A cycle route along the Constantiagreenbelts will provide more areas formountain bikers to cycle legally and in
a safe environment.This is according toward councillor Eliza-
beth Brunette, who presented the proposalat a Protea subcouncil 20 meeting last week.The motion received support from the
ward councillors present at the meeting.Brunette says Constantia has 113 hectares
of public open space incorporating green-belts andmeadows along riverine corridors.“Families, hikers, dog walkers and horse
riders use the extensive network of path-ways established in the 1980s by City parksand increasingly maintained by the Friendsof Constantia Valley Greenbelts with assist-ance from City parks,” she says.The City’s parks department does not cur-
rently permit cycling in the greenbelts, butas the popularity of mountain biking hasgrown, cyclists have started riding there.“A group of enthusiasts approached me to
request that the City allow cycling along aspecific route that would connect to the Ta-bleMountain National Park (TNMP) in Tok-ai and Rhodes Drive in Constantia,” shesays.In going forward with the request Bru-

“The cyclists group has accessto funding that can supplementthe limited funding that Cityparks has for proactive and re-active maintenance while acode of conduct will clarify howall users can use the pathwaysin the public open spaces,” Bru-nette says.She says the cyclists group
will institute self-policingmeas-ures which will require cycliststo have a bell on their bike towarn other users of their pres-ence on a trail, a bike board foridentification, a speed limit andagreement to give way to otherusers of the paths.“Mountain bikers who have
traditionally used the cyclepaths in the TMNP, Tokai andConstantiaberg, which is closedto the public for at least 18months since the devastatingfires in March, will have an al-ternative route connecting
them with the TMNP in areasthat are open to the public,” shesays.Brunette says additional peo-
ple using the greenbelts will en-hance the safety of other usersand neighbouring properties.“A public participation processwill allow other users to com-ment on the use of the Constan-tia greenbelts by cyclists andthe memorandum of under-standing and agreement be-tween City parks and the cy-clists group,” she says.Themembers of subcouncil 20
have decided to support the pro-posal and requested that theCity parks department initiatethe public participation proc-ess. If the public supports theproposal then City parks willdraw up the agreement with thecyclists group to define the rolesand responsibilities related tothe routes.

CapeTownboasts the second largest aggre-gation of white sharks in the world and
the largest aggregation on the doorstep of amajor city.Having completed ten years of shark re-
search, Shark Spotters recently released areport mapping trends in shark movementin False Bay over the last ten years.This season saw fewer sharks visiting the
waters than previous years, with 142 sight-ed. Over the last decade, almost 2000 sharkshave been spotted. “There is significant an-nual variation in the number of shark sight-ings andwhile we don’t yet fully understandthe drivers of shark distribution it is likelya set of environmental variables such as wa-ter temperature or biological variables suchas prey availability,” explains Shark Spot-ters research manager Alison Kock.
70 years oldThe average shark sighting lasts 17 min-
utes, with 77% of the sharks swimming inone direction as they pass through the area.The remaining 23% patrol the area, makingat least one circle.The research has identified over 440 by
photo identification. Over 130 have beentagged for scientific purposes.“It is only through long-term monitoring
that we can better understand the drivers ofoccurrence anddistribution of sharks,” saysKock.“White sharks can live up to 70 years of
age and have different prey, use differenthabitats and have different habits over theirlifetime, most notably from when they areborn and feed primarily on fish and other
sharks to when they start to consume ma-rinemammals. Furthermore, there are long-termenvironmental cycleswhichmay influ-ence distribution and habitat use,” she says.The shark exclusion net has been de-
ployed 240 times since the trial period beganinMarch 2013. Forty sharks have been sight-ed when the net was out of the water and an-other 39 when the net was in the water.On the whole, sharks remain more than
50 metres from the net. On two occasions
sharks have come within five metres of thenet. One shark swam towards the net andthen turned away sharply. The other swamalongside the net before veering away.White sharks are present in the bay all
year round, but in the winter months maleand female sharks tend to aggregate aroundSeal Island to prey on young Cape fur seals.In summer, female sharks typically aggre-gate inshore, preying on other sharks andfish.
False Bay is home to a large proportion ofthe Southern Africa white shark populationthat depend on the sea life here for food, ex-plains Koch.“Seal Island provides a stable source of
food for them. In summer months there isalso food such as schools of yellowtail, geel-bek, soupfin and smooth hound sharks. Alarge white shark needs to eat one seal pupor the equivalent every three days just tostay alive,” she explains.White sharks feed at the top of the food
chain on a variety of prey, ranging fromsquid, to fish and dolphins and even scav-enge on dead whale, says Kock.“They have a direct impact on prey abun-
dance and indirectly they impact prey be-haviour. For example, prey will spend a lotof time trying to avoid being eaten, and thecombination of these two effects means thatwhite sharks play a regulatory role in ourbay, influencing ecosystem structure andfunction,” she says.
Healthy ecosystemThe presence of sharks, especially those at
the top of the food chain, is a sign that thereis enough food to support them, which sug-gests a relatively healthy ecosystem, Kocksays.She adds education is key to conserving
sharks and the ecosystem. “Educate yourfriends and family about sharks. One of thebiggest problems is fear and misconception,which are obstacles in getting people to careabout sharks. There are many species ofsharks and rays in Cape Town, especiallyFalse Bay. Some of them are commerciallyexploited, others are caught in recreationalcatch and release and others are importantfor eco-tourism,” she says.

He swings baton for local upbringingBrandon Phillips (35) from Kenwyn hasbeen appointed resident conductor of theCape Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO).This was recently announced by CEO
of the CPO Louis Heyneman at the CityHall at the start of a CPO concert.Phillips, who is also principal bassoon
and music director of the Cape TownPhilharmonic Youth Orchestra, holdsthe title thanks to partial funding byRMB Starlight Classics.Phillips was also the first winner of the
Len van Zyl conductors’ competition in2010.Phillips has been a member of the CPO
since its inception in 2000 and has alsoconducted frequently, nationally and in-ternationally – last year to great acclaimwith the MIAGI youth orchestra in Am-sterdam and the Philharmonie in Berlin.Born inMitchell’s Plain andwith roots
in the New Apostolic Church, Phillips isnot only a great musician but also arolemodel with the ability to play severalinstruments. He graduated from UCTwith a diploma in orchestral studies fromthe College of Music during 2002 and anHonours degree in 2003.“We are so proud of [Phillips] andwhat
he has achieved. Without the Cape TownPhilharmonic Youth Orchestra, hewouldn’t have had the opportunity to be-come the fine young conductor he is to-day.“He had an orchestra at his fingertips
to nurture him and from which to learn.This led to many professional engage-ments, from theCPO to theJPO, andmostrecently tohis engagement to conduct theballet Spartacus and also assist RichardCock in next year’s RMB Starlight Clas-sics,” says Heyneman.

‘Broken pumpneeds to go’ASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Apumphouse inConstantia has been van-dalised repeatedly over the last decade
and this has prompted the local subcouncilto approve a motion that it be demolished.The pump house is situated five metresfrom the dam next to the M3 at the Exit 14
Southbound offramp.Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette saysthe pump house has repeatedly been van-dalised bymetal thieves. Equipmentwas re-placed continually by the City of CapeTown’s sports and recreation departmentuntil 2013.“The department then decided that the re-peated expenditure and the inconvenienceto sports clubs could not continue and thatthe department would install boreholes atGildale sports complex in Constantia MainRoad,” she says.The vandalised pump house has becomea haven for street people “with associatedsecurity, social and environmental prob-lems”.Brunette says since the pump house is nolonger used to provide water to the localsports facilities there is reason to have it de-molished as it no longer serves the purposefor which it was built.“Boreholes are being used to source non-potable water for irrigation purposes and itis no longer in use,” she says.She further says that the vandalisedpump house occupied by street people is asecurity risk.Brunette tabled her motion at the Proteasubcouncil 20 meeting last week and it wassupported by the other members.“Subcouncil 20 now seeks approval fromthe community services departments,which include sports and recreation, fi-nance and the property management de-partment to demolish the vandalised pumphouse at the dam,” she says.
The local subcouncil has approved a motionthat the pump house along the M3 bedemolished.

High schoolersget a look at lifeGARY VAN DYK
There was a buzz of youthful enthusiasmon the campus of the University of the
Western Cape on Saturday when the thirdannual youth indabawas hosted at the facil-ity.Hosted by UWC’s HIV&Aids Programme
and the City of Cape Town’s department ofsocial development (youth developmentand early childhood development director-ate), 600 children from selected areas in theCape Peninsula participated in the pro-gramme that highlighted answers to manyof the problems that they face.UWC spokesperson Aidan van den
Heever explains that this youth indabaaims to reduce risk in these troubled areas.“The children from these communities
form part of the life skills healthy livingphoto-voice project, facilitated by UWC’speer educators under the supervision of theCity of Cape Town and UWC staff,” he says.“It offered high school pupils from a vari-
ety of schools the opportunity to look attheir community from behind the cameralens – teaching them basic photographyskills, while also creating awarenessaround important social and community is-
sues. This event provided a voice for youthas far as community issues are concerned,allowing them to become agents of changewithin their respective communities.“It offered a formalised space for youth
from around Cape Town to discuss the so-cial problems they experience in their com-munities.”Speakers at the event included deputy
mayor of Cape Town Ian Neilson, UWC dep-uty vice-chancellor of academics Prof Viv-ienne Lawack, representatives from theCity of Cape Town, the director of the HIV&Aids Programme and the junior mayor ofthe City of Cape Town junior city council.While finding solutions to the problems
that face them in their neighbourhoodsplayed an important part in proceedings,the highlight was a performance by singerJimmy Nevis.During his performance Nevis also en-
couraged them to find their positive poten-tial and be an integral part of making achange for good where they live.“Don’t let your circumstances keep you
from your dreams. Keep fighting to becomethe best you can be,” he said.Communities from across the Cape Pen-
insula participated in the Youth Indaba.

City pensioners get home helpAlmost 6 000 old people have benefited fromhome-based help provided by theCity in thefirst part of this year.Because of its success, the programme
will be renewed in the new financial year.The City’s social development depart-
ment established the programme to give ba-sic care to older persons and people withdisabilities in their homes, explains SuzetteLittle, mayoral committee member for so-cial development andearly childhooddevel-opment.“We recruited 125 home-based caregivers
through the expanded public works pro-gramme to provide a range of services toour vulnerable residents. They receivedtraining and then did community profiling,meeting with various organisations thatare active in their areas to introduce them-selves and explain what their purposewould be,” she says. This included clinics,the police, old-age homes and organisationsthat help old people.
They then did a door-to-door investiga-tion to identify older persons in need.The primary responsibilities of home-
based caregivers include community profil-ing and collection of data for areas, assess-ment of care needs, aid with reading, help-ing with mobility and walking, as well asproviding conversation and listening.Caregivers also helpwith the preparation
of meals, provide a break for family mem-bers and other caregivers, do light house-keeping and see to personal care.These services have been provided in
Athlone, Atlantis, Beacon Valley, BellvilleSouth, Bishop Lavis, Bonteheuwel, Gu-gulethu, Harare, Hanover Park, Lans-downe, Lentegeur, Manenberg, Masiphu-melele, Ocean View, Philippi, Rocklands,Tafelsig and Valhalla Park.“Our home-based caregivers have done
us proud, offering direct care and servicesto 5 557 older persons fromFebruary toMayalone,” Little says.

HOUT BAY
We play role in paroleASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
The department of correctional serviceslast week held an imbizo where it high-
lighted the rights of victims, the procedureof the parole board and the contribution oftresidents to the parole sitting.The meeting was attended by the local
community policing forum, neighbourhoodwatch members and the Hout Bay police.Pollsmoor area manager Ntobeko Mketh-
sane explained that parole placement is theconditional release of an offender subjectedto continuous good conduct and adaptationfrom a correctional centre after a minimumprescribed portion of sentence has beenserved in the centre and under specific con-ditions that allow for the offender’s re-incar-ceration in the event of non-compliance ofconditions of placement.“However, we cannot place parolees in so-
ciety if the community where they originatefrom does not play a role,” he said.Mkethsane said placing someone in a cor-
rectional facility is the last place where theycan be “corrected”. Being released on paroleis also a big responsibilitywhich comeswithmany rules and regulations.“We always urge the person that has been
convicted and sentenced to the correctionalfacility to interact with their family mem-berswhile they are in the facility. This inter-action helps the prison to build a relation-ship with their family, but also to come toterms with where they are in their life. Thisinteraction further helps them when theyare released or granted parole,” he said.Mketshane also spoke about the role of vic-
tims who reside in the communities wherethe parolees will be placed once they are re-leased and the role they play.“We encourage the victims of crime to in-
teract with us if they feel that they have theneed to speak to the person who committeda crime against them. This forms part of thehealing process but also part of the process
to make the perpetrator of the crime under-stand how they have made the victim feel,”he said.Mkethsane saidwhile it is the responsibili-
ty of correctional services to ensure that pa-rolees are following procedure they urge thecommunity to be their eyes and ears as well.“We cannot do this on our own, we cannot
be watching over a parolee at all hours of theday and week. If we want to see that paroleeis successfully reintegrated we must all takeresponsibility. If they are not adhering totheir parole conditions thismust be reportedto us,” he said.Meanwhile, Lieutenant-Colonel Bongani
Mtakati said while correctional services isplaying its part in assisting prisoners
through various programmes in prison, par-ents too need to show leadership skills byshowing interest in their children’s lives toprevent them from ending up in prison.“Parents who not show interest in their
children or who do not report a crime theirchild has committed are also criminals,” hesaid.Mtakati also called on victims of crime to
stand up and to voice their concerns whenit comes to the release of prisoners so theycan better understand the process.“We do not want this cycle of crime and
violence to continue within our communityor anywhere else. If we can all take responsi-bility we can better our futures and the fu-ture of the youth in our community,” he said.

Plumstead signal to improveASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Thedevelopment of a rooftop base telecom-munication station in Plumsteadwill im-
prove voice and data network coverage tocellphone users in the area.A proposal for the station received sup-
port from Protea subcouncil 20 members ata meeting last week.The subcouncil report states that the sta-
tion will be installed on the rooftop of Con-stantiadale Flats inMainRoad andwill com-prise a four-panel antenna mounted on topof the building, a microwave dish mountedon the antenna pole and an associated equip-ment container.The applicant’s motivation for the instal-
lion of the base station states that the stationwill not impact on the surrounding landusesand is in line with the City of Cape Town’cellular communications infrastructure pol-icy because it uses existing structures forthe installation of equipment.However, two objections were received
with regard to the proposal.The objectors stated that the more tele-
communication stations there are thebiggerthe risk of radiation.The objectors were also concerned about
the school that is situated in close proximityto the building. They stated that the equip-ment is not safe for residents in the sur-rounding area as it may be detrimental totheir health.In response to the objectors’ concerns the
applicant noted that current research ontelecommunication base stations has con-cluded that base stations donot pose ahealthrisk.The application further stated that cell-
phones are low-powered radio-frequencytransmitters, adding that using cellphonesin areas of good reception decreases expo-sure as it allows the phone to transmit at re-duced power.The objectors claimed that “studies have
demonstrated cellular DNA damage, disrup-tions and alterations because of exposure toelectromagnetic fields and the risk of devel-oping health risk side effects”.But in response the applicant stated that
the International Commission for Non-ion-izing Radiation Protection’s guidelines pro-
vide a means of limiting and guiding expo-sure to electromagnetic fields.The applicant stated that these guidelines
have become the world standard for humanexposure to electromagnetic fields and thatemissions from all existing and proposedbase stations comply with these guidelines.The subcouncil report further noted that
residents in theareawill not be theonlyoneswho get the benefit of the services of the basestation, but visitors to the area and dailycommuters will benefit by having access toimproved communication facilities.As part of their motivation for the ap-
proved proposal, the applicant also statedthat mobile communication has become animportant safety and security element inmodern society.

Girls in communities acrossCape Town are learning skills
like soldering, as the Micro Enter-prise Development Organisation(Medo) rolls out a programme toencourage women to take up jobsinmaths, science and engineering.After partnering with big busi-
ness, Medo identified that there isa considerable shortage of techni-cal skills required to fulfil theneeds of businesses in this coun-try.
Not just boysScience, technology, engineer-
ing and mathematics careers – ofwhich there are scarce skills – rep-resent eight of the top 10 occupa-tions that are most in demand inSouth Africa.However, the 2014 matric results
saw only 7.6% of pupils passingMaths with more than 60%, while5.5% managed the same in Physi-cal Science.This need gave rise to an ambi-
tious plan to pull more youth intothese underskilled industries.The plan focuses on teaching
schoolgirls technical skills. Theprogramme will see Medo launch-ing the first privately owned satel-lite in Africa, which the pupils willhave a part in sending to space.The ultimate aim is for these
youngwomen to construct the pay-load to be launched with the satel-lite early next year.A group of young women from
schools around Cape Town weretaught some of these skills last
week in a workshop. By the end ofthe day each participant had builtand soldered their own robot –from scratch – that can be con-trolled in movement, light andsound.Tamaryne Bimray, who attend-
ed theworkshop lastweek, says thenew skills empower girls in a fieldtraditionally associated with men.“The programme inspires girls
to create things that would usuallybe made by boys. We learnt to sold-er a circuit board, adding abattery,resistor and light,” she explains.Learning about engineering and
making things are skills thatshould be rolled out to all women,believes Maymoonah Stegmann,another participant. at the work-shop.“More girls should learn this. It’s
not just boys that can do it,” shesays.
SatelliteThe programmewill run a series
of half-day workshops to introduceyoung women to electronics andthe basics of practical science, fol-lowed by a week-long camp duringthe school holidays during whichthey will design and test their sat-ellite experiments.Finally, pupils will be offered ex-
tended school holiday internshipswithMedo to finish thedesignsandbuild the satellite.“The intention of this pro-
gramme is not to be a once-off; itis to be the start of at least a decade-long drive to inspire young peopleto enter the science and technicalfields,” says Medo CEO Judi San-drock.

Is there nowhere sacred anymore?Churches, mosques, temples and graveyards were once
holy ground. They were places only the devout dared totread, and they were places that were treasured and re-vered.But no longer.Graveyards have become home to vagrants, with tomb-
stones torn apart to make a quick buck. They have be-come places to attack unsuspecting visitors to their fami-ly resting place.And places ofworship have not faredmuchbetter. They
are now kept locked and bolted, to prevent thieves takingoff with the few possessions within.Prayer times have been tarnished with the fear of petty
theft. The faithful dare not linger in case they aremuggedafter worship.And shockingly, last week in the United States, wor-
shippersweremurdered in a place thatwas once a sanctu-ary. So what is left for those seeking to be closer to theirGod, for those looking for fellowship and a sense of com-munity?You may not believe in the teachings of that church or
worship inside thatmosque, but these institutions are thepillars of our communities.These are the places that offer refuge to the lost, the
desperate and the abused. They are places that teach usright from wrong, tolerance and love, kindness and com-passion.Holiday programmes that keep our children off the
streets are often linked to these places of worship. Manyoffer skills development or life coaching.They are the places we go to celebrate weddings and
births and to mourn the passing of our loved ones.It should fall to each of us to preserve these holy places,
whether you are a believer or not, because to care forthem is to care for our communities.
Poo to you too,you’re inconsiderateI was totally shocked by the rudeness ofa dog owner on the Vlei late Sundayafternoon.I had walked across to the Vlei with
my two granddaughters to climb theirfavourite trees and said: “You can runon ahead.”“No,” said the 11-year-old, “One can’t
run and see to avoid the dog poo so youdon’t step in it.”Which was very true seeing how much
of it was lying around.Then we headed to the children’s park
area and there was a large man walkingwith his large dog a little way behindhim.The dog stopped and did an obviously
big poo, but the man just kept walking.I thought maybe he had not noticed so
caught up with him to tell him, so thathe could pick it up.He obviously did not have a packet
with him and he made it quite clear thathe did not intend to pick up any poothat his dog made.In fact he was so adamant and rude,
maintaining that he would not pick upanything his dog did, and didn’t I haveanything better to do than approach himon this matter.He told me to “get a life” and find
something better to occupy my timewith.I said children use this park and can
step in it. He commented heatedly thathis grandchildren had stepped in dogpoo and they were still alive and whatwas I on about?I said, then why bring his dog here to
the Vlei to do his business, why not doit in his own garden and let his owngrandchildren step in it rather thanmine?He said the trouble with picking up
dog poo was that the packets would clogup the system and it was natural to justleave dog poo around to rot and returnto the earth.And the same problem would occur
with him picking up dog poo in his owngarden.I guess he would rather leave it to rot
on the Vlei than in his own garden –faulty reasoning at best!And off he stalked in the direction of
the yacht club, muttering somethingabout walking on the Vlei for years.My eight-year-old granddaughter
remarked: “Well, Granny, I guess the dogdid do it near a tree, so maybe thechildren at the park won’t walk in it.”I have lived at the Vlei for 44 years
and dog owners never left their dogs’poo around like they do today.Where is the respect that we used to
have back then? It certainly was a betterworld.Maybe we need patrolling around who
can use their time profitably to monitorthis problem instead of harassing thelaw-abiding dog-walking public who pickup their dogs’ poo by saying “You maynot walk your dog off the lead else I willfine you”, which is absolutely ridiculouswhen there is not another soul on theVlei.I saw that happen one day to an older
couple, walking their little dogs, and sawthem being “harassed” by some officialtelling them to go to the beach pastSunrise to walk their dogs – a beachunprotected and where that very samecouple had been attacked before.Let’s get our act together and ensure
that the correct people are apprehended– the ones who are leaving their dog pooaround for unsuspecting children to stepinto.
JEANETTE AIREY,Sandvlei
True coloursshining thruVery soon we will once again hear agentle tap on the door, be greeted with awarm smile or be amazed at the suddengreeting of “Good day, Sir/Madam”.Our lamp posts will be draped in
different colours. We will hear the blareof loud music and dances parading ourstreets. The speeches so well preparedand memorised will be delivered in ourcommunity halls, streets and localpapers.Very soon the local election campaign
will start in all earnest.It always amazes me to hear the same
promises and after five years see so fewresults. It amazes me when even betterpromises are made this time round bythe same people, with even better andbigger promises. What is even moreamazing is the fact that we are bombard-ed with insignificant outcomes, insignifi-cant detailed reports and insignificantfuture plans.What tops all this is the fact that the
very people who do the canvassing (forfree or maybe a prospect of some “bene-fit”) are still where they were five yearsago. If they did move on, their progressis nothing to write home about.The voters who believed them are no
better off than a few years ago.So, during the past period of reign,
where were these “friendly faces”? Whathappened to the much applauded promis-es, the vision and mission statements, thelong-term goals and objectives? Was fiveyears not ample time to make it all cometrue? Where were those who wereentrusted to lead our communities? Arewe still in the desert or are we about toenter the Promised Land?So after all the hype and once again
same drills and fanfare . . . We just all goback to the township life.For another five years.It’s time to seek and vote for the true
leader. The one who stands for truth andrighteousness, the one who is guided bytrue principles, the one who does notseek own gain, but seeks the One inwhom we will all gain.

Brandon wins canoe route changeThe Western Cape Canoe
Union’s (WCCU) two-day K1canoe race, the Pink Lady
Drakenstein, held on the Berg Riv-er last weekend, was hosted thisyear by the Paarl Canoe Club un-der the leadershipof both chairper-son Eric Farringer and the PinkLady’s Rob Meihuizen.It was a well organised event
with some 150 paddlers takingpart.Notwithstanding the minimal
rainfall that the Western Cape hadreceived before the start of therace, the Berg River was runningvery low – so much so that theplanned first day of racing fromPaarl to Hermon (45km), waschanged to a route from GoudaBridge to Bridgehouse (30 km).The second planned day of pad-
dling also changed from a start onthe Berg River dam and end inPaarl (21 km) to a route from Paarlto Skooltjie near Wellington(23 km).The race was won by Peninsula
Canoe Club’s Brandon van derWalt.Given the success of this event,
