Recycling household waste is the way to go, says Alison Davison, Head of the City of Cape Town’s Waste Minimisation. To this end, Ward councillors Penny East (Ward 71) and Liz Brunette (Ward 62) encour- aged locals to Think 2wice before throwing away waste. They were speaking at a meeting in Alphen Hall, Constantia. Adopting the Think 2twice campaign, in all the City departments, has saved tons of waste being discarded. Cardboard and paper waste is sorted into separate wheelie bins. In some residential areas, the City has pro- vided the split bag initiative – to extend the life of landfills. These households can recycle dry waste in clear bags, packed separately from dirty, wet waste in the refuse bin. Con- tractors collect the bags from the City for processing and recycling. This removes glass, plastic, paper, cardboard and cans from the waste stream. “However, the system is too expensive to roll out across the city,” says Davison, and southerners must do it for themselves.” Brunette says she runs a waste-free house- hold. “Recycling is a very important issue – my family has been doing it for years, we only put out one small bag for the refuse bin. Eve- ryone can do something, which is why we asked for this presentation from the City – to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill sites, which is no good for the planet or for us.” Davison says households should start sort- ing their own waste into different bags – clean packaging, plastic, glass and green waste – and drop it off at recycling centres. “We must be more creative about re-using materials. Some crafters are creating an in- come by converting reusable plastics into jewellery and household goods. Transporting waste to landfills is very labour intensive and expensive, and some recycling can also be very detailed.” By way of example she says: “Take a plastic bottle. The cap and label have to be separated by hand as they are made of different materi- als.” In line with a new City bylaw, businesses and residents are compelled to minimise waste and prevent damage to the environ- ment with good waste management. Hence the return of the Zibi twin bin system, which can be used to separate recyclables from or- ganic waste. The bins are placed in busy City areas to prevent littering and help the City to separate waste at source. The fines for dumping and littering are steep – from R500 to R2 500 and dumpers can be reported to 0860 103 089. Davison warned that the Ladies Mile Recy- cling Depot is due to close down once it has been decommissioned, as it is the subject of a land claim. This could take three years and the City is busy securing alternative sites. Klip Road Cemetery in Prince George Drive and Steenberg Drive, at the base of Ou Kaapse Weg, have been proposed. “But landfill is the last option. We need to avoid waste in the first place. Too much pack- aging and plastic is being thrown away. Waste can be recycled creatively and this is giving rise to new industries.” View these at www.capetown.gov.za/iwex. “Stats show 11½ tons of packaging and pa- per have been recycled in the last few years, but plastics are more diverse and difficult to sort. Cape Town has 800 000 households, the waste stream is composed of 15% packaging, 22% builders rubble, 10% organic materials and 60% household waste. “The landfills are full – some have already closed. We are running out of space and there is nowhere to go.” Recycling depots for household waste are at Oasis Recycling Unit, Claremont; Constan- tia Village Shopping Centre; and Wynberg waste drop-off in Rosmead Avenue. RAINBOW OF COLOURS: Kites adorn the skies at the 18th Cape Town International Kite Festival which was held at Zandvlei in Muizen- berg at the weekend. The annual event, of which People’s Post is the print media sponsor, is the largest of its kind in Africa and attracts kite fliers from around the world. It was again hosted by Cape Metal Health and saw the skies of Muizenberg filled with incredible kite creations and vibrant, edgy colours. The festival proved to be a fun-filled family weekend, with festival-goers entertained with carnival rides, food stalls, kite making workshops and local entertainment. Photo: Jaco Marais/Photo24

Making job loss work for youDear reader,
Despite optimism about anupswing in the economy, re-trenchments are becomingmore of a reality on the SouthAfrican landscape.Few of us are safe from the
riskof losingour jobs as compa-nies downsize and restructureto improve their chances of sus-tainability in a challenging eco-nomic climate.According to a Statistics
South Africa survey, this yearalone, the South African economy lost 75 000jobs due to retrenchments or companies opt-ing to not fill vacant posts.Most recently, about 1 000 1Time Airline
staff have learnt that theyhave lost their jobs.The ripple effect of this equates to about 4
000 lives being affected through this.Adopting a complacent approach and as-
suring yourself that you will find another jobsoonmay be nothing but a fantasy in the faceof our workplace reality.If we are to survive joblessness, an innova-
tive approach is required – one of entrepre-neurship and collaboration. Explore your op-
tions and empower yourselfwith knowledge on how tomar-ket your skills and generate anincome. Pool resources, up-grade your skills and tap intoservices on offer to small busi-nesses.The cold fact is that the
shrinking job market is unableto absorb our growing popula-tion, for one. While technologyhas brought with it myriad ofadvances and opportunities, ithas alsomade thousands of jobsredundant, while simultane-
ously creating even more. It is in this fieldthat parents should be encouraging theirchildren to study.The human side of retrenchments is a trag-
ic one as companies have to lose skills andinvestment into employees. It places strainon both employers and workers.Job losses impact on those who lose their
positions and their colleagues left behind toabsorb additional workload and worry abouttheir own job security.Closer to home, affected families have to re-
think their financial/survival strategy; somehave to sell their homes and cars, and change
plans to place their children in expensiveschools. Others have to contemplate relocat-ing to have any chance of finding formal em-ployment.For older people, the chances of being re-
employed is slim in a highly-competitive,more energetic, younger workforce.There is also the psychological impact of
facing an uncertain financial future. Formany, their careers are their purpose. Most,if not all, people work because they must.However, if one looks at the plus side of re-
trenchment (and there is such a thing ifyou’re creative!), there’s thewonderful prom-ise of an indefinite vacation, waving goodbyeto work pressures, saving on petrol, sleepingin, reading to your heart’s content...This will require a different strategy, the
core of which centres around drafting a rigidnew budget and committing to it. For this towork though, you’d need enough money tosustain you, so start saving those pennies.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by Peo-
ple’s Post editor Feroza Miller-Isaacs whocan be contacted on [email protected]’s Post in online. Visit www.peo-

Pupils hurt intaxi collisionLAILA MAJIET
TRAFFIC on Main Road, Tokai, wasbrought to a standstill after an accidentinvolving a minibus taxi and a bakkie.
Witnesses say the accident happenedshortly after 7:00 on Tuesday when a taxitransporting school children came to a sud-den stop on the shoulder of the road.Three pupils were injured and were treat-
ed at the scene by paramedics before beingtransported to a nearby hospital.Peter Louw, a security officer who was
parked close to where the accident hap-pened, was first on the scene.
He says: “I called the ambulance and ranover the road to see what had happened.There were school children in the taxi aswell as two elderly women and the driver.”Louw says the taxi driver’s neck was in-
jured and a girlwas “stuck between the frontseat and the seat she was sitting on”.Patrece Kepamba, a car guard operating
on the corner of Main and Tokai roads, sayshe was alerted to the accident after he hearda loud bang.“I was sitting around the corner and heard
a loud bang. I rushed over to see what hadhappened. A blue Hardbody Toyota knockedinto a taxi transporting primary school chil-dren,” he explains.
HELP: Police, traffic services and paramedics rushed to the scene of the accident.Photos: Laila Majiet
CHAOS: Traffic on Main Road in Tokai was backed up all the way to Bergvliet after the accident.

NO ROLE MODELS: Nicole Andrews says: “Incommunities crime is high youths don’t reallyhave rolemodels and drugs are often the easiest way to deal with their problems.”
NOTHING TO HIDE: Bradley Bourne sayswhile searching pupils could be a violation ofprivacy it can only do good. “If they have nothing to hide, they will be fine with it.”
GOOD IDEA: Sarah Allderman says: “I thinka lot of children see violence from gangsthese days and this is their way of looking fora community to fit into.”
SEARCH THEM: Shafwaan Mouton believesbody searches will be good. “That will begood because learners bring knives, gunsand drugs to school.”
EDUCATION FIRST: William Bent says: “Ithink (body searches) should be done because children go to school to learn and notcarry weapons.”
NO DIFFERENCE: Vuyo Ngcangasays learners will be violent any way. “It won’t help because the violencemight happen just outsidethe school premises.”
ELIMINATE RISK: Lelethu Mgciza agreeswith body searches being carried out as “therate of violence in schools is growing everyday and pupils carry dangerous weapons”.
A TOTAL of 42 pupils have reportedlybeen stabbed at schools since the begin-ning of the year. These incidents, someof which are believed to be gang-related,raise the issue of how safe pupils are atschools.People’s Post interns Luzuko Zi-ni and Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn posedthis question to readers. They wanted toknow if body searches should be con-ductedat schools or if itwouldbeaviola-tion of their rights. Zini andHabelgaarnalso took the photos.

Putting the brakes on dirty little petrol enginesITMAYcomeas somethingofa surprise to learn even theworst Eskompower station istwice as efficient as your car.Even if you drive a Porche!It works like this. Both the
power station and your carburns fuel and uses the re-sulting heat to create me-chanical energy.The efficien-cy is measured by comparingthe heat actually convertedinto mechanical energy withthe waste heat which, in thecase of Eskom, is returned to the atmos-phere via its smoke stacks andgiant coolingtowers.When I briefly studiedheat engines a long
time ago, the thermal efficiency of a petrolengine was given as 14%, diesels were 18%and steam engines 25%. Petrol engines
were preferred because theywere easy to start and more ver-satile.There have been many im-
provements over the years. Met-al alloys are lighter, lubricationis better, ignition systems, valvegear and engine managementhave been transformed and theresult is engines that now run ata thermal efficiency of about20%. That’s in cruise mode. Intraffic, the overall efficiencydrops to about 15%.
This means 15% of the heat generated byburning the petrol becomes useful energy,while 85% becomes waste heat to bedumped into the atmosphere. The reallydirty stuff goes out through the exhaust andis extremely poisonous.If the petrol enginewas invented today its
inefficiency and lethal emissions would en-sure its immediate banning.The clean heat from the engine is dis-
charged via the cooling system with its wa-ter pumps, thermostats, radiators and fansto complete the engine’s contribution to glo-bal warming.The real miracle of the motor car is that
their complicated motors with dozens ofmoving, wearing parts have become so reli-able – more reliable than Eskom!One can understand why the oil compa-
nies were prepared to tolerate machineswith a 15% efficiency rating, but what’syour excuse?How did we all get suckered into accept-
ing what Churchill called the “infernalcombustion engine” when better, cleanermotors have been around for a century?Yes, the future is electric forwe nowhave
the batteries to power cars that can outper-
form the old models with their “suck,squeeze, bang, blow” motors.Unfortunately, the petrol heads and the
motor industry hate the clean, silent elec-tric cars that never need oil changes, newspark plugs or tune-ups.In the US they have been coerced into
making semi-electric vehicles, but theirheart is not in it and the sales, with a fewexceptions, are disappointing.On the other hand, Tesla Motors is build-
ing the first pure electric car and, despitethe high price, they can’t make them fastenough for the thousands on the waitinglist.If you don’t believe me have a look at
www.teslamotors.com and you will see thefuture.Their newModel S has the looks and powerof an Aston Martin, the silent ride of RollsRoyce and the running costs of a scooter.

Centre tackles literacy dilemmaJUANITA WILLIAMS
MORE than 60% of Grade 3 pupils inthis province cannot read or write atthe level of efficiency required atschool.The Department of Education at-
tributes this to large classes, poorlytrained teachers, language of in-struction, lack of encouragement byparents, as well as shortage of re-sources.Karin de Lange, a former teacher,
has recently opened a literacy train-ing centre on the grounds of Schoen-statt Sisters of Mary in Constantia.De Lange says she realised chil-
dren with impaired literacy skillswill struggle throughout their livesif they don’t get the basics right.Early in her career as a teacher in
Pretoria, De Lange strove to resolveearly learning problems. She real-ised the best solution was an holisticapproach which focuses on the spir-itual, emotional, physical, intellec-tual and social dimensions of the pu-pil.“I am a teacher at heart; training
and education are my passion. Overthe years I have managed to balanceacademic achievements with practi-
cal experience including marketing,project and general management.“However, being a school teacher
has always been the most rewardingin terms of job satisfaction,” DeLange says.This year, she decided to move to
Cape Town and follow her true call-ing and passion.“I drove through the southern sub-
urbs and immediately felt at home,”she says.She chose a perfect spot to help
children relax and concentrate onlearning in the beautiful grounds ofSchoenstatt.De Lange, who follows the Dr Tina
Cowley reading course profile, haspupils referred to her from localschools. They usually begin to showan improvement in their readingand comprehension within twomonths.“Diet also plays a large part in
learning,” she says. “Too much sug-ar hypes children up and their con-centration becomes fragmented. Tomaximise receptivity to learningskills, a child needs to be eatinghealthy food, follow a balanced diet,have regular exercise and enoughtime to relax.”
She is very concerned about thenumber of children suffering fromAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-order (ADHD).“In many cases, children are just
too stimulated by life and are over-exposed to TV, movies, cellphonesand junk food.“I am not in favour of chemical in-
tervention, but in extreme cases it isnecessary and can be successful,”she says.New pupils have an assessment
based on a valuation of their basicreading skills and comprehension.They can work at their own speed atindividual computers and take partin practical group exercises. “Eachchild has a different needwhich theycan work on until they have mas-tered it,” says De Lange.Children who are struggling with
first or second languages can studyin English or Afrikaans.The computer room is child-
friendly with bright walls, a pianoand soothing Baroque music whichcreates the perfect atmosphere foroptimal learning.“If a child says ‘I can’t do it’,” says
De Lange, “I tell them ‘not yet, butyou soon will’.”

PLANS for the upgrade of the RetreatTransport Interchange will be present-ed to the Protea Subcouncil in January.
This comes after Ward councillor PennyEast put forward a motion for a full and de-tailed report about the proposed upgrade tobe presented to the subcouncil.According the motion “numerous re-
quests to be informed and consulted in theformulation of these plans” had been ig-nored. The interchange is currently usedbytaxis, buses and trains,while it is also hometo the Retreat Railway Police.It is believed the upgrade will form part
of the City of Cape Town’s Transport, Roadsand Stormwater Department budget. Thestation also formed part of an upgrade byMetrorail for the 2010 soccer World Cup.But East, Ward 71 councillor, says the
presentation will be made in January.“We had a very fruitful meeting with the
project manager for the Retreat Inter-
change and the concept design is not yetcomplete,” she comments.“A full report on the progress and theway
forward will be ready for presentation tothe Protea Subcouncil in January 2013.Councillor JanBurger and Iwere comforta-ble with the concept as it exists.“No decisions will be made without con-
sultation with all the concerned stakehold-ers – including the (affected) taxi associa-tions, Metrorail and the informal traders.Burger and I feel very strongly that no deci-sionwill bemadewithout full public partic-ipation.”She adds the intention is to improve the
service extended to commuters who use theinterchange and provide a top class travelexperience with no expense spared.“At the moment the facilities are inade-
quate, there is no shelter from the sun,windand rain for commuters. We want to makethe interchange more user-friendly andprovide a good quality service which willencourage people to use public transport,”East says.“We also want to provide safe lock-up fa-
cilities for bicycles. I am very excited aboutthis upgrade which will also unite the eastand west sides of the interchange.”Burger,Ward 72 councillor, says an Inter-
change Management Advisory Committee(IMAC)was formed inAugust. The commit-tee comprises representatives from taxi as-sociations, informal traders and the twoWard councillors.
“I would welcome the proposed upgrade,as I often received complaints regarding thetaxis in Chad Road,” he says.“There is no taxi rank, so the taxis stop
in themiddle of the road to drop off and pickup commuters. The fact that the IMAC hasbeen formed is also something good, as weare now getting input from all the con-cerned parties.”

Numbers gameTHE results of Census 2011 are out. And it hasconfirmed there is a “unceasingmarch” fromrural South Africa to the Western Cape andGauteng.South Africa, says Statistician-General
Pali Lehohla, has surpassed the 50 millionmark. There are now 51,8 million people inthe country – seven million up from the 2001poll, representing a 15,5%population growth.The Western Cape is the fastest growing
province in South Africa, at 29% followed byGauteng, Mpumalanga and North Westwhich grew collectively at 26% between thetwo censuses. The rest of the provinces grewat 6%, says Lehohla.The findings indicate that one million peo-
ple have relocated to Gauteng in the past 10years, with only 56% of people living in Gau-teng today having been born there.About 2.2 million people were born outside
South Africa, according to the 2011 Census,compared to 1.2 million in the previous Cen-sus. Other findings in this, the third nationalpopulation and housing count in post-apart-heid SouthAfrica, couldhardly comeas a sur-prise. The survey found that the there are 27million women in South Africa – there aretwo million more women in the country thanmen. There has been a nominal increase of113% in average household income, with thehighest average household income in Gau-teng standing at R156 243, compared to thelowest in Limpopo at R56 844.The average household income for black
Africans was R60 613, while whites was high-est at R365 134. The Census statistics indicateeducation, employment, housing, refuse re-moval and toilet access, access to pipedwater,the type of energy households use, and accessto internet.Stats SA employed 156 000 field workers to
countmore than 14,6millionhouseholds. Per-haps what Lehohla would have liked to knowis how to halt the brain drain, how to improvethe morale of South Africans and how to en-sure a secure future for thematrics currentlysitting for the exams.If only he could see into the future.
Princess Vlei: where’s the mayor?THEPrincessVlei sagahas draggedon for yearsnow and all attempts to get themayor to expressherself on the matter have fallen on deaf ears.The mayor of Cape Town represents the peo-
ple of Cape Town – irrespective of political, reli-gious or ideological affiliation.We see the mayor as the custodian of the pub-
lic assets belonging to the people. The mayormust reflect and articulate thewill of the people.The mayor must lead the people of Cape Townandoftenmust take that lead fromthe expresseddesire of the people, as in this case to protectPrincess Vlei from inappropriate commercialdevelopment.We look to the mayor to stand side by side
with the people of the Cape Flats and southernsuburbs against an attempt to deny the first na-tion descendants a space to honourmemory andcultural heritage.The glib answer to our request for the mayor
to state where she stands is to hide behind thefact that the MEC is attending to the matter.We are not asking themayor to interfere with
the MEC’s right to consider the application forextension to the zoning rights.What we wish to know is whether the mayor
supports the rejection of the development pro-posal.Are there any secret discussions with the de-
veloper? Has the developer been given any hopethat the mayor will reject the people’s plan?Given the fact the land belongs to the City and
to the best of our knowledge has not been sold,can the mayor confirm the land will be kept intrust on behalf of the community andnot be soldoff to the developer?Is there a will on the part of the political lead-
ership in the City to collaborate with the com-munity to enhance the space? The People’s Planincludes a proposal to have a pathway aroundthe Vlei for jogging, cycling, walking and lei-surely strolls to enjoy the beauty of nature andthe priceless views of our mountain ranges. Wewant to work with the City leadership in devel-oping this space for the benefit of the people.The Princess Vlei precinct – with all its natu-
ral beauty, albeit neglected by theCity – belongsto all the people of Cape Town. We cannot sitby idly while unbridled greed creeps aroundCape Town just gobbling up the heritage of ourpeople. The mayor needs to speak. The peoplewant to know that she is with them. Togetherwe can make Cape Town, including PrincessVlei, one of the greatest (cities) in the country.It would be a sad betrayal of the trust of the
people if we should discover later that discus-sions have been ongoing with this developerand that tacit approval has been given for a de-velopment which the people don’t want.Speak to us,mayor. Your people are listening.PHILIP BAMGrassy Park
Separatedby classI AM aMetrorail commuter.Why on earth do we stillhave first and third classcarriages? In the morningthe third class carriages arepacked to capacity while thefront carriages are almostempty.This is economic segrega-
tion and Metrorail is a dino-saur in post-apartheid SouthAfrica.Intelligent marketing
would suggest that Metro-rail creates one class andonefare for all.Restore the dignity of your
commuters!MUHAMMED KHANCrawfordMetrorail Regional Man-ager Mthuthuzeli Swartzresponds: As public trans-port operator Metrorail hasto be demand-responsive byoffering differentiated servic-es such as both theMetroPlusand Business Expresses car-riages.
Metrorail matches capaci-ty to demand as best it canand encourages the public tomove from private to publictransport.Trains have the dominantmodel share (57%) of publictransport in Cape Town.
And 10% of Metrorail’s pa-tronage prefers to travel onMetroPlus and contributessignificantly to the region’sfare revenue.
Solly Malatsi, spokesperson for Cape TownmayorPatricia de Lille, responds: It is impor-tant to note that by their mere nature, planningdecisions are complex issues that require a thor-ough consideration of all available evidence.
In this particular case, and as required by thelegislative framework that guides the decision-making process on the planning decisions, thePrincessVleimatter has been referred to theWest-ernCapeMinister of LocalGovernment, Environ-mental Affairs and Development Planning for fi-nalisation.

A comfort zonefor child victimsYOUNG victims are being treatedmorecompassionately at the Wynberg Sexu-al Offences Court – thanks to pressurefrom women’s organisations and busi-nesses.
Deidre Rossouw, senior prosecutor atthe Wynberg Sexual Offences Courts(SOC), says: “The closed-circuit TV allowschild victims andwitnesses to testifywith-out the intimidation of a court room or inthe presence of the accused. The successof the Wynberg SOC is widely acknowl-edged and has resulted in similar courtsbeing established in all provinces.”Wynberg now has three sexual offences
courts, says Rossouw.Opened in 1993, the SOC is situated at the
Wynberg Regional Court, in Wynberg.Responding to women’s organisations
on the treatment of rape victimswithin thecriminal justice system, the court was es-tablished to deal with sexual offencesagainst women and children.One of its primary aims is to reduce the
secondary trauma suffered by victims andto encourage the reporting of sex crimesto increase the conviction rate.The waiting room for witnesses is now
child-friendly and relaxing. While oneprosecutor is involved in the courtroom,another prosecutor consults the witness.A socialworker provides counselling for
children who have to testify and an inde-pendent intermediary assists the childduring testimony.
Rossouw says: “The waiting room forchildren allows them to play until they areneeded in court. The children thatweworkwithhavebeen either physically or sexual-ly abused; some are as young as four yearsold. It is therefore important for us to cre-ate an environment which is nurturing,child-friendly and, more importantly,safe.”As part of their Madiba Day campaign,
the staff of a well-known gym dropped offfood and toys at the courts.They also arranged for the refurbish-
ment of the waiting rooms.Peter Jäck, managing director of one of
the sponsoring firms, says: “It is our dutyas a corporate citizen to get involved withthe communities. TheWynberg Sexual Of-fences Courts perform a crucial functionin our criminal justice system. We valuethework our prosecutors are doing andwewill always provide support where wecan.”The company repaired structural dam-
age to the ceilings, replaced flooring andpainted the waiting room and bathroom.New carpets were fitted and the room nowhas a DVD player and a computer forgames.Rossouw says: “As a prosecutor I have
beenworkingwith vulnerable children forthe past 20 years, and it is indeed comfort-ing to know we have the respect and sup-port of companies and organisations will-ing to assist us in our fight for the rightsof poor defenceless children.”
His job is a stitch awayJUANITA WILLIAMS
TRAININGas amilitary tailor gaveCassiemAbrahams a secure job for life.“I spent 30 years making uniforms in
Church Street, Wynberg with my cousinGanief Abrahams,” says Cassiem. “Everyday I made khaki uniforms – used the samebuttons, same thread – and needed a changebefore I went khaki.”Abrahams decided to design softer gar-
ments – and made stylish Islamic menswearfor many years. As a member of the IslamicCoordinating Council’s (ICC) Beit-un-Nur,Society for the Destitute, he wanted to sharehis knowledge and experience to help peoplemake a living. “None of my children wantedto learn to sew, so I decided to help disadvan-taged people put bread on their tables,” hesays.For nine years, he trained students to sew
at his Saturday workshops at ICC. The fab-rics and trimmings were donated or boughtas off-cuts or remnants and supplied free tothe students.Over the years, Cassiem has taught hun-
dreds of students how to cut, design andmake a living from the sewing trade.Hiswife Saffia, herself a gifted seamstress,
makes dresses and soft furnishings for thehome. The couple moved to Steenberg in1962, but 10 years ago relocated to MusgravePark, Diep River.Although he is retired, Cassiem loves to be
busy and productive. He recently designeda two-piece batwing wrap and skirt whichcan be made in a few hours. “The fabric iscrease-proof and this outfit is ideal for travel-ling. It costs about R18 to make, and couldbe sold for at least R45 –which gives themak-er a good profit.” The closure of many cloth-ing manufacturers has made it difficult forseamstresses to survive. So Cassiem decidedto design an outfit which is quick, easy and
cheap to produce.He invites anyone whowants to learn how
to make this garment to a free workshop,called How to Empower Yourself, on Satur-day 10November at 14:30 at ICC, 89FifthAve-nue, Grassy Park. This will be followed bytwo or three affordable workshops wherestudents learn how to cut a pattern and as-semble the outfit. “They will go home witha sample outfit and the pattern,” he says.Contact Janodien Emandien at ICC
(021) 706 2686 or Cassiem Abrahams at(021) 715 1440 for more information.

New wheels for baboon managersTHE newBaboonManagement teamwillbe driving seven Toyota Hilux and Avan-zas sponsored by a Tokai car sales firm.Human Wildlife Solutions which was
awarded the R10m contract from the Cityof Cape Town, is headed by behaviouralecologist Dr Philip Richardson.Market Toyota sales executive Karen
Lambert handed the keys over to NickShaw, Field Manager for the South Westregion of Human Wildlife Solutions onFriday.Albertus Smith, of Market Toyota
Tokai, says the sponsored vehicles havebeen customised to accommodate staffand the necessary equipment.Byron Pearce, senior supervisor of the
nine-man team responsible for the Con-stantia/Tokai baboon troops, says theirtask is to monitor the baboons in theirnatural environment.Theywill only intervene if the baboons
show signs of encroaching on human ter-ritory or signs of raiding. They will usepaintball markers as a deterrent, andstay in touch by radio, so if the baboonsstart to move down towards the suburbs
the team can form a line and block themoff.“But they are very crafty and dodge us
by running into the fynbos,” says Pearce.“They soon learned how to jump over theelectricified fence at the top of Swaan-swyk Road in Tokai. They climbed theBlue Gums and hopped from tree to tree,they also dugunder the fenceusing aholecreated by porcupines.”Pearce explained that although there
are food sources on themountain, it takesababoonawholeday to forage for enoughcalories to sustain its energy. “One choc-olate bar contains enough calories tokeep them going the whole day and sus-tain their fat reserves. This time of year,there’s plenty of buds and roots for themto eat.”Human Wildlife Solutions is a dedicat-
ed conservation management companystaffed by a team of highly-trained, expe-rienced young conservationists.“Wehave dedicated our lives to conser-
vation and animals,” says Pearce, a gameranger who has worked in the bush forfour years.

A Pano is created when the scenebefore you is greater than the scope of the lenson your camera. Sometimes, when it can beaccommodated, there is so much other dis-tracting “stuff” included. So, a more concen-trated view needs to be employed – and eachof the sub-photos of your Pano enables you
to capture just what you want, and stitchthem together.
Firstly, set your camera on a tripod makingsure it is absolutely level. For best results aPano needs to be taken in the Portrait format(vertically) otherwise it will end up beinglong and very thin. The photos need to be tak-en from left to right with about a 30% overlapon each picture so that the software has com-mon information between each with which towork when processing.
Set your camera to a high f-stop (f11-f16 willdo) so as to provide a good depth of field. Lookat the area you wish to cover and find a com-
mon distance (and level, if possible) on whichto focus. In the example shown, the lights onthe dock water were the target. Auto Focuson this spot and then turn the camera to Man-ual mode. The focus is now set for the dura-tion of the Pano.
Ordinarily in daytime, one would use a po-lariser to get the best colour from the sky, butwith a Pano one should not be used.
Don’t forget to turn the image stabilisationof your lens/camera off. So as not to jolt thecamera when taking the photos, either attacha cable release, if you have one, or activatethe selftimer.

Mutual retain coveted youth titleLIAM MOSES
OLD MUTUAL ACADEMY successfullydefended theirMrPriceParkhurstAcade-my under-15 tournament title this week-end, after beating Montague Spurs in thefinal on Sunday.
The Pinelands-based club have been in im-perious form this season, winning the under-11 and under-15 titles at the Kensington AFCYouth Cup and reaching the latter stages ofalmost everyother competition inwhich theyhave participated.Montague Spurs, from Grassy Park, were
completely outplayed on the day and lost 3-0in the end. Team coach Faiek Stoffels says ex-perience gaveMutual the edge over his team.“I think we should have practised more be-
fore the game, but otherwise we did quitewell,” says Stoffels.“Mutual had the experience over us. They
know exactly where to put the ball, whereasour boys are very inexperienced. That is theway they learn and its good experience forthem.”Mutual signalled their intentions to keep
the Parkhurst trophy in their possession atthe start of theday’s play,when they thrashedAtlantic Nacional 5-0 in the quarter-finals.The defending champions could not repli-
cate their dominance in the semi-finalsagainstMasithandaneFCandwon 5-4 on pen-
alties, after regular time finished goalless.Spurs, meanwhile, thumped Masidlale
Academy 3-0 in the quarters and beat KuilsRiver FC 2-1 in the semi-finals.In the final,OldMutual dominated fromthe
opening whistle and scored early throughGary Havenga. The defender hit a shot fromjust inside the opposition half and oppositiongoalkeeper Ra’oof Hendricks pushed the ballonto the cross bar before it rebounded off himand over the line.Mutual doubled the lead a few minutes lat-
er when a long ball fell to Juanito Manuel inthe opposition box and he angled the ball justinside the far post.Roger Link’s charges completed the rout in
the secondhalfwhen an incisive through-ballfound Jesse Langenhoven in space, and hecalmly side-footed the ball past Hendricks.Stoffels says he was happy with his team’s
performance despite the heavy defeat. “It’sthe first time we are playing in this tourna-ment and the level of football is high. I thinkit’s a good experience for us,” says Stoffels.“We are actually supposed to be the under-
dogs. I think we have done well to get in thefinal; we should give ourselves a round of ap-plause for that.”In the mid-section, Two Oceans Academy
andYMOSt Luke’smet in the final after beat-ing Bayhill United and Vasco da Gama re-spectively in the semis. St Luke’s won 4-2 onpenalties after a 3-3 draw, while Two Oceans
snatched a 1-0 victory. Two Oceans took thetitle thanks to a 4-0 victory in the final.PinelandsbasedJeanMarc IthierAcademy

without goals, and Hanover Park FC bookedtheir place in the finalwith a 1-0win over IdasValley. Hanover Park, whose senior team re-cently won the Coca-Cola Cup, triumphed 3-1in the final.

Milano’s patchyaway form continuesLIAM MOSES
THE disparity between Milano United’shome and away form was again evidentwhen the Grassy Park team achieved twocontrasting results in the National FirstDivision last week.
United despatched Thanda Royal Zulu 3-1at a windswept Rooikraans Sports Complexlast Wednesday (31 October), but then stut-tered to a 0-0 draw away to Sivutsa Stars atKanyamazane Stadium in Mpumalanga.Milano were also held to draws against
United FC in a home game played at theWyn-berg Military base and in a clash against Dy-namos in Limpopo, while they suffered theironly defeat of the season against Jomo Cos-mos in Johannesburg.Theo Henpe, Milano head coach, attributes
the lukewarm away results to strong opposi-tion and the toll of travelling.“I think the only game where we should
have had a better result was against JomoCosmos, because wemissed a lot of chances,”says Henpe.“The one draw was against Dynamo and
that’s always a difficult place to play. Thesame goes for Sivutsa Stars, where we had totravel for four hours to get to the stadium.The weather there is also difficult to play in.“As a new team it’s always going to be a
challenge to play there, but I think we keptour own in the away games.”
Henpe adds playing in suchunfamiliar sur-roundings could also have upset some of hisless experienced players, but is confident itwill improve as the season continues.Milano return to Rooikraans this week,
when they tackleMpumalangaBlackAces onSaturday.The visiting side have already claimed the
scalp of oneCape Town side this season. Theybeat Santos 1-0 at Athlone Stadium on Satur-day 6 October in the opening game for bothsides. Aces have also drawn with AfricanWanderers 0-0, defeated Blackburn Rovers3-1, beaten Roses United 2-1, and won 1-0against Polokwane City.Henpe believes his team have what takes
to stage an upset at Rooikraans thisweekend.“We respect them (as) they are team (of a)
high pedigree and top of log, but just becausewe respect them doesn’t mean we are goingto fear them,” says Henpe.“We feel we can get maximum points from
anyone in the league. We (are) a very strongas a unit, especially at home.”Santos, meanwhile, drew 2-2 with Black-
burn Rovers on at Athlone Stadium Sunday.The People’s Team have won only once in
their six games this season, drawing threetimes and losing twice. The dropped pointswill hurt their chances of bouncing straightback to the top-flight this season.Mart Nooij’s charges will look to return to
winning ways when they face Roses Unitedin Free State on Saturday.
