GREEN POINT

Illegal dumping exposedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A spate of illegal dumping inGreen Point has resulted ingathering attention to the is-

sue on social media sites.A number of photos depicting

the refuse left on the streets havebeen posted on Facebook, saysGreen Point Ratepayers’ Associa-tion chairperson Luke Steven.

“This is proving to be a very use-ful platform for raising awarenessof the occurrence of dumping andsharing advice on how to improvethe cleanliness of the area,” hesays.

“Rubbish on the streets is un-sightly and poses a health hazard.It degrades the neighbourhood –nobody wants to live in or visit anarea that looks uncared for.”

The dumping has spread alongmain road and into Sea Point saysward councillor Jacques Weber.

“It’s happening everywhere. Itseems as if there has been an in-crease in dumping recently, butthat may also be due to residentsbecomingmore savvyon socialme-dia.”

Posting reports online is good asit’s a step towards reporting the in-cidents and allowing for fines to beissued, says Weber.

Bradley Braithwaite, GreenPoint Neighbourhood Watch oper-ations manager, says dumping hasalways been a concern for the or-ganisation. “There are some peo-ple who are just not responsibleenough to correctly dispose of theirwaste. More people are postingabout it now because we’ve beenraising awareness and they nowhave a platform,” he says.

Mayco member for Utility Serv-ices Ernest Sonnenberg says therehave been no reports of increaseddumping in the area and no com-plaints have been made.

“One cannot say for certain whyan increase in dumping is beingperceived. It is the City’s positionthat there is no excuse for dumping

waste illegally. The City runs a to-tal of 25 drop-off facilities whereresidents and businesses can dis-pose of materials ranging fromelectronic waste to recyclables tobuilders’ rubble – on any day of theweek. This service is free for vehi-cles with a carrying capacity of 1.5tons and three loads a day are al-lowed,” he says.

Instead, community organisa-tions have called on residents to re-cycle, thereby eliminating the

amount of refuse ending up on thestreets and in landfills.

“Everybody should participatein the recycling programme as thisdramatically reduces the amountof ‘attractive’ household waste,”says Stevens. “There is a recyclingdrop-off depot in Tramway Road inSea Point and the municipal dumpin Woodstock is just 10 minutesaway by car. It costs nothing to useeither of these facilities.”

The City carried out an aware-

ness campaign to educate resi-dents on the correct procedure fordisposing of refuse. Sonnenbergsays the awareness drive was de-signed to encourage residents totake advantage of the resourcesavailable to them, instil good hab-its of responsible waste manage-ment and prevent littering – withresidents working together withthe City to build a sustainable envi-ronment and caring society.

“Illegal dumping creates an un-

hygienic and unsightly environ-ment. If illegal items are discardedinto the sewerage and stormwatersystems, it can result in overflowsand flooding.”

Weber has vowed to act againstviolators. “I’m meeting with lawenforcement officials this week todiscuss the issue.Residentsneed toreport incidents of dumping so thatfines can be issued,” he says.V Report dumping to the City’s Call Centreon 0860 103 089.

Controversyover artworkNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A proposed publicartwork is caus-ing a big stir –

and it hasn’t evenbeen displayed yet.

As part of a streetgallery for Cape TownArt Street, a WorldDesign Capitalproject, an applica-tion has been made tothe City of Cape Townto display a 2m wideimage of cartoon pigswearing blue hats.

But the applicationhas received anumber of objectionsfrom local police, theCape Town CentralCommunity PolicingForum and City Law Enforcement. Wardcouncillor Dave Bryant says these objec-tions centre around the negative depictionof police and law enforcement officers.“Personally, I feel it is not up to us to curbfreedom of expression. But it is unfair to re-fer to the police in a derogatory manner. It’sa thin linebetweenproviding freedomof ex-pression and protecting the police.”

Garreth Bloor, Mayco member for Tour-ism, Events and Marketing, says the appli-cation was submitted in mid-August andwill be dealt with within 30 days.

Public art is governed by a graffiti bylawwhich states that an application may be re-fused if the artwork is deemed to have offen-sive content.

According to the bylaw, this includes art-work which may cause offence or danger toany person or property, in line with the theConstitution.

The artwork is believed to be attributedto Ninja Bread Boy, but People’s Post wasunable to reach the artist.

“Comments, whether in support or objec-tion to a public art expression, are gatheredfrom various sources, including the ownerof the property, the ward councillor and af-fected internal City departments such asenvironmental and heritage management.This input determines whether any regula-tions or bylaws may be infringed,” saysBloor.

However, Cape Town Art Street organis-er Nigel Wood says the hats are not neces-sarily linked with law enforcement.

“They are carnival hats and not linked tothe police at all. I’m quite surprised that itwould be interpreted that way. It looks tome like the pigs are having a party! Thething about art is that it’s in the eye of thebeholder.”

DISTRICT SIX

Trust may have to pay outNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

T he District Six RedevelopmentTrust, which represents the benefici-aries of two land restitution housing

projects, may be ordered to pay money outto claimants.

These claimants are believed to havepaid the organisation R225 000 for theirstake in the third phase of the develop-ment.

However, the organisation has since dis-tanced itself from the construction.

Gugile Nkwinti, the minister of rural de-velopment and land reform, recently metwith over 700 District Six claimants whorequested that he consults the Minister ofJustice and Constitutional DevelopmentMichael Masutha that the District Six De-velopment Trust pays the money to its ben-eficiaries.

This is according to Rural Developmentand Land Reform regional spokespersonVuyani Nkasayi. “Claimants eligible forrepayment include those who have paid acontribution of R225 000 to the District SixBeneficiary Trust,” he says.

Trust chairpersonAnwahNagia says themoney was not taken under false pretenc-es. “The funds were a contribution towardsbigger properties, as the government onlypays for 70m², leaving another 40m² whichthe claimants had to pay for.”

The third housing development hasmuch smaller properties and the addition-al funds are no longer needed, Nagia says.

“The money is in trust and all we needis a letter from the minister of Rural Devel-

opment and Land Reform. We will thenhand the money over to him, and he canallocate it,” he says.

The Trust announced in June that itwould withdraw from the third phase of

housing developments (“Land squabble in-tensifies”, People’s Post, 26 June).

The third phase will see almost 300homes built. The houses – which arearound 60m² – undermine the trust’s vision

for the area which would allow residentsto obtain business rights to their proper-ties, Nagia says. However, in order for larg-er homes to be built, claimants would haveto contribute around R250 000.

ENVIRONMENT

Firm hasinnovationstitched upNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A creative local is carrying the burdenof change, one environmentally-friendly backpack at a time.

Zaid Philander’s green company createsbags made from recycled seatbelts, reusedcar upholstery and rejected fabric samplebooks.

As one of five siblings, Philander wasfirst exposed to crafts through his mother,who loved to get crafty. With both his par-ents busy at work, he developed a close rela-tionship with his elder sister, who taughtherself to sew and design from books beforestudying through an Italian dressmakingschool.

While other children played games, Phi-lander surrounded himself with hems,brown paper patterns and buttons as hissister strove to “keep him busy”.

On his 10th birthday, he was given a sew-ing machine by his parents. However, atthat tender age, he was too short to evenreach the pedal. This didn’t stop the youngcreative, who developed a contraption witha hose pipe and crutch to allow him to oper-ate the machine.

A decade later, as an environmentallyaware student, Philander came up with theidea of melding his passion for conserva-tion with sewing by creating the companyI Scream & Red.

“As a young boy I was told that sewingis for the opposite sex and that I do not fitthe profile. Yet, against all odds, I accom-plished what I wanted: to sew. Today, I train

people with disabilities to sew as I can re-late to how society puts limitations on you,”he says.

I Scream & Red trains and empowers peo-ple with disabilities or from disadvantagedbackgrounds with the skills to create greenproducts and thereby create employment.

“We now have a total of six people whowork with us. Three are wheelchair boundor disabled and three are from disadvan-taged areas in Nyanga, Mitchell’s Plain andWoodstock. As our capacity increases weplan on employing more. We also encour-age them to start their own businesses withthe set-up of our machinery and equip-ment,” he says.

Philander believes the company haschanged the way vulnerable people seethemselves.

“Disabled or not, I see myself and ourbusiness as a creative house. Intelligence isnot governed by race, gender, religion orability. It is within us all and no matterwhat, the company has shown there are nolimitations with disabilities,” he says.

All this hard work and initiative has re-sulted in Philander being named as a Cli-mate Change Champion through the Brit-ish Council Project, Low Carbon Futures.He dreams of rolling out sewing skillsacross the city. “We really would like toopen up spaces around the city for alterna-tive sewingworkshops.Popupspaces inoldbook stores and libraries, open to the pub-lic, where our disabled makers teach andinspire others,” he says.V Visit www.facebook.com/iscreamandred for moreinformation.

GRAND PARADE

R1m upgradeplanned forcity landmarkNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The Grand Parade is expected to receivea R1m upgrade to improve securityand accessibility to the city’s famous

landmark.The current upgrade will improve the

lighting along the parade and replace theold bollards with new, collapsible ones,says Garreth Bloor, the City of Cape TownMayoral Committee member for Tourism,Events and Marketing.

“Currently the City’s law enforcementdepartment and the Central City Improve-ment District patrol the area and will con-tinue to maintain a presence. The improvedlighting will also enhance security.”

He says the funding is based on high levelestimates for improvements, bearing inmind the size of the Grand Parade. The up-grade will complement the renovations tothe City Hall.

“Both strategic assets are popular venuesfor a range of events and have to be main-tained according to heritage standards tocontinue attracting events. The City Halland the Grand Parade are both iconic stra-tegic assets that resonate with residents ofCape Town and from across the country.

“The late former president Nelson Man-dela delivered his historic speech upon re-lease from prison in 1990 from the balconyof the City Hall to thousands of people gath-

ered there. Last year, the City hosted itsfirst New Year’s Eve celebration, whichwas attended by more than 80 000 people in-cluding residents, domestic and interna-tional visitors to the city. The venues arealso used for a number of festivals, meet-ings, press conferences and film shoots,” hesays.

Central City Improvement District(CCID) COO Tasso Evangelinos says majorupgrades carried out during 2010 vastly im-proved the public space.

“As the CCID we would agree that the ad-ditional lighting and the installation of thenew bollards would go a long way to realis-ing the full potential of this site as an impor-tant public space.

“We believe the City’s commitment to-wards these improvements to the Grand Pa-rade will also pave the way towards settinginto place another very important compo-nent for public spaces – an appropriateoverall management strategy,” he says.

“A strong management strategy is not on-ly vital for the Grand Parade but for all themagnificent public squares we have in theCBD so that all of these can realise their fullpotential as important venues to bring Ca-petonians together.”

The scope of renovations does not requirepublic input and locals will be consulted onfuture upgrades, Sonnenberg says. “Shouldpublic input be required, the City’s publicparticipation process will be followed.”

CONSERVATION

Children join anti­poaching causeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

At least two rhinos die everyday. Yet, as the multi-millionrand tradeof rhinohorns con-

tinues, two conservation organisa-tions believe the tide is slowlyturning.

The Kingsley Holgate Founda-tion and Project Rhino KZN havemanaged to ignite a new sense ofactivism among the youth. Thefirst World Youth Rhino Summit tobe held in Durban, aims to gather100 young conservation leadersfrom the continent together withyouth leaders from Asian coun-tries. Here, they will to engagepresent conservation and protec-tion strategies to an audience ofyoung people, empowering the del-egates to become ambassadors forconservation.

According to the Save the Rhinoorganisation, South Africa is hometo over 80% of Africa’s rhinos. Thecontinent is home to 20 000 rhinos,with another 5 000 in Asia. This isonly a fraction of the half a millionrhinos recorded in the early twen-tieth century.

The organisers of the summit,adventurer Holgate and ProjectRhino KZN’s Sheelagh Antrobusbelieve engaging the youth is keyto winning the war on poaching.

“We want the youth to spread themessage in places like Vietnam: weneed to stop poaching,” says Hol-

gate. “What sort ofworld will our chil-dren grow up in if weallow this to contin-ue?”

From the mouths ofbabes

Antrobus and Hol-gate first realised theimportance of educat-ing youth about poach-ing while communicat-ing with communitiesliving on the borders ofgame reserves in Kwa-Zulu Natal.

“These are buffercommunities that canbe our eyes and ears,”says Antrobus. “Howcan they be guardiansif they don’t under-stand the effects ofpoaching? We decidedto focus on childrenand to listen to whatthey had to say.”

This was how theRhino Art campaign was born.Learners were given pages printedwith only the outline of a rhino andgame rangers asked them to writeor draw a message against rhinopoaching.

Thousands of pupils took part,with the campaign even engagingwith children in rhino horn con-sumer countries such as Vietnam.

The drawings showed an unex-

pected level of understanding, saysAntrobus, with some children pro-viding information of how poach-ers operate. “We realised there wasa very high level of maturity andexcellence in the drawings and de-cided to amplify that byholding thesummit, the first of its kind.”

The illicit wildlife trade is nowthe fourth largest syndicated crim-inal activity in the world after drug

trafficking, human traffick-ing and arms smuggling, saidnational environmental af-fairs minister Edna Molewa.Research conducted by sev-eral NGOs has indicated rhi-no horn has become the mostexpensive commodity onearth. The World WildlifeFund estimates the trade tobe valued at over $10bn annu-ally.

“If the trade continues toescalate at this rate, in onlya few years there will bemore rhinos dying than giv-ing birth, which will lead toextinction,” Antrobus says.Many conservation organi-sations estimate this couldhappen within four years.

Counting costsEcologically, the loss of

rhinos is devastating, butpoaching has a more far-reaching effect. Antrobussays: “In terms of biodiversi-ty, rhinos are what we term

an umbrella species. They play acritical role in the environmentand impact on other species, suchas ticks, birds and grasslands.Even their dung has an importantimpact.”

Rhino poaching is also destruc-tive to the communities living inand near game reserves. “Big fivegame reserves attract more tour-ists and this equates to jobs in local

communities. Most reserves alsohave social projects and buildschools, install water and providehealthcare for locals. If you takeaway the rhinos, you take away allthese benefits.”

Many communities have beenhard hit by poaching, says Holgate.“Communities in places like Mo-zambique have been completelysubverted through poaching. Com-munities no longer respect chiefs,they now respect young men wear-ing gold chains and living in man-sions paid for by rhino blood. Thechildren tell us of the tragedy oftheir brothers coming home inbody bags, shot as poachers. Weneed education and to provide oth-er options for these communities,”he urged.

Winning the warWhile funding and political will

are in short supply in fighting rhi-no poaching, Antrobus says initia-tives such as the youth summit arehelping change mindsets.

Arrests are slowly increasing,with 343 made in 2013 and over 140made in the first half of this year.Penalties for rhino poaching arebecoming increasingly severe andfrequent, according to Molewa.

The biggest way the public canhelp is to provide ongoing supportto rhino conservation efforts, An-trobus says. “This is a war andthere’s no short-term solution”V Visit www.youthrhinosummit.com.

Run a mile for smilesOne man’s quest is to run theTable Mountain Challengeroute seven times over sevendays.

All this to improve the lives ofseven – or more – children inneed of facial surgery.

The race, called the Miles forSmiles Mad Run, is the brain-child of Dr Jean van Lierop,who has challenged ultra run-ners David Grier and AndrewStuart to join him in the TableMountain Challenge (TMC).

The race takes place fromSunday 7 to Saturday 13 Sep-tember when seven teams willrun 37kms a day around TableMountain to raise awarenessand funds for the plight of chil-drenbornwith cleft lips andpal-ates, says a statement.

Sponsor Cipla, in conjunctionwith Operation Smile, has com-mitted to facilitating such sur-geries for seven children duringthe race period.

Van Lierop, who initiated theMad Run, says the TMC route isa tough and challenging trailrun, even for experienced trailrunners who are fit and capa-ble.

Each pair or team of four re-lay runners had to pay R14 000to enter the race – R11 000 goestowards the facilitationof a cleftlip or palate operation for onechild, while the remainingR3 000 goes to South African Na-tional Parks to ensure the up-liftment of Table Mountain Na-tional Park, thereby ensuringthe preservation of the environ-ment.

And nothing – no food or wa-ter – is supplied to the runnersin exchange for the entry fee.

“All proceeds go towardshelping change the lives of sev-en children, by giving themtheir God-given right to smile,”says Van Lierop.

Grier, managing trustee ofCipla SA Foundation, says onein every 750 children in Africais born with a cleft palate or lip,

and one in 10 babies born withthis condition do not make it totheir first birthday.

“Malnutrition, medical andpsychological problems alsocompound the problem. Lifecan be a tough and complicatedplace for children and not beingable to smile shouldn’t have tolimit their experience of theworld.”

Rynard van der Westhuizen,Cipla SA director of CorporateAffairs, says this innovativeand worthy charity concept al-lows the foundation to deliveron two of its sustainable socialinvestment goals.

“Not only does it create a plat-form to assist Operation Smilein creating awareness for theplight of children born withcleft lips and palates, but alsohelps conserve our environ-ment, in the form of South Afri-ca’s very own seventh wonderof the world, Table Mountain.”

The event will close with thecelebration of the Table Moun-tain Crazy Run’s 10-year anni-versary on 13 September.

All single day and team par-ticipants are urged to carry en-ergy-rich food, at least 1.5F ofwater and a bladder pack.

A windbreaker or waterproofjacket is compulsory for partici-pation.

All funds raised as part of thisevent will go towards the Milesfor Smiles initiative.

FRAUD

Beware bogus Eskom agentsA warning is being issued for home-

owners to beware of companies offer-ing free energyassessments onbehalf

of Eskom.According to a statement, this warning

comeson thebackof reports that a supplierof solar water heaters has been posing asan Eskom agent conducting energy assess-ments for homeowners.

The so-called agent’s method is to targetpensioners by telephone. People who agree

to a consultation and allow the company’ssales representatives into their homes areallegedly treated aggressively, and given abogus evaluationof theirhousehold’s ener-gy usage. The home’s geyser consumptionis usually highlighted as the critical causeof high-energy consumption, and peopleare subsequently coerced into buying a so-lar water heater from the company.

Andrew Etzinger, Eskom senior generalmanager for integrated demand manage-

ment, confirms that Eskom has not com-missionedany suppliers to conduct free en-ergy assessments and advises homeown-ers against letting anyone into theirhomes.

“When Eskom does implement residen-tial energy savings interventions we en-sure that residents are notified beforehandand run awareness campaigns in the localmedia.”

Homeowners are advised against buying

energy-saving technologies from suppliersclaiming they have been tested and en-dorsed by Eskom. “You’re under no obliga-tion to allow anyone into your home to con-duct energy assessments or sell you prod-ucts. If approached by people claiming atechnology or device has been endorsed byEskom, be skeptical.”V Call Eskom’s solar helpdesk on (011) 800 4744 orvisit www.eskom.co.za/idm or http://bit.ly/accredit­edsolarsuppliers for accredited suppliers.

THEATRE

Making a sceneCamps Bay High School pupilNomfundo Ncuphuka has won theaward for Best Supporting Actressat this year’s Artscape High SchoolDrama Festival.

The 15-year-old won the awardfor her role in It’s Democratic,Agreed?, written by Juliette Rose-Innes who took the Best ScriptAward.

This year, 43 schools from acrossthe province registered for the fes-tival, which is the largest of itskind in South Africa.

Each school had to conceptual-ise, write, produce and performtheir own plays, based on the cen-tral theme 20 years of democracy.

During May, several mini highschool drama festivals, involvinghundreds of pupils, were stagedacross the province to select the fi-nal 16 productions for the main fes-tival held at Artscape from Mon-day 11 to Saturday 16 August.

The Kwela community-based or-ganisation of Khayelitsha has beencrowned with the Best ProductionAward.

Led by drama teachers MzingisiGabula and Lukhanyo Langa, thedrama group’s hard-hitting play,Ixilongo, also earned Nwabisi Lan-ga the Best Actress Award for herlead role in the production.

Schoonspruit Secondary Schoolin Malmesbury garnered five nom-inations for their production, Notyet freedom, which received the Ad-judicator’s Award for best scriptcompilation and ensemble work.Former Schoonspruit pupil Gersh-

win Cloete was judged the Best Di-rector.

This year’s surprise came whentwo plays entered by Hottentots-Holland High in Somerset West,The Mandela Girls and Victoriaand Alfred’s last day, were both se-lected as finalists. Between the twoproductions, they earned five nom-inations and both triumphed in theBest Technical category.

The coveted Best Actor Awardwent to Yanga Bhumka of the Im-bumba Theatre in Wallacedene, forhis lead role in I am garden boy inmy house.

This year, a special needs schoolin Khayelitsha, the LathithaSchool of Skills, entered for thefirst time with a play called Pover-ty, lack of education, crimeandHIV.It earned two nominations withVuyolwethu Mdluli (17) voted BestSupporting Actor.

High schools could enter plays inany one of the three official lan-guages. The competition was adju-dicated by Johnny Klein of theATKV, playwright and director Fa-tima Dike of the Siyasanga CapeTown Theatre Company, and actorFrancois Toerien.

DRAMA IN THEIR BLOOD: Noma Sithole, Vuyolwethu Mdluli, winner of the BestSupporting Actor award and Reverend Mzonke Tomsana at the award ceremony.

A decade of triumphOnce upon a time there weretwo high school rival bands: 508and Drain. Rian Zietsman, Lou-is Nel and Taxi Violence’s ex-bassist, Loedi van Reenen, be-longed to 508 and George vander Spuy was the drummer forDrain.

In September 2004, they puttheir differences aside – no onecould figure out which bandspat on which anyway – andGeorge finally accepted Rian’sinvitation to jam with them ina storage roomatWynbergMili-tary Base. This is how Taxi Vio-lence was born.

And 10 years later, the bandhas carved out a place for theirsticky brand of rock. They havereleased four albums andplayed hundreds of shows, in-cluding tours to Germany andHolland. A year after the re-lease of their fourth album Taxi

Violence is preparing to launchtheir next album, Tenfold. Thealbum will be released at TheAssembly in the CBD on Satur-day 6 September and in celebra-tion, they are making the firstsingle of the album, titled Beat-en by the gun, available for freedownload from www. sound-cloud.com/taxi-violence/beat-en-by-the-gun.

Tenfold will be launched onall the digital platforms andthere will be live shows acrossSouth Africa in September andOctober.

Taxi Violence will be support-ed by Woodstock Mafia, DeathPanthers and The Robfather atThe Assembly. Tickets cost R50and are available at www.webt-ickets.co.za.V Visit www.taxiviolence.com for moreinfo and visit www.peoplespost.co.zato listen to a taste of their new album.

KIDNEY WEEK

FightingchanceTARREN­LEE HABELGAARN

@LeeLaVidaLoca

About 10% of all people in the worldhave some form of kidney disease.

This frightening statistic was re-leased by National Renal Care and HealthyStart practitioner Raseda Samaai, whosays this is an illness that strikes when youleast expect it.

Do you have a high blood pressure, aburning sensation when you urinate, orpuffy eyes, hands and feet? Do you sufferfrom fatigue, shortness of breath, loss ofappetite, nausea and vomiting, constantthirst or a bad taste in the mouth?

During National Kidney Week, whichruns from Tuesday 2 September to Satur-day 6 September, residents are encouragedto find out whether kidney disease affectsyou and pledge to become a kidney donor.

Renal specialist Dr Keith Houghton sayssalt and high blood pressure are two silentkillers.

“A high salt intake and hypertension aretwo of the most common causes of kidneydisease. By the time many people presentwith symptoms and signs of kidney disease(especially hypertension and diabetes), itmay be too late to have prevented seriouskidney and/or cardio-vascular dysfunc-tion,” he explains.

“The kidneys are the filters of the bodyand are used to produce urine and excreteunwanted waste in the body. Kidneys pro-duce 150F of urine aday, butkeepback 149Fof useful substances, like protein, and ex-crete 2Fof waste.”

Houghton says when kidneys no longerfunction properly the body is slowly poi-soned and cannot get rid of or produce es-sential hormones and nutrients.

“When your kidneys don’t work proper-ly the body cannot get rid of the unwantedwaste, it can’t provide the nutrients to takecare of our bones and joints, allowing fora solid and healthy skeleton and can’t con-trol the amount of acidity and alkalinity(pH) in the body.”

“It also won’t be able to produce chemi-cals which control our blood pressure, andproduce other chemicals which produceour red blood cells and this will lead to in-sufficient oxygen supply to the body. Thekidneys are also responsible for destroy-ing chemicals and hormones which thebody doesn’t need any more like insulin.”

A healthy lifestyle is the easiest way toprevent kidney disease. “Not smoking,limiting alcohol intake, drinking lots ofwater and exercise all play a big role in theprevention of kidney failure.”

He says maintaining a healthy diet is al-so important.

Sammy Sampson has been living with adonor kidney for 27 years and says lifedoesn’t stop after renal failure.

“If you detect the problem early enoughyou can go on dialysis and receive a trans-plant if need be,” he says.

Sampson spent six months on dialysisbefore his transplant. “My mother andfour siblings all tested to see if they coulddonate me a kidney but none were a match.I received my kidney from a young manwho died in a car accident. I need to take20 tablets a day but life goes on. All we needare people who are willing to donate theirkidneys.”

Samaai says part of her job as nationalcoordinator for renal care is to createawareness of kidney disease.

To this end, she has arranged a PatientForum with the theme The gift of life.

The event will consist of presentationsby, among others, a kidney specialist andpatients undergoing treatments.

“It will be the first time such a forum isheld and I am very excited about it,” shesays.

The event is on Saturday 13 Septemberfrom 14:00 to 17:00 at the Samaj Centre inGatesville.

The event will be open to all kidney pa-tients and a relative of each.V For more information contact Samaai on079 490 4773. Visit www.odf.org.za to find outabout being an organ donor.

Come the 2015 club rugby season, theSouthern Suburbs will boast with sixteams in the top tier of Western Prov-

ince club rugby.Following the final round of matches in

the top three leagues last weekend, the fiveteams with current Super League A statuscemented their spots for next year.

And with Villager RFC winning the SuperLeague B title after their 25-23 victory overSir Lowrians RFC at Brookside on Saturday,the Claremont side will return to SuperLeague A next season.

Maties were crowned SLA champions forthe third consecutive year, after HamiltonRFC could not hold of the Maroon Machine’scharge in their 27-25 loss at Danie CravenStadium on Saturday.

The Stellenbosch side were deserved win-ners, as they were the only undefeated sidein the league.

But Hammies’ loss comes at a cost forUCT, as they had to settle for second place.

The Green Point side finished the seasonin third place.

The last round of matches also had a bit-tersweet ending for False Bay RFC – theythrashed NNK 58-3 at Philip Herbstein Field,but had to be content with the fifth place fin-ish and no spot in the Community Cup.

Going into the weekend the Constantiaclub still had hopes of making the nationalrugby championships, but Durbanville-Bel-lville’s 38-22 victory over Bellville RFCmeant they, not The Bay, would feature innext year’s Community Cup. Both PrimroseRFC and SK Walmers finished their seasonson a low, as Roses were defeated 34-33 byUWC and Victorians beat Walmers 46-31.

V In SLB, Mitchell’s Plain club CollegiansRFC ensured they would remain in the sec-ond highest league in the Cape as they beatGoodwood 42-22 in Lentegeur.

Despite their 39-32 loss away to Bracken-fell RFC, Surrey Estate Rangers will also re-

tain their SLB status next season.V In Super League C, Lansdowne’s Violets

RFC were defeated 20-10 by a spirited and de-termined Franschhoek United, who werethe league’s eventual winners. SilvertreeRFC were hammered 17-43 by Strand at Mal-ta Park in Sybrandt Park.

The outcome of the MIT Rangers andNortherns RFC match at Avonwood Park inElsies River is not known. It is believed thematchhadbeencalledoff as a result of ill-dis-cipline on the pitch, but this could not beconfirmed at the time of going to print.

While the matches in the top three leagueshave come to an end, the teams in the Cham-pions, City and Southern leagues will re-main in action this weekend.

WP Rugby also needs to finalise the teamsand fixtures for the President’s Cup, whichbe played at City Park later this month.

V On Saturday Masiphumelele will travelto Philippi to take on Blue Stars United inthe Champions League, while CaledonianRoses host Young Stars at Noll Avenue.

V In the City League, Perseverance take onBusy Bees in Langa, Hamediehs host Police,Progress tackle Technicon Gardens andTemperance-Cities do battle with Watsonia.

V Retreat hosts Bishop Lavis at AllenbyDrive Sports Complex in the SouthernLeague, while Rocklands plays Thistles andTitans take on Peninsula.V View all the results, logs and fixtures at www.wpclu­brugby.co.za.
