The farm has not erected a tent for two weeks, confirms spokesper- son Sheryl Ozinsky. “The primary issue has been the heritage status of the site of the market, with concerns on the part of the City of Cape Town and Herit- age Western Cape about damage to the heritage of the site escalating to the point where they have pro- hibited us from continuing to oper- ate with a tent,” she says. A conservation management plan for the Oranjezicht Home- stead Precinct recently recom- mended a curtailing of market ac- tivities at Homestead Park. The re- port found the market, which takes place under a Bedouin tent, to have significant impact on heritage as- sets (“Proposed precinct plan”, People’s Post, 28 October). The former volunteer claims the community have almost no access to the produce of the farm, with participants of the guided harvest being the only community aspect of the harvest. Even this is sporadic, she main- tains, with participants some- times finding they have been locked out of the farm. This despite the farm’s coopera- tive agreement with the City of Cape Town stating the garden is for “hands-on communitywide gardening education, thereby in- creasing the access to fresh vegeta- bles for all members of [the] com- munity, regardless of income”. She is now calling for new man- agement of the farm. “We would like to see new man- agement immediately. The market needs to be reduced to selling only the farm’s yield and increased physical interaction with the farm for the community,” she says. However, Ozinsky says the farm is run on community involvement. “OZCF is driven and managed by volunteers who receive no finan- cial remuneration for their time. We welcome volunteers to join and participate at any time, at a level that suits them,” she says. “One of our challenges is to find consensus on the boundaries that define a ‘community’, as we have engagement with neighbourhood residents of the Oranjezicht sub- urb, those in the City Bowl, across Cape Town and right through to in- ternational audiences as well. We’ve learned that we’re part of many communities.” The farm has recently faced backlash on social media, Ozinsky says, with a number of “public crit- icisms and negative comments” posted. The farm’s three-year coop- erative agreement includes an an- nual review, carried out by the City’s parks, environmental re- source management and heritage departments, explains Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committee mem- ber for Community Services and Special Projects. “City Parks has received no com- ments or complaints regarding any member of the public being denied access to the farm.” A former trader, who does not want to be identified also for fear of victimisation, researched man- agement practices of the farm for his thesis. He found that over a pe- riod of five months, with more than 350 respondents, only 11% of trad- ers came from the City Bowl, with none from Oranjezicht. Only 4% of the visitors at the market were from the surrounding neighbourhood, and only 3% of the visitors had ever been involved with or volunteered at the farm. Nearly all vegetables, fruit and herbs are from within 100km of the farm, says Ozinsky. “But we do have some items from farther afield in South Africa, and we have one trader with an organic farm in the Tanqua Karoo who comes in weekly,” she says. Around 15% sold at the market is grown at the farm, Ozinsky says. “It would be lovely if we could provide a full range of traders that are all based in the City Bowl, but there are currently few urban farmers within that area,” she says. Despite the cooperative agree- ment specifying that the farm is to be run as a non-profit organisa- tion, OZCF registered as a non- profit company (NPC) earlier this year.

TRANSPORT
Drive for new metered taxi planNICOLE MCCAIN
@nikcymccain
Putting the brakes on illegal meteredtaxis, high fares and poor services arethe aims of a new strategy by council
to regulate the metered taxi industry.A new bylaw is being developed to bring
significant changes to metered taxis’ pick-up conditions and also set minimum servicestandards.The bylawwill also govern electronic pay-
ments with debit or credit cards, and e-hail-ing – the use of an e-hailing application tobook ametered taxi and other modes of pub-lic transport such as charter and touristservices, says City of Cape Town MayoralCommitteemember forTransportBrettHer-ron.“The moratorium on the issuing of new
operating licences for the metered taxi in-dustry will be lifted on Monday 1 Decemberand all new applications will be dealt within terms of the new strategy. This transitionwill not happen overnight but over a periodof three years to enable the industry and theCity to adapt accordingly,” he says.Illegal operators will be provided with a
window period to legalise their operationsby applying for an operating licence as abase operator, Herron says.The City is aiming to increase the number
of metered taxis on the road, Sport Taxi gen-eral manager Ayub Baker believes, throughlegalising current illegal operators.“The impact on the industry will be more
taxis on the road and a smaller slice of analready competitive pie. More taxis areneeded during peak times but what happensin the winter months when things slowdown considerably?” he queries.“Between car rental companies’ point to
point services and the take-me-home servic-es, we already face significant competition.TheCity has not indicatedwhether theywillput a limit on the number of operating li-cences they would be approving.”A maximum fare per kilometre will be
specified, with a minimum charge for shortdistances and a waiting time charge in thenew bylaw. Flat fares will be introduced fortrips from the airport to main destinationsin the city and approved rates will be dis-played on the vehicle and sealed in the me-
ter, Herron explains.Marine Taxi Cabs spokesperson Fiona
Herman says research needs to be carriedout before the bylaw is implemented.“Before setting fares, it would be advisa-
ble to call on qualified engineers to discussthe operational costs of a vehicle and thenadd the cost of the infrastructure of runningametered taxi company alongwith the oper-ational costs,” she says.“In order for all of us to boost Cape Town’s
tourism industry, we have no choice but to
continuously upgrade our fleet. This costsmoney which should be recovered by ourfares, but that may not be possible if faresare regulated in such a way as to prohibitgrowth.”Baker says fare regulations are needed.“It will result in the public better under-
standing the industry by making it simplerto use and understand. The view that tariffsare high is unfounded, given that rates perkilometre have only increased by R2 in thelast 10 years,” he says.Taxis will have to be replaced after eight
years according to the new bylaw and opera-tors will be incentivised to provide wheel-chair-accessible taxis. Metered taxis will al-so no longer be constrained by a pick-up ra-dius, but allowed to pick up and drop offpassengers anywhere in the city, Herronsays.This will enable taxi operators to provide
a service in any areawhere a demand arises,Baker explains. “This will potentially resultin the development of newmetered taximar-kets,” he says.It is envisaged that the necessary policies
and bylawswill be developed during the cur-rent financial year, that the new fare struc-ture will be piloted in 2015/16, and that theother changes will follow thereafter.“The City is convinced that these new
terms will allow the metered taxi industryto flourish and to run their businesses morecost effectively. We want to grow the indus-try with compliant operators who in turnwill play their part in creatingmore jobs andimproving their service to residents and vis-itors,” Herron says.But Baker counters: “The City wanting to
change the way metered taxis operate iswishful thinking, as they don’t have a clueon how to operate a metered taxi fleet.”

CITY BOWL
New walk for touristsNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
With over 70% of global tourists par-ticipating in urban and culturaltourism, a new attraction created
by the Cape Town Partnership is looking totap into this market.
The City Walk – starting in the Compa-ny’s Garden, proceeding down GovernmentAvenue and St George’s Mall, before turn-ing onto the Fan Walk and ending at thePrestwich Memorial in St Andrew’s Square– will see the cultural, economic and socialupliftment of the city’s interconnected pub-lic space from next year.
As the commercial hub of the city, 40%of Cape Town’s total business turnovertakes place in the CBD.
The CBD is steeped in heritage, public art,retail and events – both informal and for-mal, says Cape Town Partnership CEOBulelwa Makalima-Ngewana.
“The City Walk will thread these ele-ments together across all the layers of theCBD story into an informative, engagingprecinct to captivate both locals and visi-tors,” she says.
Cape Town Tourism Executive market-ing manager Velma Corcoran says: “CapeTown’s exciting urban centre is a quintes-sential part of what makes this city so spe-cial.
Finding a way to showcase the stories ofour city is essential to the authenticity ofa visitor experience and so this new dimen-sion will be as much for our citizens as itwill be for our visitors.”
Philippa Jephson, owner of Run CapeTown – a tour company offering runningtours of the city – is all for getting visitorsoutside.
“I am all for enjoying the city at street lev-el and walking through the city – or run-ning, as we do! – is perfect for seeing, hear-ing and coming up close and personal withall these sights on a much more interactivelevel,” she says.
The route covered by the walking tourhighlights every political and historicalhotspot, as well as lots of natural and archi-tectural beauty, Jephson says.
“I think having the walk structured in away that it becomes a curated route and cul-tural precinct will make the area safe andfeasible for everyone – not only tourists –
to enjoy on foot, 24 hours a day. This is fabu-lous as after dark most people prefer to bein cars or buses,” she says.
The precinct will feature free wireless in-ternet and signage to peel back the layersof Cape Town’s hidden stories, Makalima-Ngewana says.
“The introduction of more public ablu-tions, experimental street food offerings,permanent as well as temporary public artand event activations will form a practicalaspect to developing the space as a livelydestination,” she says.
City of Cape Town’s Investment Directo-rate head Tim Harris says: “For visitorssuch a route will immediately provide anaccessible and coherent means to experi-ence Cape Town as a city destination. Forlocals it can open up the city, provide asense of inclusively and encourage thesense of Cape Town being a ‘crossroads’ ormeeting point across divergent histories,
cultures and demographics.”However, Jephson is concerned the walk
may take customers away from tour opera-tors.
“When we run through the city we oftensee tour operators taking visitors on walk-ing tours, through the Company’s Gardensespecially, and I know there are some freewalking tours that are offered in this area,”she says.

GROOTE SCHUUR
Preemies get afighting chanceNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A baby’s first smile, first step or firstword is a memory no mother will for-get.
These memories will however never bemade for one out of seven of the millionmothers who give birth prematurely.But the Newborns Groote Schuur Trust
is working tirelessly to change these heart-breaking statistics.The trust supports the Neonatal Unit at
Groote Schuur Hospital with funds to im-prove survival rates amongst premature,low birth weight and critically ill babies,trust spokesperson Julie Gibson says.The neonatal unit cares for 3 200 of some
of the smallest and sickest babies in theWestern Cape each year.Many of these children weigh less than
a bag of sugar, with some only the weightof a block of margarine.ShiyaamValentine’s sonYaqeenweighed
only 970g when he was born last year.With underdeveloped lungs, he lost an-
other 200g at only a few days old.“I was so scaredwhen I sawmy son,” Val-
entine says.“I didn’t even know if I should hold him.
I was just amazed that he was alive as hewas such a small baby. It was very emotion-al.”The unit and trust became Valentine’s
second family as they nursed her son tohealth.“They were teaching me things like how
to feed and carry my son,” she says.Now, a year on, he is growing stronger
each day.“He’s stubborn,” she says, laughing.“He shouts to get his own way. He has
started standing and is trying to walk.”But not every story ends like Valen-
tine’s.Over 200 mothers leave the unit without
their babies every year.This is what the trust aims to prevent by
equipping theunitwithnew incubators andother equipment, Gibson says.“One of the biggest problems facing our

SEA POINT
Through the eyes of MadibaNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymcain
Looking out across the bay, towards Rob-ben Island, a new sculpture on the SeaPoint Promenade pays tribute to Nelson
Mandela.As part of Art54, a public art project across
Ward 54, the giant sunglasses are modelledon a pair of Rayban Wayfarers worn by Man-dela in 1977, says artist Michael Ellion.
“The inspiration for the sculpture camefrom trying to understand how Nelson Man-dela’s mind worked. How did he perceive theworld and how did he manage to keep hismind free while incarcerated? I wanted tounderstand the mind and the man behindthose glasses and create a sculpture thatwould pay tribute to him,” he says.
This giant set of stainless steel spectacleslooks out in contemplation towards RobbenIsland and sets up an axis and dialogue withour country’s history, Ellion explains.
“It links us to the mind of a man whoseincredible capacity to transcend enduringphysical hardship, with unwavering mentalfortitude and dignity, transformed the con-sciousness of an entire country and left a gi-ant and lasting legacy to the world,” he says.
Made from hundreds of laser cut pieces ofmarine grade stainless steel, the sculpturetook eight months to complete.
“The pieces fit together like a curvilinearthree dimensional jigsaw puzzle and thereis practically zero tolerance for error be-cause all the pieces need to fit together to themillimetre,” Ellion explains.
“With the sculpture having multiplecurves and being so large it makes workingon it very challenging because you can’t justflip it over or spin it around, and there areseveral layers to the production that get in-terrupted if anything goes wrong.”
Ellion hopes all this hard work will in-spire those looking through the glasses.
“I really hope that when people see theglasses looking back towards Robben Islandthey feel a personal link to Mandela and areinspired to perceive the world in a similarlynoble way. The sculpture is saying: ‘look be-yond your prejudices, remember that peoplehave suffered far greater hardship thanmost of us will ever experience in our life-times and have still had the capacity to riseabove it and become truly great’,” he says.
Art54 was started by Elad Kirshenbaumand former Ward 54 councillor BeverleySchäfer as a means to overcome the issuesthat artists struggle with when wanting tocreate in the public domain, Art54 projectmanager Shani Jude says.
The project has created a platform for pub-lic art to exist in the city and for art itselfto exist as an integral part of urban experi-ence, Ellion says.
“Public art is such a fundamental necessi-ty in urban life and it’s fantastic that thisplatform now exists for artists to displaytheir work on a semi-permanent basis andfor the public to enjoy it as part of their dailylives,” he says.
While these first projects are being imple-mented, the selection committee are work-ing towards implementing the second roundof artworks.

CRIME
No evidence to support ‘markers’NICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Painted letters, piles of stones, softdrink cans andplastic bags – these arejust some of the markings social me-
dia “alerts” have warned residents couldmean a house is being targeted by crimi-nals.Facebook postings have reported that
everything from empty chips packets toshoes – as well as how they are positioned– can indicate if the homeowner is armed,if the occupants are home and where thereare escape routes.But police say there is no evidence that
these markings are used by criminals.Provincial police spokesperson Lieuten-
ant Colonel Andrè Traut says: “Althoughcriminals are very creative with theirmodus operandi, there is no evidence tosupport the allegation that homes aremarked in some way or another so that aburglary can be perpetrated.”This is backedupby security companies.ADT Security managing director Rob
Dale says security guardshavenot encoun-tered this technique.Sniper security's Ridwaan Matthews
says the alerts are based on myth.“I’ve been in the industry for 18 years
and have not experienced criminals using
markers. The majority of crime is oppor-tunistic – a criminal seeing an open win-dow and a flatscreen TV and going for it,”he says.“Planning tends to only take place when
criminals are targeting a business orpremises with high value items and thenthe criminals will carry out reconnais-sance.”Matthews urges residents to install pre-
ventative security measures such asalarms and motion sensors and to alwaysremaining vigilant.There are several practical precautions
residents can implement to enhance theirperimeter security, Dale adds.
“These include keeping trees and shrub-bery in the garden neatly trimmed to avoidproviding a hiding place for intruders,” heexplains.Dale also says it is also important to en-
sure that the garden and perimeter are suf-ficiently lit.Residents should also report any suspi-
cious activities, person or vehicle immedi-ately. “It is important that communitiesand security role players – including com-munity safety groups, private securitycompanies and the police – continue to de-velop andmaintain goodworking relation-ships as these do bolster crime preventionefforts,” he says.
Giving power to the peopleCapetonians can look forward to a more re-liable and resilient power distribution net-work thanks to an upgrade of council’s soft-ware system.Its Electricity Services Department is in
the process of improving and expanding thesystem to restore power quickly, safely andefficiently during outages.The upgrade includes the implementa-
tion of an outage management systemwhich ensures reduced time frames for re-pairs, better workflow management, andimproved outage communication.International software supplier Ventyx
will provide the system,whichwill have theability to send SMSes to customers beforethey are impacted by a pre-planned outage– provided their details are up to date.It can also identifymeter numbers and lo-
cations without having to capture the data,
and relate this to a customer’s name and ad-dress on the customer information system.It will also be able to predict the restorationtime and measure the period from when afault occurred to restoration time for quali-ty control purposes.Furthermore, it has the ability to dissem-
inate real-time outage status updates.“The department operates in a challeng-
ing environment of large-scale urbanisa-tion and faces massive growth, which in-creases the demand on infrastructure,”says Mayoral Committee member for Utili-ty Services Ernest Sonnenberg.“The software implementation will help
us to address challenges through our ener-gy-saving and demand management pro-grammes, of which the Ventyx integratednetwork control system is a key compo-nent.”
Grow your mo’ for men’s healthMore men have been sporting a more rug-ged look for the past two weeks.Each year, as part of the Movember cam-
paign, men around the world commit tosigning up on www.movember.com andgrowing a moustache for November in thename of men’s health. A major focus of Mo-vember is raising awareness and openingdialogues about issues that affect men aswell as the promotion of the need to im-prove your general health.As part of this awareness campaign, Mo-
vember encourages you not only to grow amo’ for 30 days, but to know the numbersthat affect your health, find out about yourfamily medical history, go for medicalchecks, be familiar with your body and anyunusual changes, and reach out for help ifyou suspect something is wrong.Movember also calls for you to make a
commitment to be more active over themonth, incorporating exercise into yourdaily routineunder theMovemberMove in-itiative.It is estimated that the risk of heart dis-
ease, diabetes and cancer can be lowered by
up to 50% through incorporating moderateexercise into your daily routine. Althoughrelatively few studies have looked at the im-pact of exercise specifically on prostate andtesticularhealth, the ones thathave suggestthat regular physical activity lowers therisk of developing these cancers and alsolowers themortality rates ofmendiagnosedwith these diseases.Being active is one of the best things you
can do for your health. Making a move canimprove your general well-being andhealth, not to mention it can combat fa-tigue, aches and pains, as well as anxietyand depression.Move appeals to men to pledge half an
hour of their day to a physical activity thatthey enjoy or can easily access. Whether itis walking to work, taking the stairs, doinga yoga class, going for a surf or cyclingaround your neighbourhood – commit toanything that gets youmoving a little morethan usual. As long as your mo is moving,you are headed in the right direction andtaking positive steps towards improvingyour health.

The hunt is on to find an operator for theGreen Point Urban Park coffee shop.After the first round of tenders failed
to produce a suitable candidate to run thecoffee shop, the tender process has been reo-pened, saysMayoral Committeemember forTourism, Events and Economic Develop-ment Garreth Bloor.“The tender to lease the coffee shop is a
second attempt to find an appropriate lessee.
The first round of advertising did not yieldany responsive tenderers and therefore theprocess had to be repeated. The tender hasbeen readvertised and will close on 18 No-vember 2014,”says Bloor.The City of Cape Town intends to secure
a tenant for the coffee shop found within thepark to provide food and non-alcoholic bev-erages to the 14 million annual visitors(“Sipping and sitting pretty”, People’s Post,24 October 2013).According to a report submitted to the
Good Hope Subcouncil, the long-term man-
agement of the facility will be decided oncethe investigation into the future manage-ment of the Cape Town Stadium is re-solved.The coffee shop will not operate as a fully-
fledged restaurant and will only serve lightmeals, snacks and beverages, and shouldbring in more tourists to the park, states areport issued to Subcouncil 16 last year.The venue is currently empty and non-op-
erational.All tenders will have to be assessed, adju-
dicated and approved as per the City’s Sup-
ply Chain Management and Property Man-agement processes before an appointmentcan commence, Bloor explains.“If there are no appeals, we anticipate that
this process will be concluded by the end ofJanuary 2015. The lease is for the durationof one year with an option to renew for a fur-ther year,” he says.The fit-out of the coffee shop will be the
responsibility of the lessee, Bloor says.“The extent of this fit-out will be depend-
ent on the business and operational modelof the successful lessee,” he says.

A trip to the mall used to be a family affair, an outingor, to the harried among us, a dreary necessity foressentials such as food and toiletries.
But, for the most part, Capetonians have become quiteadept at combining necessary evils of stocking up on gro-ceries with a bit of fun, like going to the movies, restau-rants or simply browsing.In spite of most shopping outings to bigger malls hap-
pening after pay day, many people have learnt to shopwith the eye.But that eye will now have to be rapier sharp and
trained to the very high possibility of mall robberies.A number of Cape Townmalls have been on the receiv-
ing end of the cunning sting that has seen, among others,cellphone and jewellery outlets stripped of their goods.And the robbers are becoming increasingly more bra-
zen, in some instances shooting at security guards as theyleave in their wake a trail of blood, mayhem and fear.Frustration mounts at a rising tide of crime policing
seems impotent to stem.Aswehead for the festive season, therewill be an influx
of shoppers and mall management have doubtless uppedsecurity measures to ensure their patrons a pleasantshopping experience. Nobody wants to leave a mall trem-bling in fear after being caught in crossfire.There is somethingwrongwith this picture.Usually the
average individual hears of shootings in so-called danger-ous places, certainly not at the mall. But, unfortunately,this is now our new “normal”.So it would be wise to teach your family – including
the elderly and children – how to behave in such a situa-tion by safeguarding themselves.Gone are the good old days when you’ve over extended
your credit card, beenpick-pocketed, forgot about the saleat one store andbought the same item formore elsewhere,or your child has somehow negotiated a costlier gizmothat you did not budget for.Safe shopping!
Fundraising ‘smacks of scam’We had somebody knocking on our door theother day.[Itwas] a very respectablewhiteman,who
said his name was Andrew, and carrying ablack briefcase type bag. He claimed to befrom a corporate background, but was nowallegedly collecting funds for an organisa-tion called “the Gift of the Bearers”. Thefund collecting was in the form a R100 com-petition ticket, which when purchased, en-tered you into a prize-draw for a R20 000[store] voucher.He was very well spoken, and very slick
in his presentation, moving rapidly throughhis file of information.I noticed, among others, a letter from
SARS regarding his NPO details, and his ad-dress listed as Mont (Mount) Sharon, Yar-
mouth Road, Muizenberg.I told Andrew I would not give himmoney
without first checking all the details, andasked him to email me the particulars in-cluding the bank details to arrange a trans-fer if Iwashappywithwhat I had seen.Need-less to say, I have not heard from him again.A Google search returns an organisation
called “The Gift Bearers”, with no addressand a landline number which belongs tosomeone else. The cellphone number has sofar been unanswered.This smacks of a scam and needs investi-
gation. I suspect he is possibly using a legiti-mate organisation to conduct his nefariousactivities.SHANE ALBERTS,Three Anchor Bay
Food for thoughtI saw on TV how two women spoke of theirstruggle to put food on the table.Theywent to a supermarket and the shock
hit home – the measly amount of food thewomen received for an astronomical price.All of us, no matter our financial status, arebending at the knees at the till for the priceswe have to pay.I looked at the prices in a supermarket and
thought of the man in the street [battling] tosurvive on the food prices. Government hasto invest in mass food production and pricecontrol. One of themajor contributors to theprice tag is branding. I do not care whatbrand is on the packet of fruit, vegetablesand meat because we need the food. We can-not afford the prices that make a few richer
but keepmillions on the very lean side of thebread line.Food not sold by a due date is dumped as
waste or collected by farmers for their ani-mals.Why is that food not sold at a low priceto people struggling to put a morsel of foodon the table? Has profit made us blind to theplight of our people?Some farmers also use hectares of fields
to plant lettuce. What makes a farmer planta cluster of leaves instead of potatoes, cab-bage, peas, tomatoes, carrots, onions, pump-kins or squash?Our government needs to do some shop-
ping and fasting and then invest in anafford-able menu for the struggling diners. Mahat-ma Gandhi said: “There are people in theworld so hungry that God cannot appear tothem except in the form of bread.”KEITH BLAKE
Jobs: even harder for older peopleIf young people feel like giving up becausethey don’t have enough experience justthink how people between 35-40 years oldfeel (“Give our youth a chance”, People’sPost, 21 October; “Jobs: I feel like giving up”,People’s Post, 28 October).We have all the experience in the
world but all the jobs either go to blackpeople or youngsters/students becausethey are cheap labour and not familiar with
their rights.I have sent hundreds of CV via email and
even resorted to handing out copies to busi-nesses and hotels, but [get no] replies.Thenwhen you actually go for interviews
–which can last all of 10minutes to one hour– they turn you away or just don’t call andyou spend all that taxi fare for nothing.What do you have to do to get hired?

Schools beartrauma burdenTime and again the media publishesarticles that discuss themanydifficultchallenges that school leaders, whichinclude the principal and governingbody, have to manage.All institutions and especially pub-
lic education have rules and regula-tions that must be obeyed otherwisechaos will occur.Schools struggle with difficult chil-
dren because their parents estab-lished very little or unsuitable basicbehaviour at home. Some parentsmis-takenly believe teachers are requiredto teach their children manners asgood manners are often absent athome. Ironically when parents’ fightor divorce, it is the teacher who sitswith a traumatised child at schoolwhile having to teach a class of 30 ormore pupils.Schools on theCapeFlats in particu-
lar have serious problems with issuesof violence, gangsterism and drug ad-diction. School leaders have many pu-pils who require attention. Othertasks include maintaining school in-frastructure, general education andadministrative needs.Schools leaders do not have the time
and energy to deal with those who dis-rupt schooling because they seek at-tention.Parents who send their children to
school must know that very often chil-dren behave differently at school com-pared to at home. When parents arecalled in by the school governing bodythey are often shocked as they do notrealise what their child’s behaviour islike outside their home.In the words of the wise, almost eve-
rything in life is a result of human in-tellect; if we improve the way wethink, we progress. Our shared socialsustainability cannot be dependent onthe emotive needs of a minority. Com-munities who do not learn from histo-ry and reality will eventually becomeits victim.YAGYAH ADAMS

BIN THEFT
Sights set on dirty crooksA new refuse bin tagging system
could save millions in rates.The City of Cape Town is current-
ly fitting all 24l wheelie bins with elec-tronic tags to help monitor service deliv-ery and recover stolen infrastructure.The initiative to fit wheelie bins with
identification tags was done to ensuremore efficient serviceprovisionandreve-nue accuracy.The tags will allow the City to monitor
eachbin servicedand to identify bins thatare lost, stolen or illegally serviced with-out being City property.
MayoralCommitteemember forUtilityServicesErnest Sonnenberg says theCityservices in excess of 800 000 wheelie binseachweek and this service is provided bymeans of personnel.Trucks and wheelie bins are serviced
at a cost of almost R1bn a year.In rendering the service, virtually eve-
ry public street in the entire municipalarea is serviced each week.“The tagging of bins will allow for the
service of each individual bin to bemoni-tored. This will provide the means to im-prove operational efficiency and effec-
tiveness in managing labour, vehiclesand services because the date, time, andlocation of each bin lifted will be record-ed,” he says.The project will be managed by an ex-
ternal service provider, namely RAMMTechnologies. “RAMM Technologies hasbeen appointed by the solid waste man-agement department’s collections anddrop-offs branch to perform the refusebin identification exercise. It will see nu-merous crews, consisting of RAMM con-tracted staff, moving throughout the cityin various suburbs over the next couple
of months.”These crews will be tagging each indi-
vidual refuse bin in order to compile ageo-database of all the City’s mobilerefuse bins.For the public to easily identify these
crews, RAMM crew members will be re-quired to carry an identification cardcontaining the City of Cape Town logo,photograph of the crew member’s face,member’s surname, first name/s as wellas RAMMoperations’ telephone number.Contact RAMM Technologies on
086 111 7266 or the City on (021) 444 7127.

Amputee to take on 92 km walk – on crutchesPaul Steyn will take a stand for amputeesas he tackles a 97km walk to raise funds forhis organisation.The amputee and founder of the Paul
SteynFoundationwill tackle the feat onFri-day 14November by hitting the road inWel-lington and finishing on Sunday 23 Novem-ber at the V&A Waterfront.Paul will also be visiting various towns
along the route.The below-the-knee amputee walks long
distances with a prosthetic leg to raisefunds for the foundation’s work.He also demonstrates to the public as well
as amputees the mobility that a prosthesiscan provide. The foundation is a registerednon-profit organisation with the main pur-pose of assistingdisadvantaged amputees toacquire prosthetic limbs. What sets thiswalk apart from Paul’s previous walks isthat hewill attempt to complete thedistancefrom Wellington to the V&A Waterfrontwithout his prosthetic leg. He will completethe walk with only the aid of crutches, com-pleting on average 12 km per day.According to the organisation, there are
thousands of people who have no other op-tion but to walkwith crutches to access var-ious essential services.Research has shown that the average am-
putee in the rural areas of Kwa Zulu-Natal,the Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga has totravel about 12 km on crutches to reach
these services, or a point where they canmakeuse of public transport to those places.Paul wishes to highlight the plight of
those amputees.On arrival at the V&A Waterfront, there
will be a short programme at the amphithe-
atre to welcome Paul, introduce the work ofthe foundation to the audience, and thankthe sponsors who made the walk possible.De Wallen, a local rock band, and up-and-
coming singer/songwriter Carla Conradiewill play a short set to entertain the crowd.
FOR A GOOD CAUSE: Paul Steyn completes one of his previous walks. Steyn will be doing a 92kmwalk from Wellington to the V&A Waterfront starting on Friday 14 November. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has voicedtheir distress at the number animals in-jured and killed during Guy Fawkes cele-brations.Inspectors receivedmore than 40 calls be-
fore 23:00 on Wednesday, the organisationconfirms. Two reported motor vehicle acci-dents, dogs attacking each other out offright as well as dogs stuck in fences and be-
tween walls owing to escape attempts werejust some of the incidents reported.CEOAllan Perrins says theGorfinkel An-
imal Hospital experienced an extremelybusy night and received a number of badlyinjured animals, two of which were fatallywounded.“It saddens and frustrates me to know
that despite our every effort to discourage
people from buying and discharging fire-works, we once again had to endure anddeal with the dreadful consequences of anight of animal terror,” he says.There are a number of dogs who have al-
ready made their way to the SPCA.If your pet is missing, contact their lost
and founddivision on (021) 700 4166 or [email protected].

Rimmers to take one step at a timeDUDLEY CARSTENS
Walking across an entire country isunthinkable to many.Yet, this is exactly what Kenil-
worth resident Dean Rimmers plans to dowhen he starts his 12-day solo walk acrossLesotho on Thursday 18 December.Rimmers, the brain behind the Get Out-
side Campaign which “aims to illustrate theidea that a life of adventure is not a thingof the past”, believes being outdoors re-ener-gises the body.He tells People’s Post: “I grew up in a very
outdoor-oriented family and have been hik-ing, camping and climbing since I can re-
member. I have always been inclined tospend time outdoorswhenever I can and feelthat there is a growing trend in the oppositedirection – people of all ages are more andmore likely to find their entertainment in-doors.He describes being outdoors as “magic”.
“There is amagic inbeingoutdoors that goesbeyond entertainment and enjoyment; thetimewe spend innature re-energises us, qui-ets the mind and gives us some perspectiveon our problems that we face in our day-to-day lives,” Rimmers says.“There is so much scope for healthy and
exciting adventure in our amazing countryand I am passionate about making that evi-
dent.”Rimmers, though, is fully aware of the
dangers he may face on his walk.“The main danger is that I will be alone
for the most part – if not all – of the planned12-day journey,” he explains.“Anything that arises, small or big, must
be dealt with on my own. The usual hikinginjuries such as a twisted ankle or an in-jured lower back could turn into a very diffi-cult situation if I am in a remote and moun-tainous area.“Carrying all the food I will need over the
12 days also means it is likely that I will beeating small, nutrient densemeals, but quitefrankly I am not sure how I will feel energy-
wise after aweekandmore of hard effort andlittle food.”His daily journeywill be a 30kmhike – the
distance from Newlands Rugby Stadium toSimon’s Town, he says. It will be acrossmountainous land.“Cellphone reception is iffy at best and re-
covery could be difficult,” Rimmers says.“That said, I am in no rush on the hike and
will be able to stay within my limits andhopefully maintain the concentration need-ed to keep healthy.”V Rimmers will document his walk on his Facebookpage www.facebook.com/getoutsidecampaign. Youcan also visit his website www.getoutsidecam-paign.com.
