As fire season officially starts this month,theVolunteerWildfire Services (VWS) is
calling on Capetonians to be fire aware.Always assume that a wildfire or a house
fire can be ignited, says VWS marketing di-rector Marisa Galloway.VWS is a firefighting organisation made
up of over 200 volunteers at four stations.Started 15 years ago in response to devastat-ing fires in Cape Town, the organisation isa first responder to fires in Table MountainNational Park and works closely with otheremergency services.“How awildfire is started does not change
anything for us. We always go out and fightfires aggressively but safely. It is importantformembersof thepublic to alwaysbeawarethat open fires, fireworks, Chinese lanternsand cigarette butts not only cause damageto thenatural environment but also posema-jor fire risks,” she says.A large part of fighting wildfires safely is
team work, says VWS Newlands stationmanager Jon-Jon Emary.“One of our members hit the nail on the
head by calling what we do ‘high-speed gar-dening’. Imagine digging, cutting and
smothering flames in as quick a time aspossible for eight hours. Team work, safe-ty, training and fitness are so crucial towhat we do,” he says.“We go out together and return together.
Some days wewin and others we don’t, butevery single time we go out we do so witha smile on our faces and pride in ourhearts.”Every day is a highlight at the VWS,
Emary says.“This year alonewe have had the biggest
operational season we have ever had, seenmore support and donations from the publicthan ever before and had the largest intakeof new volunteers ever,” he says.The team was instrumental in fighting
fires earlier in the year, such as the blaze inCape Town in March.“To this day the week of the Cape fire was
the most challenging. The management ofthe incredible influx of donations, sendingout numerous fire crews, handling the me-dia and trying to squeeze some work in be-
tween it all was a huge task. I have to takemy hat off to every single one of the amazingvolunteers who assisted,” he says.The organisation faces some unique chal-
lenges, with all members working as volun-teers and needing to be safely kitted out.“At times it’s a struggle. Between a very
demanding day job, fire calls and managingthe Newlands fire base, it is a massive task.The reality is that if you’re passionate aboutit you will find the time,” Emary says.“The costs associated with fighting fires
are extremely high. Just kitting out one fire-fighter costs about R3000. On top of that wehave vehicles to maintain and refuel as wellas equipment to service and replace. It’s safeto say that without funding we wouldn’t beable to dowhatwe’re passionate about,”Gal-loway says.And input from the public is vital, espe-
cially in preventing fires, she says.“Have a smoke alarm installed in your
house. Please don’t let off Chinese lanterns,particularly over New Year’s. They mayseem beautiful, but they pose a massive firerisk. Educate your children about the dan-gers of fires and bring them to our open dayso they can learn more about fires and theVWS,” she says.V The VWS open day will take place on Sunday 29November at the Chrysalis Academy in Tokai forest.The family day will let children of all ages interact withVWS volunteers, learn more about the organisationand fires and see firefighting displays. Entry is free andfood will be on sale. Only cash and Snapscan payments will be accepted for food and beverages. Visitwww.vws.org.za for more information and to preregister for the open day.

A top thriller becomes children’s booksNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
Bundles of pages from local author LaurenBeukes’s latest book have been transformedinto artworks by more than 130 of South Af-rica’s top creatives. The artworkshavebeensold to raise funds to bring the joy of readingto more children.All proceeds from the exhibition will go
towards Book Dash, and will allow for theprinting and distribution of storybooks tochildren in need. For each artwork sold, 150illustrated children’s books will be printedand distributed.The project has been sponsored by Nan-
do’s and has seen curator Jacki Lang selectemerging local artists, designers, illustra-tors, architects and photographers – includ-ing Brett Murray, Conrad Botes, GabbyRaaff, Kilmany-Jo Liversage, Lien Botha,Liza Grobler, Matthew Hindley, Mia Wid-lake, Paul Senyol and artists from the Nan-do’s Art Initiative.The works are created from or on pages
torn from Beukes’s most recent novel Bro-ken Monsters.“I tore a few pages out of the book at a
time, tied them in a bundle with twine, andhanded themout to the artists in person andvia post. The artists could choose which pa-ges in their ‘random’ bundle they wanted tocreate artworks on. For every artist that se-lection is their ownprocess,” explainsLang.“Some of the artworks relate to the words
and story on that particular page and somedon’t. There were also some artists whoasked for extra bundles of pages so that theycould contributemore artworks to the exhi-bition and the cause.”
Beukes loves art and artists and often in-cludes them inher stories, saysNando’sArtInitiative spokesperson Louise McCann.“Since her book Moxyland she has run
collaborations with artists around her sto-ries. When Lauren launched her interna-tional bestseller The Shining Girls herfriend Jacki Lang, an ace curator based inCape Town, suggested to Lauren that theycreate an exhibition where artists createartworks on pages torn from The ShiningGirlsas a fundraiser for a charity,” she says.That art show was a success, with all the
artworks sold in ten minutes and R100 000raised for Rape Crisis in Cape Town.Book Dash is a charity close to Beukes’s
heart.“Reading is about understanding the
world and who we are in it. Stories allowus to live other lives, to spend time in some-one else’s head, to feel empathy. Stories al-low us to be more than we are. It’s a bigtheme inBrokenMonsters – the doors in ourheads. So Book Dash felt like the perfectcharity partner. What could be better thanusing a book to create accessible art to fundmore stories with art that become accessi-ble books in the hands of kids?” she says.
Artworks inspired by local author LaurenBeukes’s latest book have been sold to raisefunds for a children’s literacy project.

The Red Cross War Memorial Children’sHospital honoured its founders at the an-
nual Remembrance Day celebration onWednesday last week.
The day is celebrated on 11 November tohonour the World War II servicemen whodonated two days of their pay towards whatwas to become the Red CrossWarMemorialChildren’s Hospital.
Their vision then was to create a livingmemorial in honour of their fallen com-rades. Today, the world-class hospital savesthe lives ofmore thanaquartermillion chil-dren each year. Next year the hospital cancelebrate 60 years.
Military dignitaries in regiment uni-forms have gathered with their families onthe hospital’s premises on RemembranceDay each year since 2011, and a ceremonytakes place to pay tribute to the heroes whooriginated the iconic hospital.
The ceremony has grown in stature and
attendance and this year more than 150guests and members of the public attended.Theprogramme included theCapeFieldAr-tillery Pipes and Drums, the Isivunguvun-gu Youth Band, marching sentries andMoths standards, the “Last Post”, two min-utes of silence and “Reveille” as well as awreath laying.Liz Linsell of the Children’s Hospital
Trust says it is important that they ac-knowledge and remember the veteranswhowere so instrumental in the founding of thehospital.In 1945, it was suggested that a children’s
hospital be built as amemorial to thosewhohad contributed by sacrifice, suffering andservice inWorldWar II. It was felt that chil-dren had been the innocent victims of thewar, so thehospitalwas devoted to the reliefof the suffering of children.The building commenced in 1953 under
the guidance of the SouthAfricanRedCrossSociety at a cost of R1.6m. In 1956 the owner-ship of the hospital was handed over to theWestern Cape government.
Richard Lawrenson (89), a World War II veteran, honours the veterans who were instrumentalin the founding of the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital at a Remembrance Dayceremony last week.

Nurse nominated for workTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
A nurse at Mowbray Maternity Hospitalhas been nominated for this year’s pres-
tigious Cecilia Makiwane RecognitionAwards.
Beatrice Africa, clinical programme co-or-dinator and head of the nursing educationdepartment at Mowbray Maternity Hospi-tal, was one of the 12 nurses nominated.
Africa believes nursing education is a de-manding and precise educational process.Nursing staff commit to remaining educatedand well-informed with the latest and mostaccurate information available, to ensurethey provide patients with the best care.
“It is such an honour to be nominated forsuch a prestigious award. I am humbled bythis experience and thankful to my familyand colleagues for their support and encour-agement,” says Africa.
The annual provincial awards is hosted bythe Western Cape health department andpays tribute to the nursing staff who havegone beyond the call of duty.
In 2009 Africa launched a training projectat the hospital, which specifically focused onproviding parents of preterm babies withthe necessary knowledge and skills to savetheir baby’s life during emergencies.
“We clearly explain to parents in a simpli-fied manner the potential complicationsthat premature babies undergo, such as the
likelihood that they may stop breathing aft-er discharge. Parents are taught the impor-tance of continuing with kangaroo mothercare treatment after discharge and advisedto monitor their babies closely. They aretaught to get to know there babies and howto identify a healthy and an unhealthy baby.The training also provides parents with aclear step-by-step basic infant resuscitationguide in order to save their babies livesshould the need arise,” explains Africa.
“Beatrice’s strong commitment to herwork and dedication to this project are testa-ment to the important role nurses play in thehealthcare industry. We salute her andthank her for the contribution she has madeto the nursing fraternity at Mowbray Mater-nity Hospital,” says Janine Joemat, chief ex-ecutive officer at Mowbray Maternity Hospi-tal.
With 29 years of active duty, Africa saysthat she was inspired to pursue a career innursing by her two sisters, who are alsonurses.
“I must admit nursing wasn’t my firstchoice, but I don’t regret the path I have cho-sen. I enjoy working at Mowbray MaternityHospital, because I form part of a very dy-namic multidisciplinary team,” says Africa.
Apart from spending time with her daugh-ter, Africa would like to further her studiesand pursue a Master’s degree to do researchand generate evidence on the outcome of thetraining project.

CPF big on policepartners for safetyTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
The Claremont Community Police Forum(CPF) says it has done exceptionallywell
in having an open-door policy with theClaremont police.At its annual generalmeeting at St Ignati-
us ChurchCPF chairpersonAbdulKerbelk-er said theymanaged to build a “strong andlasting” relationshipwith the police stationcommander, Colonel Enolium Joseph.The meeting was attended by various
crime-fighting committees and residents tohear what the CPF has been doing over thepast year.The CPF has also managed to do well by
getting community members involved inthe past year, Kerbelker said.He said they were happy that they did
well andhave broughtmore people togetherto help improve the area.“In the past we have looked to the govern-
ment to come down and help us fight crimein our areas, but that didn’t happened. Thatgave birth to social activism and people hadto come together to solve their own prob-lems. We had to sort out the bottom, that isfighting crime, and as theCPFwehave beeninvolved in this with a sense of pride anda sense of community partnership in build-ing a safer Claremont for all. This is what
we strive for all the time,” he said.“Claremont crime is specific and that re-
quires a difference response and we havemanaged to achieve good responses whenaddressing crime. We have establishedopen, clear communication with the police,whichmakes it relatively easy forus to fightcrime,” he said.Joseph said thework that theCPFdidwas
amazing and that he was very grateful fortheir partnership.“We as the police have realised we can’t
police in isolation. Through working to-gether they have managed to keep crimelow in the area. Partnerships developedhave led to solid work. We are committedto a safe environment for the communityand we will continue to work together forthe better of our area,” he said.Wayne Aldridge, a principal inspector of
the problem building unit of the City ofCape Town, encouraged property owners totake care of their buildings and familiarisethemselves with the bylaws.“People should know the difference be-
tween a problem building and a buildingwith problems. We don’t demolish housesand in this area it’s even more difficult be-cause of most houses being in a heritagesite. If the building is giving you a problem,let me know. I hunt the owner down and Ihave fun,” he said at the meeting.

lieves established art-ists should be doingmore to be help-ing the nextgenerationof musi-cians.“I think

lege of singing with one of theworld’s most sought-after per-formers, Welsh baritone BrynTerfel, when he toured SouthAfrica last year.“When youhear that you’ll be
performing with a big star likeBryn, a lot of things go throughyour mind.”Siphamandla wondered what
kind of person he would be andwhether he’d be easy to workwith, but her apprehensionswere soon laid to rest.“Bryn was not only amazing
on stage but off stage as well;very funny and always willingto offer advice.”Another one of her career
highlights is singing the role ofSusanna inMozart’s Le nozze diFigaro.“It was such a welcome chal-
lenge to do as the role is not onlymentally and vocally challeng-ing, but physically as well.”Although she has many fa-
vourites, Siphamandla isa big fan of Puccini anddreams of one dayplaying the title rolein his Suor Angelica.“I love Puccini’s
music . . . all thelines, the emotionand intensity arejust amazing.”

The players of St Martins softball clubwere put through their paces by Tan-tasports in a Cape Town Softball Asso-
ciation match at Turfhall on Saturday.Had it not been for the eight runs scored
in the sixth and seventh frames, St Martinswould have been staring down a comprehen-sive defeat in a tightly fought encounter.Tantasport will feel hard done by followingthe hard work it put into the five frames pre-ceding the St Martins onslaught.
Tanta sprung into a 4-0 lead after the open-ing four frames, but could not add to its tallyas it would succumb 8-4 to St Martins.
The match saw five pitchers thrown intorotation, where Saints made use of threepitchers – Shanine Groepies, Lindsay Da-mon and Bonita Cloete. Between the threeof them, they saw off seven batters, strikingone out while letting another three walk,conceding three well-deserved hits, result-ing in runs, where one intentional walk wasconceded.
Saints’s third pitcher, Cloete, saw off 13batters, striking out one, while conceding ahit through a fielding error.
Only Aneeqa Davids (1-3) en Kathryn vanBoom (1-4) achieved joy with the bat, beingthe only Tantasport batters to obtain hits.
Nevertheless, they kept Saints honest un-til conceding 9 hits off pitching sisters Rox-anne Albertyn (5) and Justine Stewart (4).
For Saints, Danielle Ford (1-3) and RobinPackery (2-4) hit a home run each and alsoaccounted for six RBIs amongst each other,while Aime Ford (1-2), Damon (1-2) and Han-lynne Cast (2-3) also performed well withpowerful bats.
