HOUT BAY: PROTESTS IN THE STREETS

Councillor, residents clashMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique.duval

The relocation of ImizamoYethu residents has triggeredweek-long protests.

On Monday 19 May, as council-lors gathered to attend the monthlymeeting, aggravated residents pro-tested outside the Good Hope Sub-council offices and raised concernsabout Hout Bay ward councillorMarga Haywood.

Barry Mitchell, the deputy secre-tary for the Johnson Mayeki ANCbranch, says residents were in-formed some of them would be tem-porarily relocated during the con-struction of a MyCiTi bus station.

In response, the party requestedHaywood attend a public meetingon Friday 16 May.

Mitchell says Haywood refusedas the invitation came from theANC. “So I invited her in my per-sonal capacity, but she did not ar-rive,” he says.

Mitchell accused Haywood of de-nying residents access to informa-tion about the relocation.

Residents tried to enter the coun-cil building and attend the meetingbut were stopped by Law Enforce-ment officers.

They were informed while thepublic is allowed to attend themeetings, they are not allowed to

address the councillors.Subcouncil chairperson Taki

Amira says that at the request ofHaywood he addressed the crowd.

“I agreed to meet with the personthey said led them to address theirconcerns,” he says.

Amira says the crowd was invit-ed to attend the meeting on condi-tion they respect the proceedings.

Haywood says residents were in-formed and consulted about the re-location. She explains nine fami-lies from Imizamo Yethu who had

built their dwellings on Molok-wane Street were relocated as theyposed a safety risk.

“When fires broke out, firetrucks could not get into ImizamoYethu and so we consulted theseresidents about moving them to a

temporary holding area near thetaxis,” she says

Haywood explains the familiesentered into contracts with theCity of Cape Town acknowledgingit was a temporary arrangementpending the public participationregarding the plan for a R200mhousing project on a 16ha site.

It is at this site where residentshave staged protests.

According to an earlier state-ment by the City of Cape Town, thethird phase of the project will see883 community residence unitsand 49 Gap houses being built.

Haywood says with the introduc-tion of the MyCiTi bus service toHout Bay, the families were againconsulted about relocating to this16ha site during the constructionof a new MyCiTi station.

Mitchell has accused Haywoodof not communicating with resi-dents as “they were not DA vot-ers”. He said ward councillorswere required to hold public meet-ings to address issues raised by thecommunity.

Haywood says she did not attendthe public meeting as it was “extraordinary” for a political party to re-quest a ward councillor’s presence.

She says she regularly communi-cates with residents in ImizamoYethu despite the claims of theANC.

Mobilising thecommunityASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Creating community awareness aroundcrime prevention was one of the focus are-as highlighted at BKM’s general meetinglast week.Chairperson of the Bergvliet, Kreupel-

bosch, Meadowridge NeighbourhoodWatch ( BKM) Alan Down revealed hewatch’s 2014/2015 plans in which he point-ed out the importance of working with po-lice and security advisors.The meeting, which took place at Sweet

Valley Primary School in Tokai, was at-tended by about 80 residentswhowere pro-vided with vital information with regardto their safety and the operations conduct-ed by the watch.“By working with police, security advi-

sors and local Law Enforcement we seekto unite the community in the area to cre-ate a stable and crime-free environment,”he says.Down’s presentation included the short-

and long-term goals for the watch, one ofwhich is to develop a sustainable market-ing programmewhich aims to keep peopleengaged, involved and taking ownership.“Our short-term goals for the 2013/2014

financial year was to increase generalawareness of BKM as well as to increaseinvolvement,” he says.BKM’s long-term goals for the 2014/2015

financial year is to create awarenessthrough their newsletter, Twitter accountand their website. “These three platformswill give us the opportunity to engagewithresidents which will ensure we are proac-tive and always communicating,” he says.With their community events BKMhave

been able to increase their membershipwhich, Down says, has been a “resoundingsuccess”.“We are calling on residents to joinBKM

aswe are aiming to increase our patrollinghours.We do not expectmembers to patrolevery night, but to volunteer at least twohours a month to patrol. If we can get 50people to join it will make a huge differ-ence in our community,” he says.

PROPERTY: POTENTIAL BUYERS SHOULD MAKE INFORMED CHOICES

House hunting? Know your rightsLAILA MAJIET

@laila_newsie

Buying or selling property through anestate agent?Here’s how to protect your interests

when doing so, andwhat you can do if thingsgo wrong.Investing your life savings to buy a prop-

erty is not an easy decision to make.But knowing you’re in the capable hands

of an upright estate agent may make the ex-perience a lot less daunting.While all estate agents are required to reg-

ister with the Estate Agency Affairs Board(EAAB), many have been found to be operat-ing without the required certification.The board is a body established by govern-

ment to protect your interests when you buyand sell property through an estate agent.The board’s marketing and publications

manager, Margie Campbell, says verifyingthe status of the estate agent is as easy aspicking up the phone.“They (potential buyers and sellers) can

phone our call centre on 087 285 3222 and pro-vide the estate agent’s name and ask themto verify or they can view our website andunder the agent search key type in the estateagents name,” she says.People’s Post recently reported on a princi-

pal estate agent plying her trade without therelevant certification (“Evicted familycharged with trespassing”, 15 May).Record of sale by a company which pro-

vides comprehensive data, analytics andsystems on property shows estate agentMishka Cassiem (Truter) bought a propertyon 23May 2012. It was purchased by the newowner on 26 June 2012 and transferred joint-ly to both the new owner and Cassiem on 12September 2012 by means of a simultaneous

transfer.A principal agent is required to have ob-

tained an NQ5 certificate as well as a Fideli-ty Fund Certificate, authorities confirm.Without these, a principal agent is fraudu-

lently selling property, according to theboard“Only licensed estate agents are supposed

to dealwith real estate transactions betweena buyer and seller or landlord and tenant,”Campbell says. Unlicensed estate agents canbe slapped with a fine of up to R25 000.A lack of knowledge and understanding

puts potential buyers at risk.Principal real estate agent Shereen Abra-

hams says the industry is tainted by “doggedagents”, these are agents who persist inmaking a sale to the point of annoyance.“I encourage potential buyers and sellers

to familiarise themselves with the processof buying and selling a property through anestate agent before taking the plunge,” shesays. “Dogged agents will easily take advan-tage of people’s lack of knowledge.”Ask questions before signing off your

hard-earned money, Abrahams encourages.“Make sure you are credit worthy. Pre-

qualify yourself at the bank to know whatyou can buy for,” she advises.“Look at what is on the market in your

price range and view a number of propertiesto get to know the value of houses on salein the area you are purchasing.“Also inspect for defects as renovations

and repairs are costly. Compare what youlike on each property and follow your in-stincts.”In an attempt to buy a house, potential

buyer Chantelle Rooi (41), says she uncov-ered a handful of “dodgy estate agents whoare in it just to make a quick buck”.“I had the money to buy a house in my

neighbourhood. Ihad been livingwith my motherand decided I wasready to makethat move,” shesays.But she was in

for a shock whenestate agentsdrove her aroundthe neighbour-hood to view po-tential homesfrom the windowof the car.“They would

never allow me toget out of the carand view the in-side of the proper-ty. That is when Iknew somethingis wrong,” shesays.This has wa-

vered her trust inestate agents.“You just don’tknow whom totrust.”Do you suspect

your estate agenthas violated thelaw or the code ofconduct governing the industry?Youmay lodge a complaint inwritingwith

the EAAB. You are entitled to claim repay-ment from the board’s fidelity fund if an es-tate agent has stolen or mismanaged yourmoney.The complaintmust contain an exposition

(a comprehensive description and explana-tion) of the conduct andbedelivered byhandor by registered post. The EAABwas unableto confirm the number of unregistered es-tate agents reported to them.V Call the Estate Agency Affairs Board whistleblowerhotline on 0800 223 225.

A plan by Wynberg residents to havetheir voices heard has been given thegreen light.

This follows the official formation of theWynbergResidents’ andRatepayers’Associ-ation during their inaugural meeting lastweek.

More than 70 residents filled the Odd Fel-lows Hall to have their say in the formationof the new association.

A committee has been elected and theroles of each person will be given at theirfirst meeting next week.

Residents elected includeSamWilcox-Die-dericks, Darron Araujo, Karen Gird, Kristi-na Davidson, Philip Kruger, Norman Job-son, Julian Emdon, Adam Pike and BennieBunshee.

The newly formed association will havetheir hands full as they tackle various issuesincluding the proposed relief road, vacantproperties, crime and the plan to constructthree town houses at 27 Orient Road.

At themeeting residents adopted the draftconstitution and discussed various items forthe assocation to tackle.

Dubbed the relief road saga,Davidson saidthe information received from the City ofCape Town was contradictory.

She said the only solid document they hadwas the Area Transport Plan.

Davidson said she had consultedwith var-ious consultants including a city plannerwho that said in urban planning terms therewas no justification for the couplet scheme.

She said the associationwould continue toseek answers from the City until the plansfor the MyCiTi routes are revealed later inthe year.

Vacant properties beingusedbydrugdeal-ers and prostitutes are also a hot topic. Pre-viously, residents and police have raisedconcern about activities at these propertiesand asked that the plots be fenced.

One resident highlighted that many ofthese plotswere also being used by business-es in Main Road for parking and feared clos-ing them off would increase the amount ofvehicles parking in the side streets.

Araujo said there were many ways theplots could be used to uplift the communityand suggested the association look into thepossibility of planting indigenous trees andorganic agriculture.

Crimewoes also took centre stage asArau-jo suggested the association be representedon the Wynberg Community Police Pre-cinct.

The meeting was addressed by Pius Oki-ror,manager of theHavenNight Shelter andCPFmember who informed those present ofan upcoming annual and election meeting.

Wynberg acting Visible Police Command-er Lieutenant-Colonel Rufie Nel says follow-ing the resignation of the chairperson Jim-myYoung and the treasurer, an electionwillbe held at the police station on Wednesday

28 May at 19:00. It is a public meeting andall are welcome to attend.

Ward councillor Elizabeth Brunette ad-dressed residents and informed them of thevarious public participation processes. Shesaid when residents’ and ratepayers’ associ-ations are registered with the City, officialsensure they are informed of all new bylawsand other legislation, planning and liquorapplications among others.

Araujo also raised the application to build

three town houses at 27 Orient Road andquestioned whether or not the associationshould take the matter to the City Ombuds-man. He said despite 60 objections the appli-cation was given the green light by the Pro-tea Subcouncil and residents were con-cerned about, among others, the impact onthe sewerage system.

A woman stood up and said for severalyears she has watched various residentialdevelopments being built and had no impact

on the sewerage system.Araujo said residents shouldnot forget the

buildingwas declared a problembuilding af-ter it was not secured by its owners.

Following a fire and notices from the City,the house’s entrances were bricked up andbarbed wire erected around the house.

On Sunday 18 May the barbed wire ap-peared to have been bent.V Share your thoughts. Staring with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT: EMPOWERING PARENTS TO CARE FOR DISABLED CHILDREN

Unlocking their potentialJODY FORTUIN

@JodyF13

Parents struggling to cope with provid-ing their disabled child with an im-proved quality of life, need not despair.

There is help.Uhambo Foundation, founded in 2010, is

an NPO with the mission statement of sup-porting the rights and equal participation ofpeople with disabilities in communities.The NPO considers itself a fierce propo-

nent of equality for all, and strives to createand assist in the social development of chil-dren with disabilities.Lorraine Frost is the foundation’s general

manager and says that cutting through allthe stress of running the organisation andpromoting their message, the joy of a disa-bled child accessing its potential makes itworthwhile.“We are helping 700 children from infor-

mal settlements to learn how to speak, playand just be active,” she says.“It is a blessing seeing a child not knowing

how to talk the oneday, to counting and sing-ing songs after six months. I can’t describethe feeling.”Uhambo Foundation has established part-

nerships with the City of Cape Town, NPOsand private sectors to develop appropriateand safe wheelchair provision and commu-nity-based services and training.“We try our best to create opportunities

for people with disabilities in less-resourcedsettings by building an inclusive society,without barriers for all,” says Frost.The foundation raises ongoing financial

resources from local and internationalfunders to ensure sustainable outcomes ofthe Uhambo Foundation’s objectives.They actively participate in local and in-

ternational policy development, policy im-plementation programmes and in advocacyand raising awareness.UhamboFoundationhosts disability focus

groups, therapy sessions and classes thatteach parents how to play with their chil-dren with disabilities to stimulate the chil-dren’s development.The foundation also has Day Care Disabil-

ity Support programmes and the Ndinogona“I can” stimulation programme for childrenwith disabilities.The Ndinogona “I can” stimulation pro-

gramme involves the use of play and it as-sists carers to play with and stimulate chil-dren with disabilities, allowing them to par-ticipate in everyday activities.The Ndinogona Stimulation Kit also im-

proves the children’s responsiveness, reduc-es sensory and behavioural problems.There are only three permanent workers

at Uhambo Foundation. Nobuntu Ngcoyi,who works in the community developmentsection of the foundation, takes care of allthe community outreach programmes in-cluding disability focus groups and supportgroups for families.Ngcoyi says: “In my culture, disability is

associated with witchcraft, so parents areafraid of taking their children out of thehouse.“Weencourage themtomeet otherparents

who suffer with the similar fear whichmakes it easy for them, because they don’tfeel alone and ashamed anymore,” she says.

The Uhambo Foundation helps childrenwith disabilities find schools that are moresuitable for their needs.They also create job opportunities for the

older children.The training courseshostedby the founda-

tion comes in different forms.They train care givers to help the children

with physical treatment, they train the par-ents how to work with their children’s con-dition and they help find the cause and howto improve physically and mentally.Rochelle vanderWalt, themain facilitator

and trainer, says: “I work on stimulating thechildren on a one-on-one basis, because it isimportant to give them your full attention.“I was a teacher at a mainstream school,

but ever since I worked with children withdisabilities I gravitated to people with spe-cial needs and that’s what I do now.”The most important training the Uhambo

Foundation does is train the care givers,

familymembers and health workers regard-ing the care, management and rehabilita-tion of children with disabilities to ensurethe prevention of secondary health compli-cations.“If a child does not have the right wheel-

chair, then he/she can’t do the programme,that is whywe use theMadibaBuggy,” Frostsays.TheMadibaModular Postural Seating De-

vice (Madiba Buggy) is designed and madeby Shonaquip.It provides full body support for people

with severe disabilities.The disability equipment and training or-

ganisation has expert therapy teams thatmake sure the individual is comfortable andcorrectly seated in wheelchairs and otherbody support devices.V For more information on Uhambo Foundation callLorraine Frost on (021) 797 8239 or go to www.uhambofoundation.org.za.

CRIME: OLD CARS BROKEN INTO

Cops on alertCar thefts, break-ins and robberies have

kept police in Wynberg, Diep RiverandHoutBaybusy lastweek.Andwith

an increase of car thefts in Wynberg East,police are cautioning motorists to be morevigilant.According to acting Vispol Commander

Lieutenant-Colonel Rufie Nel, oldermodelsare being targeted and police have no sus-pects. He says the thefts have increasedsince April.In an earlier report, police said Sector 1

– which covers Main Road and UpperWyn-berg – had been hit with one theft a day(“Car thefts on the rise”, People’s Post, 24April).At the time, Wynberg Police spokesper-

son Warrant Officer Silvino Davids saidoldermodels parked in side streetswere be-ing targeted and police had no suspects.They have subsequently caught one man

breaking into vehicles in this area.Now Nel says they have seen an increase

in this crime inWynberg East. Thieves aretargeting older models which do not haveanti-theft devices. Many of the thefts takeplace during the week between 10:00 and18:00 in parking lots and vehicles parked inthe street.“Motorists driving older models must

look into preventative measures such asimmobilisers and gear locks as this willhelp deter the thieves,” he says.In Hout Bay, police put the brakes on a

robbery on the mountain when three menwere overheard plotting their crime.According to a police report, a SANparks

ranger overheard the trio planning a rob-bery and informed police.Warrant Officer Brian Ooshuizen visited

the scene where the men were spotted andarrested them.After questioning the suspects, officers

followed up the information and went totwo dwellings in Imizamo Yethu where

theyarrested twomore suspects for the pos-session of stolen property.The first three suspects were charged

with conspiracy to commit robbery.All fivemen appeared in theWynbergMagistrate’sCourt this week.In Doordrift, a domestic worker was left

traumatised after shewas tied upwhile heremployer’s home was ransacked by twomen on Friday 16 May.The owners reportedly left the home at

08:10 and the woman arrived five minuteslater, entering the house with her own key.Diep River police spokesperson Warrant

Officer Keith Chandler says she walkedaround to the rear side door and was ap-proached by two men who threatened her.“The perpetrators took the key from her

and forced her into the home where theytied her up with TV cables, suitcase strapsand wrapped a hose pipe around her beforeplacing her in a bedroom,” he says.He says they ransacked the house, open-

ing “virtually everydrawerandcupboard”.Several items, including a video camera,

cameras and jewellery were stolen.The suspects spent over an hour in the

home and fled the scene through the gar-den, damaging the electric fence as theymade their way to the M3. “The damage tothe electrical fence set off the alarm, towhich a private security company respond-ed. They found the domestic worker whohad freed herself,” Chandler says.Police responded quickly and officers as-

sessed the situation before calling for atrauma councillor, detectives and foren-sics. It was discovered the suspects had duga tunnel under the vibracrete wall from theM3 into the property.Police believe the suspects waited in the

tunnel until they saw someone walking inthe garden, giving them the assurance thatthe beams would be turned off.The woman was not hurt.

RESTITUTION: DEVELOPMENT ON THE CARDS

Family plans next stepMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

It was a day of reconnecting, story tellingand the revealing of big plans as the HadjiIsmail Solomon Family Trust gathered at

the Retreat Civic Centre to celebrate gettingtheir Constantia farm back.The trust is one of two that were recently

awarded a land restitution claim for the OldSillery Farm along Ladies Mile Road.Trustee Sharief Solomon said due to the

state of the land the family has ruled out thepossibility of using it as a farm.They have now approached developers

and are looking at the possibility of building

a mixed-use development consisting of ashopping centre and upmarket apartments.“We are in talks but have not made any

decisions or applications yet,” he says.Solomon says the family will first have to

consider the current zoning of the land.The family –who is spreadacrossAthlone,

Retreat, Grassy Park, Wynberg and Manen-berg – have also not yet decided if they willlive in the planned residential complex.“We are still in discussion and will see

whether it will be beneficial to let the apart-ments. We also need to look at how Constan-tia has changed since we left and what willbe best for its current residents,” he says.In 1902, the land located next to the Ladies

Mile Drop-off wasbought by brothersHadji Abdullah andHadji Ismail Solo-mon who used theland for farming pur-poses.In 1969 under the

Group Areas Act, thefamily was forced tosell the land andmove after Constan-tia was named a“white area”.In 1999, the Hadji

Abdullah SolomonTrust and Hadji Is-mail Solomon Trustmade application tothe Land ClaimsCourt for the restora-tion of their land.Galema Solomon

(72) the oldest daugh-ter of Hadji Ismailreminisced about her

mother’s flower garden and the days theyspent working on the farm.She explained the Solomon brothers

worked hard and were awarded a contractwith a shipping company to provide freshvegetables to the ships.She says becoming despondent was a

struggle, fearing the family would never getwhat was rightfully theirs.“But we fought until the end and today we

celebrate and reconnect with our family,”she said.Grandchildren and great-grandchildren

who didn’t know the Solomon brothers weretreated to avideodocumentary outlining thefarm’s history.Several elders spoke of their experiences

and how they longed to return.Galema sheds tears when asked to reflect

on the day they were removed.“The only thing I can say is that people

should fight forwhat is theirs andnever giveup,” she asserts.The family celebrated with prayer, a

lunch and reconnected with those they ha-ven’t seen.

TRUSTEES: The trustees explained their roles and plans for theConstantia farm. Pictured in the back row are Abdullah Solomon,Haroon Abrahams and Igshaan Akoojee. In front are Ayesha Majiet,Galema Solomon, Rywayda JakoetSolomon, Samier Booley, ShariefSolomon and Jawuyer Davids.

The Cape of Good Hope SPCA has dis-pelled rumours that its Horse CareUnit has closed its doors.

Rumours of the “closure” had the Capehorsing fraternity abuzz on socialmedia onThursday.But the matter has been dismissed by

of the rumour to help us dispel it.”

The unit has been operational for 19years. “There are currently 10 horses, threedonkeys and four ponies in the unit’s care.The unit’s primary function is the preven-tion of cruelty to all equines. It offers arange of services andhas anon-selective ad-missions policy, so we will never refuse ad-mission to any equine in need – be it a thor-oughbred race horse or humble donkey,”Perrins says.The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Associa-

HEALTH: BELOVED DOCTOR HANDS OVER THE REINS TO WORTHY SUCCESSOR

Community left in good handsAvailability, affability and ability.

This was the philosophy that a Pine-lands doctor based his practice on.

Dr Mike Porter hung up his stethoscopeand handed over his practice to spend timewith his family and friends.

Porter began his practice in Pinelands 47years ago when consultation was R1.90 anda home visit R2.50.

“Although I am sad to leave the manyfriends I have made in the close-knit Pine-lands community my wife and I (Jenny Por-ter, professor of anaesthesiology at RedCross Children’s Hospital) want to traveland spend time together,” he says.

Mike studied atTrinity inDublin and thencame back to Groote Schuur Hospital topractice medicine decided on Pinelands af-ter looking across the Peninsula for a poten-tial place to set up a practice. He felt certainthe close-knit community in Pinelands wasthe perfect location.

The DNA of a general practitioner runs inhis veins and his idea was to emulate his fa-ther and “become the best GP possible”.

Mike handed over his practice to DrMarkStodel. “I couldn’t retire until I had foundthe perfect candidate for my patients and tocontinuemypractice. I still runa traditionalGP practice, that is fast disappearing frommodern society and Iwant it to continue thatway. When I received Mark Stodel’s CV, Iknew I had found the right person,” he says.

Mike says Stodel was the perfect fit not on-ly in terms of qualifications and experience,but also in terms of his passion for a familypractice in a close-knit community.

After graduating at Witwatersrand Uni-versity, Stodel completed his internship atGroote Schuur Hospital and worked in theemergency unit of Victoria Hospital.

He then worked at Red Cross Children’sHospital where he obtained his Diploma inChild Health.

During that time he also completed Ad-vancedCardiac, Trauma andPaediatric LifeSupport courses.

Stodel then spent a year working as a pae-diatrician-in-training in Oxford, Englandfollowed by a year in Auckland, New Zea-land. He has completed a course with theAmerican Association of Aesthetic Medi-cine specialising in botox, fillers and chemi-cal peels. Stodel also graduatedwithanMBAfrom UCT where his thesis discussed Therole of burnout in skills retention of juniordoctors and Red Cross Children’s Hospital.

A patient at Stodel’s previous practice de-

scribes him as a “brilliant family doctor”.Stodel, an “old school practitioner” with

the latest medical knowledge and trends, isdelighted to be a community asset.

“I was looking for a family-orientatedpractice that offers a comprehensive andpersonal service to the local community.”

Stodel will be working to provide an all-hour service to the Pinelands community onthe cornerstone of Mike’s philosophy ofavailability, affability and ability

Stodel says he is looking forward to look-ing after Mike’s patients and gaining newones. He and Mike agree that as a close-knitcommunity patients become friends andpart of a large family.

Although Mike is sad to say farewell, hehas nothing but gratitude to the communityand friends for contributing to the wonderyears. “I knowDr Stodel will fit comfortablyinto the shoes out of which I am reluctantlystepping,” he says.

Tourism business shiningSmall tourism businesses getting theirchance at success all thanks to the City.In October 2013, Cape Town Tourism’s

Board of Directors took a collective deci-sion to forfeit R100 000 of their monthlyremuneration towards a Board Develop-ment Fund (BDF) that assists Small, Me-dium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs)with support to develop their tourismbusinesses.The first two beneficiaries were care-

so being given in the form of a compli-mentary Cape Town Tourism member-ship, mentorship by board membersJonathanJacobsandEnverMally, train-ing, skills development and marketinginvolvement until Sunday 31 August.The two successful SMME’s were an-

nounced as Ozzie’s Golf Guide and Trav-el with René.Ozzie’s Golf Guide provides a person-

alised service to local and internationalguests to ensure that they experience amemorable round of golf in Cape Town,including securing tee time, transporta-tion and golf equipment.“My company is just over a year old.

wheelchair user for over eighteen yearsandhas successfully startedup this busi-ness to fill the access gap.“This win means that my dream of ac-

cessible transport for all, including per-sons with disabilities, is attainable. Ithas instilled confidence in me to contin-ue fighting so that every visitor to ourbeautiful country feels at home,” saysMoses.“I think this is a very good initiative

and as one of the mentors, I am seeingthe benefits first hand. What we are ef-fectively trying to do is to help entrepre-neurs move forward.”“It’s easy to gives businesses funds

and let them do with it what they will,but it’s much more sustainable to pro-vide assistance and mentorshipthroughout the process,” says EnverMally, mentor and board member.V For more information on the criteria and application process visit http:/www.capetown.travel/industry_blog/entry/boarddevelopmentfund1314callforproposals.The next request for proposals will go out in November and the two selected winning businesseswill be announced in December.

The fanfare for some political parties – and dejected facesfor others – are now a thing of the recent past with theelection figures in and accounted for.

Voters have made every X count and the onus is nowon political parties to make good on those pre-electionpromises.

It has been a frenzied affair to bombard the media withall the (supposedly good) works of councillors all over themetropole.

The rush job to promote councillors and punt everyounce of free publicity should be an Olympic sport, sobusy were the media houses churning out the chaff.

But it bears remembering that what happens after theelection is what counts.

There is enough work waiting for councillors – fromthe most humble of the smallest wards to the premier ofthis beautiful province.

And, unfortunately, there is nothingnew in this regard.On any given day the media is carpet-bombed with a

legion of complaints – fromwater pipes bursting to schoolbuildings indireneedof repairs, crimeandviolence, drugaddiction and peddling, and the clear shout for housing.Intermingled in this are the protest actions of those whohavehad enoughof begging andbeingplacatedby the self-same publicity reports that hit the repeat button whenresponding to the calls for improved housing, medical fa-cilities and education.

Taking public office is not a job for the faint-heartedand now is not the time to shirk responsibilities.

Fixing this province and all the additional problemswhich creep up unexpectedly is going to take a healthydose of planning, long hours at the office and outcomesthat keep most people happy most of the time.

It is, one imagines, a pretty thankless job because justas one problem is solved another crops up.

Wehope government – local andnational – canput theirpolitical differences and personality clashes aside for thegood of the people who voted for them.

Interesting run-up to electionsOur fifth democratic election certainlyproved to be an exciting one for a variety ofreasons.

For starters, the ruling party was abso-lutely brave to have a leader who was in themedia for all the wrong reasons in the pastfive years of his presidency.Much of his par-ty’s time was spent defending him for thenumber of gates he was implicated in in-stead of giving him the chop.

Our president’s picture on the ruling par-ty’s poster has reduced this once promisingparty tomere shadow ofwhat it was 20 yearsago. Our president became easy game for theopposition, but that did not stop the leader-ship from defending him against the inde-fensible.

Our president’s inability to dealwith serv-ice delivery protests, the mine workers’strike, the rampant corruption in his partyand his stubborn refusal to accept liabilityfor the gross overspending on Nkandla pre-sented an ideal opportunity for the opposi-tion parties to have a go at him all the time.

Not even the frequent booing of the presi-dent was enough to force the leadership tosit up and takenote that theyhave thewrongface to tell the good story.

The ruling party’s nemesis, (Julius) Male-ma, had a great time insulting the presidentand he (would) take a great deal of the youthvote from the ruling party. Malema, with isEFF, as an incumbent, canmake tall promis-es to the very vulnerable youth promisingthem the impossible and they will believehim.

Malema, in spite of his youth, is crafty andhas one thing in mind: to get into parlia-ment; not so much to help his followers, butto emulate and outdo his former corrupt col-leagues from the ruling party. His followerswill only realise this once he is elected.

After the elections, he will hold the trumpcard to help the ruling party attain itsmajor-ity in return for a top post in government,so his followers must be careful of him.

The other new entrant, Mamphele(Ramphele) of Agang, lost the battle the dayshe joined the DA for one day. Clearly, herboardroomantics did not prepare her for thedirty world of politics, so she will be luckyif she gets her deposit.

Apart from the DA, the other oppositionparties have little in them towrite about. Allof them attack the ruling party, promise toimprove governance and improveon servicedelivery, but we know this is just big talkto get votes.

The smaller parties based on religion orspecial interestswill have little or no impacton the future of this country and might diean early death after these elections, so cast-ing votes on them could be a waste. Of thesmaller parties, theUDMand its leader,Ban-tu Holomisa, is the only party that gives theruling party a run for their money. That iswhat we need: an opposition that can holdthe ruling party accountable for their fail-ures. We do not need mickey mouse partiesthat ensure jobs for their powerless repre-sentatives in parliament.

Let us hopewe endwith a stronger opposi-tion because a majority for the ruling partywill see to it that the Info Bill is passed toprotect the ruling party, the corrupt will be-come even more corrupt, service deliverywill go to the dogs and our president willspend millions of tax money on his propa-ganda machinery to cover up for the nextfive years of his scandalous rule, unless heis replaced by someonemore competent andbefitting of the position.DR E V RAPITI,Kenwyn

Canvassing for vote invasion of privacyI got this SMS tomy cellphone on voting day(translated from Afrikaans) at 17:42 from0872405158: “Just two hours before the vot-ing polls close. TheWestern Cape is head-to-head and the DA needs every vote. Go voteand keep the Western Cape DA!”

The same day I also got a phone call froma DA call centre operator reminding me to

vote for the DA. I asked where the DA gotmy cellphone number from (it is a privatenumber) and she said from the IEC voter’sroll.

How is this possible? Isn’t there a cut-offtime for campaigning?

I would like to know what the IEC has tosay about this as I did not give anyone in the

DAmy number or permission to canvass formy vote.

This is an invasion of my privacy.NAME WITHHELD,EmailThis letter has been sent to the IEC for com-ment and none has been received at the timeof going to print. – News Ed.

Crime destroysI strongly suggest reporters who write arti-cles about criminals should rethink theirempathetic tone. I am not suggesting an in-humanapproach.However, veryoftenwhenwe read of active criminals who are injuredor killed by other criminals, the media in-sists on interviewing his relatives who thenexplain what a kind and wonderful personthe criminal was. The media report oftengives one the impression some journalistsdo not fully realise the negative role crimi-nals have in the overall destruction of theSouth African society.

For example, we all know there are mil-lions of South Africans directly affected bytheplagueof drugs.Drugaddicts destroy thesocial, economic andmental fabric of our so-ciety. Sympathy held for those afflicted byaddiction should be earmarked for the fami-lies and victims of crime such as rape andmurder. Sympathising with an injured ormurdered drug dealer, drug mule or a drugaddict is counterproductive as it makes theefforts of those working against drug addic-tion look senseless.

Journalists should recognise the impor-tant role they play in providing leadershipto our broader society. Drug addicts do it forthe high while drug dealers and mules do itfor the easymoney. They are not heroes, butpeople who want to destroy our communi-ties. Perhaps reporters who write aboutdrug-related issues should spend more timewith elderlyparentswhoare robbedby theirdrug-addicted children instead of trying togenerate empathy for drug addicts, dealersand mules. Let our society not lose sight ofwho our adversaries are and the real threatthey represent to our collective well-being.YAGYAH ADAMSThe role of the media is to present all sidesof a story and remain impartial. – News Ed.

PEOPLE'S POST | CONSTANTIA | WYNBERGThursday, 22 May 2014 ENTERTAINMENT 13‘LOVE CAN’: LOCAL SONGWRITER MAKES WAVES

Searching for a sound that’s newLOUISA STEYL

@lounotes

When his song Love can ex-ploded on local airwaves,few people realised the

man behind the anthemic song isSouth African.Shaun Jacobs says he was ama-

zed by the success of the song, butsays he and his band had workedhard on it in studio.And it paid off dividends. Shaun

has won a South African MusicAward for best adult contempora-ry album for Love can.When it came to releasing the

track, they were a little worriedabout how it would be received bylocal stations. “It’s a little diffe-rent,” he says.“That’s a chance that you take

when you try to stretch the boun-daries a little bit,” Shaun says.While they were hoping the song

would take off, Shaun says you cannever be sure about any song andthe band was thrilled when it beca-me an almost instant hit.Love can, the title track off his ne-

west album, arguably catapultedthe Johannesburg-based multi in-strumentalist’s career into the li-melight. But it wasn’t his first rele-ase.

One-man armyIn 2012 he released the albumPa-

per Wings and one of its singles,With you, became one of only 16 SAsongs to make it onto the Kia top

100 chart that year.In studio, Shaun is a one-man ar-

my. He writes all the songs, playsall the instruments and handles re-cording, mixing and producinghimself.On stage, though, he is joined by

drummer Andrew Sowter and bas-sist Craig Sparks, who also help

with backing vocals.The three got to showcase their

energy to local audiences in De-cember when they opened for Nic-kelback on their SA tour.Shaun’s agent sent their music

to Big Concerts, who sent it on toNickelback’s management, whosent it on to the band themselves.

“They cameback to say they lovethe stuff, they’d love us to be aguest artist for them,” Shaun ex-plains, adding it was really an ho-nour.“The concerts themselves were

just better than we could have dre-amed.”Shaun and his band opened for

Nickelback’s two shows in Johan-nesburg and the two shows in CapeTown.“The way the audiences respon-

ded to us was incredible. It almostfelt like it was our show.”

A little differentA lot of people ask Shaun to des-

cribe his music, but, he says, heprefers tohearhowothers describehis sound.When it comes to writing and

producing, he says he is deliberate-ly trying to be different. “We’re try-ing to be mainstream, but we’retrying to find a unique way of do-ing it.”The band doesn’t like the idea of

standard rock or pop productionand, he says, theyworkhard in stu-dio at trying to find their uniquesound.The band is currently working

on new songs and jamming a lot.“We love working things out in theband room and finding out thingswe could do live on stage that areinteresting.”Shaun says they always want

their live performances to be “re-freshing, unique and captivating”.He has also just got back into thestudio to start recording a new al-bum. “We’re feeling inspired crea-tivelyb at themoment.” He ismumon a tentative release date for thenewalbum though, saying fans cankeep an eye on his Facebook pageto stay updated on his shows andother news.

HOMEGROWN: Shaun Jacobs and his band spoke to People’s Post when they were in Cape Town.

Violets wilt againstManenberg RangersLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

Violets RFC will look to return to winningways on Saturday after suffering their sec-ond loss of the season last weekend.The Chucker Road club are second on the

Super League C table and already look likecontenders for the title.However, if Violets are to take the league

and earn promotion to SuperLeagueB, theywill need to be more consistent.Violets kicked off the season with a 14-20

loss away to Observatory’s Silvertree, beatStrand 21-15 at home, thrashed Van der Stel52-21 away, beat Northerns 19-3 at home,thumped Eerste River 51-15 at home andslumped to a 6-8 loss away to ManenbergRangers last Saturday.Victory against Rangers would have seen

Violets on top of the standings, but Langacurrently lead the standings, one pointahead on 21. They will travel to face fifth-placed Strand United in Strand this week-end and, with Langa on a bye, a victory willsee Violets top the table temporarily. Mean-while, Manenberg Rangers will travel toSomerset West to face Raithby Universalsbuoyed by their victory against one of thefront runners.The narrow win against Violets was

Rangers’ first in five attempts this season,having suffered defeats to Franschoek Unit-ed, Silvertree, Langa and Strand in previ-

ous games.In Raithby, the Manenberg side face one

of just two sides in the tournament with aperfect record.Universals racked up large scores in vic-

tories against Van der Stel, Strand United,Elsies River and Stellenbosch Coronations,and currently hold third place on the tablewith 19 points in the bag.Rangers will have put in anothermassive

performance to turn over this Super LeagueC heavyweight.Seventh-placed Silvertree have a much

easier fixture in store and should be expect-ed to win.After the win against Violets, Silvertree

went on to beat Manenberg Rangers, lose toStellenbosch Coronations, lose to StrandUnited, beat Bonteheuwel’s Silverleaf andlose to Elsies River United last Saturday.Thisweekend theyhostEersteRiverRFC,

whoare 13th on the table after a solitarywinin five matches.Silvertree should heap more misery on

the visitors and win the game comfortably.The match will take place at Malta Park

in Observatory at 15:30.In other club rugby fixtures on Saturday,

UCT will host Durbanville-Belville at theGreen Mile in Super League A, while in Su-per League B Collegians will host Handsand Heart in Lentegeur and Villager wel-comeSurreyEstateRangers toBrookside inClaremont.

Log leaders slip upLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

TheMrPriceHighSchools’ League top threeare rueing their missed opportunities afterdropping points in last weekend’s fixtures.Beacon Hill High School went into Satur-

day’smatches leading the log onnine points,ahead of second-placed Portland High ongoal difference and with defending champi-ons Mondale in third on six points.All three sides played to draws on Satur-

day, with the top two missing the chance toopen a gap at the top of the standings andMondale butchering an opportunity to closethe gap on the leaders.Beacon Hill drew 1-1 with Oval North

High, while Portland’s match against Bel-gravia was deadlocked at 2-2 and Mondaledrew 1-1 against Aloe High.The results mean all three sides maintain

their log positions, with Beacon Hill andPortland on 10 points andMondale on seven.Saturday’s results had a larger impact on

the middle of the table, with several sidesshifting upwards and Cloetesville, Tafelsigand Cedar now level on points with Mon-

dale. Cloetesville beat Strandfontein 4-1 toclimb from fifth to fourth and Tafelsig leaptfrom 10th to fifth with a 3-1 win over Glen-dale, who dropped to seventh.Cedar now occupy sixth place thanks to a

1-0 win over Spine Road.The other results had little effect on the ta-

ble, with Lentegeur dropping from sixth toninth andRocklandsmaintaining 13th placeafter a the sides drew 1-all.Westridge and Princeton stayed in 14th

and 15th places respectively after drawing2-2.The league will continue on Saturday, but

the status quo at the top of the tablewill like-ly be unchanged with the top teams all ex-pected to pick up wins against lesser opposi-tion. However, the scrap for third place willheat up as Mondale plays fifth-placed Tafel-sig and fourth-placedCloetesville play sixth-placed Cedar.V Fixtures for Saturday 24 May: (09:00) Tafelsig vsMondale; Portland vs Westridge; Princeton High vsStrandfontein High; Belgravia High vs Lentegeur High;(10:15) Cloetesville High vs Cedar High; Spine Road vsGlendale High; Oval North vs Aloe High; and BeaconHill vs Rocklands High.

Resurgent Villagers top Super League BLIAM MOSES

@LiamCPT

When Villager RFC decided to buck thetrend in Cape Town club rugby and stop pay-ing players, few thought South Africa’s sec-ond oldest club would ever return to itsformer glory.

The “Dirty Whites” had been relegatedfrom Super League A in 2012, after a disas-trous season. And by refusing to offer anycash, the club would have even less hope ofattracting or retaining the best playersavailable.

The downturn in form that followed wasinevitable. The Claremont club was out of itsdepth – even in Super League B – and all thatsaved Villager from another drop was theWestern Province Rugby Union’s restruc-turing of it’s club competitions.

Less than two years later, after appointingnew coaching staff, Villager are on courseto proving success is possible with an ama-teur team.

The club has succeeded in its goal of at-tracting players who play only for the loveof the game, including Ashley Clarke, aformer professional who says he grew up at

Brookside.“Last year I decided to see if I couldn’t help

out Villager and be part of getting the teamback into Super League A,” he says.

“I grew up kicking around a cold-drinkcan on the side of the field, while my dadplayed for the Old Crocs team.”

Clarke’s father, Bossie Clarke, is current-ly the club president, a former first teamplayer and legend of WP rugby.

While he has not achieved legendary sta-tus, the younger Clarke had his own glitter-ing career in the sport.

Clarke captained the Province under-19side to victory in 2001, has represented WP,South Western Districts and the Leopards atCurrie Cup level and spent four seasons atFrench Top 14 side Racing Metro.

But despite having reached the highestlevels of professionalism, Clarke believesclub rugby should remain amateur.

“It’s a good thing because the guys that wehave are all here for the right reasons,” hesays. “When a player gets told that he isn’tin the starting line-up, it’s always for a validreason. If there is someone younger and bet-ter – he will play. It’s an honest system. Noone plays just because they are getting

paid.”Clarke says the entire senior squad are

happier and closer as a result, and this hasresulted in a excellent start to the season.

Villager currently top Super League B,with four victories from four.

Current head coach Gunner Hughes haslead the team to victories over Macassar,Scottsdene, Young Peoples and Collegianslast Saturday.

Hughes says Clarke, the team captain,has played an important role.

“He brings massive physicality and lotsof experience. Those are his key at-tributes,” he says. “He is quite an influen-tial player. He leads from the front and theplayers feed off that. He has done very welland the guys have enjoyed having him aspart of the team.”

Hughes says another important factorin the club’s resurgence is recruitingplayers who, like Clarke, play purely be-cause of passion and desire to see the clubsucceed.

He adds the club’s staff of coaches, bio-keneticists, psychologists and doctorshave all played an integral role.

Hughes’ side will now hope to rack up

victories in their 10 remaining games, startingwith Surrey Estate Rangers on Saturday.

Villager aim to return to the top flight with-in two seasons, but are currently on track toachieving the goal a year early.

Clarke is certain the goals are achievableand that amateurs can compete against CapeTown’s best.

“We have nothing to lose; there is no moneyto lose. The guys just want to prove that theycan play,” he says.

“The whole club has bound together. Every-one is in it for the same reason: to bring Villag-er back to its former glory.”

Bertish beats out the bestA Kommetjie surfer and adventurer has beenrecognised for his impressive feats on theopen ocean.

Big wave surf champion and stand-up pad-dleboarder Chris Bertish received the 2014Nightjar People’s Choice Adventurer of theYear Award earlier this month.

He hopes to continue inspiring others withhis amazing feats.

“I am super proud and honoured to havebeen awarded the 2014 Nightjar People’sChoice Adventurer of the Year award,” hesays.

“I was runner-up in the category last year,so I’m so content and humbled to have wonthe award this time. Hopefully, through mytalks and adventures, I can continue to in-spire others to believe in their own potentialand to realise their own goals and live theirdreams, as nothing’s impossible unless youbelieve it to be.”

The award is sponsored by Cape UnionMart.

Bertish was nominated for the award after

setting three world records in less than fivemonths.

These included his recent GuinnessWorld Record for a non-stop 130.1km, 12-hour-long stand-up paddle in March.

The Kommetjie resident’s most famousconquest is arguably winning the Maver-icks Invitational in 2010. The event is heldeach year and sees the world’s best bigwave surfers charge some of the biggestwaves in the world in Half Moon Bay, Cali-fornia.

All his adventures and record attemptsare done in aid of the Lunchbox Fund,which aims to raise awareness, feed hun-gry children in South Africa and to makepeople believe in themselves.

Bertish is also a professional speakerwho travels locally and abroad, inspiringlarge audiences in the corporate field, atschools and events.
