-ics, such as gender equality, health andpeace building.According to Clifford Martinus, founder
and chairperson of Oasis’ Reach For YourDreams, football3 empowers young peopleto take responsibility for their actions andtreat others fairly.The programme is named after its “three
halves” – a pre-match discussion, footballgame, and post match discussion.Following the match, they reflect on their
behaviour and the behaviour of their oppo-nents, with points awarded for goals as wellas for fair play. As football3 is played with-out referees, players must learn how to re-solve conflicts themselves through dialogueand compromise.A mediator is appointed for each match,
but is not actively involved the actual gameitself. He or she conducts the pre- and post-match discussions and delivers a verdict ifthere is any decision which cannot be re-solved. All other decisions are decided bythe participating players.Oasis is sending a delegation to streetfoot-
ballworld Festival16 in Lyon, from Friday 1July to Thursday 7 July.
Eugene Minords (left) and Martine Samuelshave been selected as a delegation leaderand youth leader that will be attending theFestival16 in France in July.

Milano United have missed thechance to gain promotion from theNational First Division (NFD) after
beingheld to a 1-1 draw in their final leaguematch against Baroka FC.Milano needed to beat Baroka and hope
results elsewhere went their way in orderto sneak into the promotion/relegationplayoffs for a coveted spot in the PremierSoccer League (PSL) next season and theyseemed to have aided their cause afterMzwanele Mahashe opened the scoring togive the lead, which they carried throughto half-time.However, they would be pegged back by
Baroka’s Thabiso Kutumela to give thehosts a valuable point which saw themclaim the NFD title and gain automaticpromotion to the PSL next season.The result meant thatMilano United fin-
ished sixth on the table, five points froma potential third place finish, which wouldhave seen them qualify for the playoffs.In other results on Sunday, Santos, al-
ready assured of NFD survival, succumbedto a spirited FC Cape Town at Athlone Stadi-um, while Cape Town All Stars could notprovide Milano with a much-needed favourwhen they lost to Mbombela United at theKanyamazane Stadium.Other results from the final day of the
