Councillors set goalsVERNA VAN DIEMEN

WARD councillors for theAtlantic seaboard already

have their goals set.

Therewereno surprises orupsetsfor the Atlantic seaboard wardsduring the local government elec-tions. More people than ever cameout to make their mark.

The Democratic Alliancestrengthened its footprint in all ofthe seaboard wards – Ward 54, Ward77 and part of Ward 74.

Two of the ward councillors, JPSmith and Belinda Walker, will bereplaced by new blood, BeverleySchafer and Dave Bryant, respec-tively.

Marga Haywood will remain theward councillor for Ward 74, but apart of her ward has been shifted toBeverly Schafer.

Schafer will take over from JPSmith in Ward 54, with a 91% votefor the DA.

Her ward is made up of Sea Point,Mouille Point, Green Point, ThreeAnchor Bay, the Western part ofSignal Hill and Lion’sHead, Fresnaye, Ban-try Bay, a part of theForeshore, Robben Is-land, Clifton and partsof Camps Bay.

Smith, who servedtwo five-year terms asWard 77 councillor,says residents in hisward would be getting“two for the price ofone”.

“I am feeling slight-ly queasy that I have totrust other peoplewith the ward which Ihavegrownsoattached to.But Iwillbe actively involved. Schafer and Iwill still be working together,” hesays.

Smith, who decided to give up hisjob as ward councillor to focus on

There will also be an upgrade ofthe sea wall along Mouille Point,

Three-Anchor Bayand Sea PointPromenade andshe wants to re-start the CampsBay beach frontproject.

“There is a needfor maintenanceand upgrade of thebeachfront area ofCamps Bay so thatthere isn’t any fur-ther destructionand erosion of thebeach by theNorth Westerly

storms.“Thereare rockswhichneed tobe

laid right across the entire length ofthe beach where the grass and sandmeet, to prevent further erosion.The Integrated Rapid Transportsystem from Green Point to SeaPoint is another task which she willtackle.

“This will mean that there will beno more minibus taxis, and I hopethat the system will be up and run-ning by the end of the year,” shesays.

Bryant will man Ward 77, whichcovers Tamboerskloof, Gardens,Zonnebloem, Bo-Kaap, Vredehoek,Oranjezicht, the northern part ofTable Mountain and the easternpart of Signal Hill.

Ward 77 votes for the DA in-creased from 68% inthe 2006 elections to83,9% in this election.

Bryant says: “I havealready met with rep-resentatives of someneighbourhoodwatches and civic or-ganisations.”

The first priority forBo-Kaap would be toget green litter binsset up across the area.

his Mayoral Committee Safety andSecurity portfolio, has been listedon the proportio-nal representative(PR) list for SeaPoint, along withErrol Anstey.

Schaferhas a listof projects shewants to tackleduring her term.Camps Bay andClifton, she says,“need attention”.She wants to ex-pand the “effectivepartnership” withNGOs in the Cityand along SeaPoint to Camps Bay and Clifton.

“I believe the intervention of anoutreach worker to assist in the ar-ea will be effective. I want to get anNGO of homeless people to helpkeep Clifton and Camps Bay beachclean,” she says.

Crime will be tackled by workingclosely with the police, the Commu-nity Policing Forum and other safe-ty and security structures in the ar-

ea. There will also bea continuation of thegradual upgrade ofthe infrastructure ofSea Point pavilion,and Schafer willdrive the R30 millionupgrade of MouillePoint, Three-AnchorBay and Sea PointPromenade, whichwill be released instages over the nextthree years.

“I want to continueworking with the po-lice and NGOs to re-

duce the number of homeless peo-ple on the streets through reinte-gration programmes andcommunity court diversions, re-ducing the impact they have onbusiness and residents,” she says.

Beverley Schafer willtake over from Councillor JP Smith.

NEW BLOOD: Dave Bryant willtake over as ward councillorfrom Belinda Walker.

“The council is not in favour ofputting litter bins into residentialareas, but it is not entirely accurateto call Bo-Kaap a residential area.Many tourists visit the area,” hesays.

Bryant admits that Bo-Kaapneeds more attentionthan other areas inhis ward.

“The service deliv-ery in all the areas isthe same, but theCity needs to put ex-tra effort into the Bo-Kaap,” he says.

Derelict buildings,dumping and someburnt-out homes inthe area will be tack-

THE aroma of coffee greeted visi-tors to the Independent ElectoralCommission’s (IEC) Provincial Re-sults and Operations Centre in Bel-lville South on Tuesday.

And it took litres of the stuff tokeep the die-hard candidates, IECstaff and media representativeswho made the centre their home inthe 72 hours before, during and af-ter the May 18 local governmentelection – awake and alert.

“We have contingencies in placefor every aspect of the plan, andhave contingencies for those con-tingencies as well,” said provincialelectoral officer, Courtney Samp-son, a day before the elections.

Unfortunately these plans did notinclude heaters or blankets for theodd hundred who braved the coldnights in the hall.

For three long days and nights, acouple of chairs or a hard floor dou-bled as beds for the desperate.

But it was, nonetheless, hearten-ing to hear that everything thatcould possibly go wrong during thevoting process had been analysedand planned for by the IEC.

With 2 706 736 registered votersin the province, 387 wards, 1 572 vot-ing locations, 16 000 volunteers, 400areamanagers, 31municipal IECof-fices and 25 municipal officers, itsuffices to say that plans (and plansto deal with those plans) would playa vital part in ensuring a free andfair election.

Early on Wednesday, officials,

VIPs and the media opened the daywith an inter-faith moment ofprayer, but before words like“Amen” or “Ameen” stopped echo-ing in the hall, life at the centrewent into overdrive.

Thehustle andbustle conjuredanimage in my mind of a well-oiledmachine which was finally fulfill-ing its role. I’ve never been in a“war room”, but my Masters degreein Hollywood Science led me to be-lieve that the centre was just that.

Everyone was performing a vitalrole, and together theyorchestratedsomething of great significance.

The energy around the place wasintoxicating, and most questionswere answered with long, beautiful-ly crafted and passionate respons-es.

In the middle of the hall, 22 IECofficials who worked in what isknown as the operations hub at-tended to calls from the voting sta-tions and sometimes even the pub-lic.

Television stations lined up theVIPs for interviews, and journalistswere typing on their laptops withverve.

The coffee made its first appear-ance almost inconspicuously. Eventhough everyone there was underno illusions that the next few days(and nights) would be tough, fewwould have expected that a love af-fair of such magnitude would devel-op between them and that won-drous bean.

The results started trickling inlater that day to much fanfare, but

the energy levels seemed to set withthe sun.

Various press conferences andvoting updates spurred moments ofcommotion, and then handsreached for the empty mugs again.

Every now and again a personarmed with a Red Bull would zippast and talk really quickly, butmost would be concentrating onsoothing their heavy eyelids.

One woman thought she couldstay awake by drinking copiousamounts of muscle relaxants, butshe fainted and had to be rushed tohospital.

Questions were few and far be-tween, since the answers dwindledto one or two words.

“Why?” often cued “because”.The cold hall was magnificently

decorated with South African flags,IEC banners, colourful ribbons andemblems of political parties, but allthis counted for nothing in Arctic-like conditions.

Some ANC and Cope representa-tives made a fire in one of thehearths, which brought out somelight-hearted speculation that theremight be a coalition on the cards.

The return of the sun was eagerlyanticipated, and was eventuallywelcomed with open arms.

Spirits lifted and answers length-ened.

Results were coming in thick andfast, and generous adrenalineglands kick-started a busy Thurs-day for everyone.

On Friday morning there wasprecious little energy in reserve for

the brave. All that was left was theirunwavering belief that their effortsfurthered the cause of democracy inSouth Africa.

The whole election process wasdescribed by the IEC as a nation-building event which would go onto fill each voter with pride and abelief in a brighter tomorrow.

Now that the 2011 elections havebeen consigned to history, I look atthe effort put in by officials and themostly peaceful procession of vot-ers last Wednesday, and I am proudof what our country has become –a fledgling democracy fuelled byfreedom, reason, mutual respectand coffee.

A hasslefree day of electionsVERNA VAN DIEMEN

IT was smooth sailing for vo-ters across the Atlantic Sea-

board.

Besides the odd queue here andthere, andan IndependentElectoralCommission (IEC) staff member ab-sconding from a voting station,there were no other problems.

People’s Post visited voting sta-tions at St Cyprian’s School inOranjezicht, Rotunda in CampsBay, and Sea Fisheries garages andthe Sea Point Civic Centre, both inSea Point.

It was smiles all around, people

were upbeat, with most “just co-ming in to make their mark” beforeenjoying the rest of the public holi-day.

Estelle Talmarkes, presiding of-ficer at the Rotunda voting stationsays enthusiastic Camps Bay resi-dents were queuing from 06:00 tomake their mark.

“I was quite surprised when I gothere at 06:00 and the people were al-ready queuing,” she says.

At one point the line snakedthrough Rotunda’s parking area tothe gates, making it about 500 me-tres long, says Talmarkes.

One of the IEC officials left atabout 10:00 after being repriman-

ded for talking to a party agent ather table while tending to voters,she says.

“We have been coping without areplacement.

“We are the last district which ispart of the Hout Bay and Llandudnoward. We are far away from ourward, so it would have taken awhile for the person to get here.

“We have been coping fine with-out the staff member,” said Tal-markes.

Many voters had to be turnedaway from Rotunda because theywere registered in Clifton.

At Sea Point Civic Centre, theline was snaking all the way to the

Main Road when People’s Post ar-rived, but people were in good spir-its.

Dianne Anthony (25) from SeaPoint said this was her first time atthe polls. “I am pregnant now. Thatis why I am voting. I have to startmaking responsible choices for mychild’s future,” she said.

There was no guessing who out-going ward councillor JP Smithwould be voting for as he joined thequeue at Sea Point Civic Centre.

“I would not be so arrogant as tothink that without a doubt the DAwould win the Cape Town Metro,but I hope that voters will see thatwe are successfully running a

world-class city. I am optimistic,”he said. In Fresnaye, a pair of per-forming arts students from the UCTDance School “rewarded” voters.

Anthea Gilfillan and ChantalCherry gave each voter a round ofapplause for making their mark.

Kristin Kenmuir was delightedthat there was no queue at St Cypri-ans School where she cast her vote.

“The staff were very friendly andthe process was quick. It wasgreat,” she said.

Another voter, also at St Cypri-ans, made no secret of her votewhen she jumped out of her car andran to the voting station shouting“DA all the way”.

TRIUMPHANT: Alan and Linda Holzman, from Fresnaye, weredelighted to have made their mark. “You cannot complain ifyou don’t do something about it by voting,” says Linda.

Plucky plumber’s perilous pedalTERESA FISCHER

LOCAL legend, Peter the Plumber, hasbeen unblocking drains and patching upburst geysers since 1974.

His maroon Austin van is a familiar sightin Rondebosch, although it has been a littlescarce lately.

That’s because Peter Lamond swopped hisplunger for a bicycle pump to take part in a11 900kmbikingadventure fromCairo toCapeTown.

Sixty-four brave souls from all over theworld took part in the four-month trip, whichsaw them travelling through Cairo, Sudan,Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia,Botswana and South Africa. The group in-cluded everyone from a postman to a profes-sor.

Lamond arrived back earlier this month,but apart from a peeling nose, and wild, sun-bleached hair – lots of it – he seems fit and isnot walking like John Wayne.

Aged 64, he is the oldest cyclist to have com-pleted the “incredibly interesting” journey,which was punctuated by remarkable experi-ences he casually pops into conversation. “InNorthern Kenya a gang of AK47-wieldingrebels held us up.”

He explains he was with a small group ofsix riders when the incident occurred. “Theyfirst threw a spear at one of the girls. Thenthey fired about 12 shots past our ears,” he

says, adding it was “quite traumatic”, andlasted about 45 minutes.

The gang spoke no English and were verynervous, making them empty their back-packs.

But apart from being pelted by stone-throw-ing children in the hills of Ethiopia, their oth-er challenges were the natural kind, such asflooding rivers, quagmires and hailstorms.Andhittingwandering cows,whichmayseemunlikely, but was something a couple of thecyclists experienced.

“The weather was unbelievably changea-ble. We rode in absolutely torrential rain.” La-mond says if they wanted to get to where theyneeded to be there was no option but to hopon their bikes, whatever the weather.

He is one of only 14 participants who re-ceived an EFI medal for completing “everyfabulous inch”, even though he was very sickin Ethiopia.

“I was very determined; I won’t take sick-ness as an excuse.”

He was also awarded the “broken compass”award for his wayward navigation skills.

Asked whether he learnt anything thatwould change his life, he says: “At my age Iam not going to have some great bubble ap-pear over my head, a so-called light bulb mo-ment. I wanted to do it for the historical signif-icance of the Cape to Cairo route, and as a per-sonal achievement.”

Last year he had a hip replacement, and on-ly had a few months to train for this trip. But

cycling is in his blood. Most of his childrenhave been on trips with him, Nicholas toMadagascar, Sarah to Ghana, Simon to Mala-wi and John Craig to Tanzania. And that wasjust for starters. They have since explored Vi-etnam, India and Mexico.

The tour is organisedby theTourD’Afriqueexpedition company, which has a philan-

thropic mission. One-hundred and-fifty bikeswere donated to NGOs along the route, mainlyto medical staff so they can access more pa-tients.

Lamond also has two bikes and clothing do-natedby thegroup,whichwill be given to resi-dents of Kaya Mandi informal settlement nearStellenbosch.

The Swiss and Austrian Social Club is of-fering its great new venue to discerning over30s singles of all nationalities every Fridayevening.

Previously there were two venues in the ar-ea that catered for single persons that wereattended by regulars who came from as faras Gordon’s Bay, but due to expired leasesboth venues no longer exist, leaving the unat-tached at home and in front of the “non-so-cial” television.

Sex workersrescuedTWO more sex workers were rescuedfrom the streets this weekend by theCity’s Vice Squad during operations.

The two, one from Durban (17) and theother from Pretoria (29), alerted police totheir situation during the Vice Squad’sweekend raids in Sea Point, Green Pointand Cape Town.

In the latest operation by the team thisweekend, two women who had allegedlybeen forced into the sex industry wererescued from the streets of Sea Point andWynberg.

The squad dealt with 29 sex workersthis weekend; issuing 16 spot fines to thevalue of R12 500 and three written warn-ings.

They also profiled three new sex work-ers and served six warrants of arrests onsex workers.

Nathan Ladegourdie, the Vice Squad’sassistant chief, says the twowomenweresent to different places of safety.

“The 29-year-old was found on thestreets of Wynberg. “She approachedour officers during the operations and

said she needed our assistance to getout,” says Ladegourdie.

The woman had been brought toWynberg through a scam by a foreignnational, he says.

The 17-year-old, said she was force-fully taken from Durban by a foreignnational.

Ladegourdie says she was beingabused by her trafficker, who had as-saulted her and burnt her with plasticand cigarettes on various parts of herbody.

Many of the women who were beingtrafficked had been lured to CapeTown with the promise of work, hesays.

“Many of the women are assaultedand beaten, and the perpetrators havefree rein over them.

“So when they find the gap to getaway, they take it,” he says.

The City has limited informationabout the cases because the traffick-ers have still not been arrested.

“The case is sensitive so we cannotsay much,” says Ladegourdie.

The upsidedown worldof dirty old EskomTONY ROBINSON

IN a recent column we lookedat solar water heaters and howthey could save R300 a monthon your electricity bill. Nowlet’s turn all that upside downand look at it from the point ofview of the municipality andEskom.

Every solar geyser installedmeans a saving for you and a lossof roughlyR3 500 ayear in incomefor the City of Cape Town. A thou-sand installations will take theannual loss in revenue toR3,5 million.

Cape Town, however, has a pop-ulation in excess of three million,so the idea of solar panels on250 000 roofs is not unreasonable,but it would cost the CityR875 million a year in lost reve-nue at today’s prices. Next yearthe figure will top the billion randmark. And that will make a hugehole in the municipal budget!

Less than 10% of the country’spopulation lives in Cape Town, sowe can multiply the local figureby 10 and that means a potentialloss of R10 billion a year for mu-nicipalities across the country.The Eskom share of the losswould probably be R5 billion orR6 billion.

Solar water heaters are some-thing of a nightmare for the mu-

nicipalities and Eskom.Of course they have to make the

right noises, so Eskom tells us totweak the geyser temperature,use fluorescent lights and not toput too much water in the kettleto save electricity.

What we are seeing, folks, areconjuring tricks. A big distract-ing fuss over little things likekeeping the fridge door closedwhile great and highly profitableamounts of electricity continue tobe consumed by electric geysers.

The national energy plan saysdemand side management hasbarely scratched the surface of

the potential saving. And then itignores the obvious benefits andpredicts a huge increase in de-mand and the desperate need forhalf a dozen nuclear power sta-tions.

If the government was seriousabout the energy crisis therewould be a plan to phase out thepure electric geyser over, say,five years. Perhaps even a tax onelectric geysers to subsidise solarwater heaters.

The other evil in Eskom’snightmare is gas. A combined cy-cle gas power station would becheaper, cleaner and more effi-cient than anything Eskom isbuilding now. Even worse is thatit would open the way for a reticu-lated supply of natural gas to in-dustrial areas, and make it possi-ble for many factories to use gasfor their process heat. And Es-kom would lose major customers.

In fact, three plans for gas pow-er stations in the Western Capehave already been shot down.They were probably seen as thethin end of a dangerous wedge.

So the upside-down picture isthat solar water heaters, gas andserious energy saving are bad fordirty old Eskom, even thoughthey would be good for the coun-try, the climate and for us. Thegreat truth, folks, is that the elec-tricity you don’t use is the cheap-est electricity of all.

ETV’s Naked News, broadcast on a Fri-day night/early Saturday morning afterthe 22:00 movie, has unlocked controver-sy among various organisations taking a

stand for family values, including theFamily Policy Institute, which has calledon members of the public to write in toetv in protest against the show. In the

show, woman presenters present art, en-tertainment and lifestyle news either na-ked or while stripping down. etv says theshow will be aired over the next 12 weeks.

Time to deliverTHE local government elections are over; theelectorate has played its part, the IEC has en-sured a free and fair process, the victors havebroken open the champers and the van-quished have regrouped.

Now the real work begins.Every single election, be it municipal or na-

tional, be it at home or abroad, is characte-rised by electioneering. This courtship pro-mises voters the world – in this case, the city.

Politicians pull out all the stops, unreser-vedly so.

Their ultimate goal is power; power thatcorrupts; absolute power that corrupts abso-lutely – as (loosely) quoted by 19th centuryhistorian and moralist John Emerich Ed-ward Dalberg Acton, who said: “Power tendsto corrupt, and absolute power corrupts abso-lutely. Great men are almost always badmen.”

True or false?In the political context, it has been shown

to be the former and the names of some“great” South African men spring to mind.

One man’s name stands out, though – thatof an internationally-revered great man, ourown former president Nelson Mandela, whodid not succumb to the intoxicating lure ofpower.

Election results are proof that “the peoplehave spoken” and during this municipal elec-tions, the people elected to keep the ANC inpower, nationally. But in the coveted WesternCape, the DA has triumphed, obtaining anoutright majority in a number of WesternCape municipalities, including Cape Town,where the party secured 135 seats, followedby the ANC with 73, and the ACDP and Cope,with three seats each.

Delivery is crucial to running a city suc-cessfully, especially one as diverse as CapeTown. More importantly, though, the onus ison all political parties and their candidatesto honour the mandate voters have entrustedthem with and play equal leading roles in ele-vating all nine provinces to world-class stan-dards.

Dealing with bullies at schoolIN March this year, the Non-ViolentSchools Campaign – a project of theQuaker Peace Centr – launched an anti-bullying drive in 18 of its participatingschools. Members of the Peace Clubs andPeace Educators at these schools aretasked with designing an anti-bullyingdrive that best suits the needs of theirschool.

It is not enough just to remove the vic-tim from the bully’s midst, as the bullywill simply find another victim.

Both the bully and the victim needhelp, and everyone at the school musttake reports of bullying seriously.

Some schools ignore the victims’ com-plaints because they think the person isattention-seeking or being dramatic.

Sometimes these complaints arebrushed aside because nobody at theschool really knows what to do or just ha-ven’t got the time to deal with it.

Ignoring reports of bullying can haveserious consequences for both the indi-vidual and the school.

The anti-bullying drive includes anawareness campaign using posters, slo-

gans, meetings and events to ensure thateveryone in the school knows what to doif they feel bullied.

The school must create a culture thatfrowns upon bullying.

Some of the strategies and activities ofthe drive include

setting up Peace Clubs at the schooland establishing Peace Buddies as custo-dians of peace and non-violence at theschool.

As an organisation, we promote andmake all learners aware of the Bully Hot-line – 0800 055 555 – by advertising it visi-bly in classrooms and public places in allschools.

The next Anti-Bullying Indaba will beheld on Saturday 4 June at Glendale HighSchool in Mitchell’s Plain, starting at09:00.

Abolish bankcharges on pensionsON 5 MAY, me and my outreach team vis-ited a lady in Retreat who has a food kitch-en especially for senior citizens of the ar-ea.

After our praise and worship I starteda conversation, and this led to the issueof bank charges that the poor pensionershave to pay when they go and eagerlydraw their pensions.

Apparently the bank charges amount toabout R35. That may seem a small priceto the salariedworkers, but to thepension-ers it is like cutting off a leg and both arms.

On Sunday 8 May, at about 06:00, Iturned on my radio to Cape Talk and, loand behold, the topic was also about bankcharges for pensioners and the bite ittakes out of the low, but appreciated, pen-sion.

Some listeners who phoned in statedthat the Post Bank and Capitec Bank donot charge bank fees, and others statedthat if they have a large amount in thebank then this exempts a pensioner frombank charges, but who in this day and agehas that amount?

This, and what I saw on TV one nightwhere a pensioner had to eat mielie mealand fish oil, prompted me to write to ourgovernment to obtain exemption frombank fees for pensioners.

Mrs Zille and De Lille, take up this issueas stated above, and let our pensioners’payment problems become an issue of thepast.

Who stole the land first?COMMENTING on “Fools Rush in” inPeople’s Post on Tuesday 10 May.

If it is correct that Mr Malema accus-es the whites of stealing the land fromhis people, it indicates his knowledgeof history is rather limited.

What he does not know, or perhapsconveniently omits to mention, is thathis ancestors stole this very land fromthe people who owned it, the San andthe Khoi.

His ancestors from central and westAfrica only invaded southern Africansome 2 000 years ago.

According to Mr Malema’s princi-ples, the land should be handed back tothe San and the Khoi.

PS: People criticising the Pick n Paysmart card are selfish.

Think of the suffering that could bealleviated if every Pick n Pay customerdonated the R10 per R1 000 spent to acharity.

One million customers donating R10per month would amount to R10 mil-lion rand per month.P DURINGClaremont

In addition to leading worshipfor the church, this talentedgroup reaches out into the com-munity to raise awareness andfunds for the Sunflower Fund, acause close to the team’s heart.

The relationship with the Sun-flower Fund began eight yearsago, when one of the band’s lead-ers, talented musician, youngwife and new mother, SarahHechter, was diagnosed with ter-minal cancer.

During her illness, Sarah andthe band began to raise aware-ness for this cause throughtheir music, and Sarah wroteand recorded “The Song of theSunflower”.

Since her passing, the VCCband has continued to supportthe Sunflower Fund, in Sarah’smemory. All proceeds fromthese concerts go to the Sun-flower Fund. This year, theband will be joined by the FishHoek Primary School Dramagroup and the Sarah CookneyAcademy of Dance.

Presenting ... Mel Miller!BARRY HILTON

gave a consum-mate performance thatis still rememberedfondly in Fish Hoek,and next up on theComedy Legends in theValley series is the gi-ant of stand-up come-dy, Mel Miller – a larg-er-than-life presencein South African ven-ues and TV loungessince 1963.

Mel will be performingin Fish Hoek on Satur-day 11 June in the FishHoek High School Hall,which is becoming quitethe entertainment ven-ue!

The appearance – and indeed the entireComedy Legends in the Valley series – isa fundraiser for the Shark Spotters. BarryHilton’s show was a sold-out success witha capacity crowd of 570 people enjoyinghis classic comedy in May.

The Comedy Legends in the Valley se-ries is organised by local comedian MarkSampson, who had the idea to bring all thecomedy legends down to the south penin-sula so that local audiences could be treat-ed to South Africa’s best – while support-ing a good cause. The series is proudlysupported by People’s Post as print mediasponsor.

Mel Miller has just returned from asold-out show at the Sydney Opera Houseand has also recently been awarded theComic’s Choice Lifetime AchievementAward.

He is very well-known for his “Potroast

and Biltong” TVshow in the 1970s, inwhich South Africancomedians were pit-ted against Britishcomedians. The showreally took off and atone stage had moreviewers than the BBCprogramme “TheWorld at War”.

Mel has crossed thesometimes delicatelines of age, cultureand colour and in theapartheid days rel-ished telling it as it is.He was picked up bythe security cops in1985 after a show atthe Carlton Hotel, tak-en to the Hillbrow po-

Corporate award forSeaboard womanTHREE ANCHOR BAY resi-dent, Lindie Buirski, has re-ceived a prestigious awardin the corporate category ofthe 2011 Regional BusinessAchievers Awards.

Buirski was recognisedfor her environmental edu-cation, training and capaci-ty-building work by theBusinesswomen’s Associa-tion Cape Town on Thurs-day 5 May.

She is employed as head ofEnvironmental CapacityBuilding, Training and Edu-cation by the City of CapeTown’s Environmental Re-source Management (ERM)department.

Among others, she man-ages the City’s Youth Envi-ronmental School (YES)programme, which reachesabout 65 000 pupils in CapeTown, as well as the SmartLiving campaign, runningtraining programmes forstaff, corporates, business-es, schools and communi-ties.

She has also managed theCity’s Environmental In-terns Programme for young

graduates for the past sixyears, as well as an Environ-mental Education, Trainingand Development Practicelearnership focusingonstafftraining to improve their jobfunction.

The awards recognise out-standing achievements bywomen in business, and are

presented in four categories,namely: entrepreneur, so-cial entrepreneur, profes-sional and corporate busi-nesswomen.

Each finalist was nomi-nated by other business-women, and underwent tworounds of adjudication. Inthe corporate category,Buirski was up against twonominees from the privatesector, and it is particularlyimpressive that a local gov-ernment representative haswon the award.

Osman Asmal, director ofthe ERM department, says:“For over 11 years now,Lindie has been a real assetto the Environmental Re-source Management depart-ment, and her value to thedepartment and the City isnoteworthy. Her achieve-ments within local govern-ment are significant, partic-ularly considering that envi-ronmental educationrequires expertise across adiverse arena – from energyand climate change, to biodi-versity, to recycling and wa-ter security.”

READY FOR BATTLE: Thousands of fans flocked to the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday21 May, to watch the Urban Warriors, Ajax Cape Town F.C, capture their first PSL trophyin 11 years. However, the sea of red left the stadium disappointed, as the title wentto Orlando Pirates on goal difference. Ajax required a victory, but failed to deliver, drawing 22 with Maritzburg United. Pirates on the other hand spoilt the party by beatingGolden Arrows 21, with a late winner by midfielder, Isaac Chansa. In the photo areJohn Le Roux and his threeyearold son, Keyan.

Racing through historyTAURIQ HASSEN

IMAGINE a race through the historybooks, passing many of the historiclandmarks built by the slaves in theearly 1700s.

This vision will become reality when theJive Slave Route Chal-lenge kicks off on Sunday12 June.

It will consist of fourevents; a half marathon,a 10km run or race/walk, a 5km fun run orwalk, and a 10km bigwalk.

According to FaroukMeyer, organiser of theevent, the race is de-signed to place empha-sis on the historic sitesbuilt and created by theslaves.

“This race has to bedifferent to the otherraces in Cape Town, be-cause almost the wholeof Cape Town was builtby slaves, and there aremany historical land-marks to be seen,” saysMeyer.

The race starts off inDarling Street in frontof the City Hall, movesup Keizergracht towards District Six,down Roeland Street into Orange Street,then through the Company’s Garden andinto Bo-Kaap before the race finishes onthe Grand Parade.

Some of the landmarks along the routeinclude:

. The Whipping Post on the corner ofBuitenkant and Darling streets, which

was once a place of torture and execution.This was a post to which slaves and con-victed persons were tied while receivingcorporal punishment.

. The Auwal Mosque in Bo-Kaap’s DorpStreet is the oldest mosque in the country.The Muslim faith was brought to South Af-rica by slaves brought to South Africa by

the Dutch East India Com-pany.

This mosque’s historydates back to 1794 and theproperty was owned by afreed slave, Salie Coridon,of Ceylon.

. Old Slave Church,South African Mission Mu-seum at the top of LongStreet, was founded by theSA Missionary Society in1799 to spread Christianityto the slaves.

. The Castle of GoodHope was built by the Dutchin 1666 after their arrival.

The Castle was erected asa five-pointed star on theforeshore of Cape Town. Itis one of the oldest surviv-ing buildings in SA.

“Everybody is encour-aged to join the race, be-cause it’s an opportunity to

explore your history dur-ing a race, which is some-thing different and excit-

ing,” says Meyer.People’s Post is proud to be the print me-

dia sponsor of this event.Entry forms for the race will be made

available on Thursday 26 May.For further information, visitwww.ithe-

ko.org or contact Farouk on 083 460 6736 orFatima on 083 943 6236 or Shiehaam on084 991 1200.

This racehas to be

different tothe otherraces in

Allister vs Jake –Allister vs Jake –coaching duel awaitscoaching duel awaitsTASMIN CUPIDO

AMATCH of two halves – this is howone can describe the match between

the DHL Stormers and the Blues at EdenPark in Auckland on Friday morning.

And with the Blues convincingly takingthe first of the two halves, going into half-time with a 19-3 lead, no Stormers fan canbe criticised for not believing that theirteam could come back to win the match.

But it was the men from the Cape whocame back guns ablaze, winning the mostimportant half and securing their first winon their tour of Australasia.

They beat the home side 28-26, with a last-minute try by captain Schalk Burger, andan all-important conversion by stand-in fly-half, Dewaldt Duvenage.

The relatively young side, without manyof their experienced stalwarts, stood up tothe challenge laid down by the Blues, withthe centre pairing of Johann Sadie and Juande Jongh undoubtedly the stars in the per-formance.

“They were playing against some prettygood opposition, and showed some greattouches. I am really pleased with their per-formance,” coach Allister Coetzee said ofthe young duo’s performance.

“The win is a massive morale booster forthis side, and definitely stands us in greatstead for the rest of the competition.”

The men from the Cape now turn theirsights to the capital of Australia, Canberra,where they will face a struggling Brumbiesside.

And it is also in this match where Coetzeewill meet his former coaching team-mate,Jake White, who recently accepted the posi-

tion of head coach of the two-time champi-onship side. However, he will only be as-suming duty in 2012, but a recent surge inplay by the Brumbies – they drew 13-13 tothe Western Force in Perth on Saturday –indicates that White may already be assist-ing the side.

With White and Coetzee working closelyto secure the 2007 World Cup victory for theSpringboks, it will be interesting to see justhow much these two breeders remember ofthe others’ style and coaching techniques.

The Brumbies’ preparations have beenmarredby the fact that star performers suchas Matt Giteau, Adam Ashley-Cooper andMark Chisholm have already signed upwithother teams fornext season,while inju-ries to the likes of captain, Rocky Elsom,have forced them to field relatively inexpe-rienced sides week after week.

However, one can never write off a sidelike the Brumbies, who have also been run-ners-up in the competition on three occa-sions. And with key players such as Jeande Villiers, Jaque Fourie and Peter Grantreturning from injury, team selection willbe interesting, after the performance bySadie and De Jongh last weekend.

Many have indicated that Coetzee andbackline coach, Robbie Fleck should look torest the pairing – De Villiers and Fourie –before the last stretch of the competition,while others have said that the two shouldplay with the younger pairing playing onwing. If that should happen, the experienceof Bryan Habana (wing) and Conrad Jantjes(fullback) will be lost, with paceman, GioAplon moving to fullback.

A different approach may not always benecessary, but could prove vital in the re-maining weeks of the competition.
