Cyclist’sdeath redflags safetyTERESA FISCHER

CYCLISTAlanWillenbergofMa-rina da Gama says trucks andbuses often drive dangerouslyclose to cyclists on Main Road.

This comment comes afterMasiphumelele resident SivuyileSame (36) was killed in St James at07:00 on Wednesday following a col-lision with a Golden Arrow bus.

This is on a section of the roadwhich has already been upgraded.

By the time Willenberg passedthe scene, sand had been used tocover the blood on the road and thebus had left the scene. He feared itwas a hit-and-run, but Golden Ar-row Bus Services spokespersonBronwen Dyke says the driverstopped immediately.

The driver has been suspended.Dyke says this is to allow the inves-tigation to be completed and be-cause the driver would be in shock.

“It is not yet clear what hap-pened,” she says, adding the compa-ny will meet with the Pedal PowerAssociation (PPA) this week.

PPA chairperson Steve Haywardsays they want to compile an aware-ness training module for bus driv-ers.

He says over the last year, thePPA has spent just over R500 000 ona safety awareness campaign.

“We have allocated nearly R1m toexpand the campaign in the nextyear, on a national level.”

Their message –Cyclists stay aliveat 1.5m – refers to the distance vehi-cles should keep between them-selves and cyclists.

They will continue to petition au-thorities for demarcated cycle path

and laws to increase the safety of cy-clists. “We include commuters fromdisadvantaged areas and not onlythe lycra-clad brigade,” says Hay-ward.

Andrew Wheeldon, co-founderand managing director of the Bicy-cling Empowerment Network (Ben)of SA, says the organisation askedthe City of Cape Town and the ap-pointed consultants for cyclinglanes on Main Road from Muizen-berg to Fish Hoek about four yearsago as the construction was aboutto commence.

He says at the time they were toldthere was not enough physicalspace as the road is bordered by pri-vate Metrorail land on one side andresidential properties on the other.

He notes it is a pity the Main Roadupgrade has advanced to this stagealready, without cyclists being tak-en into account.

After the accident he sent a letterto Western Cape Premier HelenZille’s office, the Department ofTransport and Public Works, theCity of Cape Town Transport andothers regarding his concerns forthe safety of cyclists.

Wheeldon says he has received aresponse from the premier’s office,the provincial transport depart-ment and others, which mentionsthe possibility of a forum being setup to investigate the issue.

A short-term solution, he says,would be signage to warn motoriststo be mindful of cyclists.

The PPA plans to hold a silentprotest at the accident scene onWednesday between 06:45 and 07:15.

Spread the festive cheerDear reader,

Avisit to shoppingmalls willconfirm thatwe’re amere eightweeks away from Christmas.Visual evidence such as gift

wrap, gift ideas and stores fes-toonedwith festive decorationsentrench this.Some of our smart friends

have already bought presentsfor their loved ones, months inadvance, in some cases.They’re the people who work

well with their cash – emphasison cash.The alternative is credit which may not be

the best route, but a necessary evil at times.Despite our upbringing and the multitude

of lectures our parents gave us about the dan-gers of buying on credit, most of us have hadto go this route at some point.We can of course justify our actions when

it comes towhat is termed “good debt”, name-ly our homes and cars, which few can pay forin cash. In fact, raising the deposit on a houseor car is a tall enough order formost. A house

is an investment and we need acar for work – it’s as simple asthat, we reason.But, as we contemplate our

income and expenses betweennow and the festive season, itmight be a good time to sparea thought for those less fortu-nate.Various initiatives are al-

ready underway to ensure thatalmost everyone has a joyousholiday, with the guarantee ofa meal on Christmas Day andthe joy for children, especially,

of unwrapping a modest gift.Please support the efforts of the hundreds,

if not thousands, of people and organisationsworking tirelessly throughout our beautiful,world-class city to make this a truly joyousChristmas – a day fromwhich nobody shouldbe excluded.It doesn’t matter which faith we belong to

and whether or not we celebrate Christmas.Each of us has the capacity to care.Link up with a good cause and give as you

can; whether it’s volunteering your time at

the SPCA, offering to help out at a children’shome, buying a toy for a needy child, handingout a few loaves of bread in an informal settle-ment or making a contribution towards aChristmas meal for those who cannot affordit. Helping to cook the meal also goes a longwayand it is over the festive season that thereis a dire need for volunteers.It’s sad to see the amount of waste from an

average household – specifically food that isthrown away, and the mountain of cansstocked in people’s pantries. I’ve seen a hugebox, installed at an office for a very goodcause, remain empty for weeks. Not a singledonation of canned food has found its way in-to this box, despite apublic appeal for supportof this worthy cause.Yes, we should enjoy our hard-earnedmon-

ey, and the pleasure of doing that may wellbe enhanced by a charitable deed.’Til next time, go well!ConnectED is a weekly column by Peo-

ple’s Post editor Feroza Miller-Isaacs whocan be contacted at [email protected]’s Post in online. Visit www.peo-

Safety officer for Ocean ViewOCEAN View has been selected to receiveone of the eight additional NeighbourhoodSafety Officers being deployed by the City ofCape Town’s Metro Police Department.A Safety Officer is an experienced Metro

police officer assigned to a predefined neigh-bourhood who works closely with all stake-holders.Theyare specialists, trained toproactively

identify problems which can lead to crimeand disorder.The officers completed an extensive Com-

munity Orientated Policing Services train-ing programme.TheDeputy Chief ofMetro Police, Yolanda

Faro, says “unacceptably high” crime ratesin these areas coupled with other socio-eco-nomic issues are some of the reasons for thedeployment.

It will also address youth issues such astruancy and delinquency.Faro says the role of these officers is to

“promote liveability” and security.They should be approachable and known,

as well as being informed about societal de-velopments and how these influence securi-ty.They should accumulate local knowledge

about neighbourhoods and networks.She says the officers should also mobilise

police, stimulate integrated initiatives andcontribute to operational plans.This is part of a City project in its roll-out

phase. The project is being implemented innine areas, including including Mitchell’sPlain, the City Centre, Manenberg, HanoverPark, Nyanga, Bonteheuwel, Kuyasa andKhayelitsha.

Man stoned to deathAN ANGRY mob stoned a man to deathin Masiphumelele on Saturday.

This incident happened near the taxi rankat 18:00.Ocean View Station Commander Lieuten-

ant-Colonel JJ Augus says police were toldthe victim was allegedly mentally disturbedand “stabbed people”.Augus says emergency services attended

to theman at the scene, but left again fearingfor their safety.The victim, whom Augus says was not

known to the police, later died in hospital.He says there was a crowd of up to 150 peo-

ple at the scene.“There was no chance for him to get

away,” says Augus.He adds the name of the victim, who was

in his late twenties or early 30s, has not yetbeen released.“We urge the community not to take the

law into their own hands. If a person hascommitted a crime and is known to the com-munity, they must inform the police whowill investigate,” says Augus.

Last-minute whale spottingALTHOUGH the peak of the annualmigrationof Southern Right Whales to the Cape coast-line is coming to an end, whale watchers areasked to SMS what they see and when, to theBarons Volkswagen whale watch line on

079 391 2105. “This is because as the seasondraws to a close many folk suddenly get theurge to see a whale and your information candirect them to a specific area,” says projectmanager Alan Lindner.

A greener, healthy homeAA greener,greener, healthyhealthy homehomeMY PREVIOUStwo articles dealtwith twoseparateissues. The firstspoke to how weare all part of thelarger planetarycommunity andour actions havedirect impact onour world and en-vironment, justas the actions of others impact us. Thesecondarticle looked at how themodernenvironmental movement began in re-sponse to the global impacts of chemi-cals.

In this article I will link these two thingsand examine howwe unwittingly invite un-desirable chemicals into our homes, howthey can impact us and how we can breakthis cycle.Every day the media bombards us about

how we are under assault from germs andbacteria.While our environment is inhabit-ed with all kinds of nasty noo-noo’s, the re-ality is we simply cannot ever escape them.The fact is that we all carry a kilo or so

of germs andmicrobes in and on our bodies.The average person has around 10 000 dif-ferent varieties of these little critters livingwith us.Research confirms that their presence in

our systems keeps us healthy, overturningconventional wisdom that all microbes arebad for us.On the other hand there is nothingwrong

with keeping clean. Improved personal hy-giene is one of the reasons modern humanslive so long. While we should wash our

hands properly and regularly, we do notneed to use potent anti-microbial soaps andcleaners in a vain attempt to sterilise ourpersonal environment.The problem is that anti-microbial soaps

kill many of our beneficial microbes thatare part of our personal environment, up-setting the balance. So, instead of helping,we can unwittingly harm ourselves, not tomention everything downstream.Antibacterial chemicals like triclosan

are liberally added to household cleanerslike dishwash soap, toothpaste and person-al care products.Besides killing good bacteria studies

have linked them to liver damage, dermati-tis, reduced muscle strength, sterility andother serious health impacts. Because theybind to fats they can migrate in to breastmilk, creating unnecessary risks to chil-dren. The use of triclosan is presently un-regulated in South Africa.These products encourage the develop-

ment of “super-bacteria,” according to a re-cent release by the US Food and Drug Ad-ministration (FDA). This happens by theirkilling some, but not all, dangerous bacte-ria. Remaining germs develop resistance tothe chemicals as well as other treatmentslike antibiotics.This overuse of otherwise useful chemi-

cals and drugs can undermine our remain-ing lines of defence against some dangerousinfections.A further, hidden risk is thatmuch of this

chemical residue ends up in sewage works,then enters the broader environment.This is magnified up the entire food

chain, from plankton and algae, then upthrough fish, amphibians and birds, even-tually ending up in larger mammals like

dolphins and people. Another worry is thatmany chemicals break down into evenmore toxic components like cancer-causingdioxins.Triclosan is just one of several nasty

chemicals advertisers scare us into bring-ing into our homes, while failing to informus of the downsides for ourselves, ourneighbourhood and our environment.After using them, the active compounds

go down our drain, into treatment works,then intoFalseBaywhere they canaccumu-late in fish which we catch and eat. This ishowour choices can directly affect both ourhealth and that of our en-vironment.The fact is that we real-

ly don’t need these prod-ucts, despite scare tacticsby advertisers. Most ba-sic, old-fashioned ingre-dients are non-toxic,cheaper and do an excel-lent job.For instance the FDA

has shown that normalold-fashioned soap worksjust as well as anti-bacte-rial soap for washinghands.If you want natural an-

ti-bacterial properties toanything just add tea-tree, thyme or rosemaryoil to yourmouth rinse orhand soaps.You can replace toxic,

chemical-based cleanerswith natural productslikewhite vinegar, lemonand harmless chemicals

like bicarbonate of soda. Bicarb and vine-gar will clean grubby pots and pans; vine-gar or lemon juice will clean off mould anddisinfect chopping boards and surfaces.Vinegar cleans scale and dirt from toilets.Add a few drops of rosemary oil as a disin-fectant and you are sorted.Traditional cleaning products not only

save money, but preserve our health andthe environment.So think twice before purchasing chemi-

cal-based cleaners – there is usually acheaper, safer and effective natural substi-tute just a Google away!

relation the basic mathematics need­ed in the statistics world.Due to the growing need to address

statistical development inSouthAfri­ca and to enable learners to under­stand that statistics is part of every­day life, UWC, theWestern Cape Edu­cation Department (WCED) andStatsSA came together to create aprogramme aimed at producing aspecialised body of educatorswho areboth enthusiastic and well­informedabout mathematics and statistics.Speaking at the certification cere­

mony, WCED Chief Educational Spe­cialist Mbulelo Bali noted that teach­er development is a very importantchallenge – especially in the contextof South Africa.“The South African matric results

are very low every year,” said Bali.“Part of the reason for that is thereis always new educational contentthat the teachers were not previouslyexposed to, and when this contentgets to the classrooms the teachersgrapple to deal with it, and this im­pacts the quality of the lessons.”

IFYOUare a school leaver or justlooking for a great career, it’sdefinitely worth your while to

consider the great opportunitiesthat just keep coming out of the In­formation Technology industry.

While virtually every other type ofemployment takes a hit in thesetense economic times, demand forthose skilled in network engineer­ing, programming andweb develop­ment remain strong across all skilllevels.

What do IT professionals do?Network engineers are responsi­

ble for maintaining internet and of­fice networks,making sure comput­ers and their users can always keepin touch with each other.Technicians, such as those who

have obtained A+ certification sta­tus, are responsible for ensuringthat thephysical guts of the information

age – the computers themselves – arerunning in tip­top shape.Programmers and web developers

write the software which runs onthese computers and networks.They create the programmes or

the sets of instructions that comput­ers read and carry out.

What’s so great about being an ITprofessional?Studies showthat ITworkershave

more job security, more choiceswhen deciding who to work for andmakemoremoney, faster, thanmostother kinds of occupations.Thegreat thingabout IT is that it’s

always changing and evolving,bringing more opportunities fornewcomers to get their foot in thedoor.If there is any field where a hard­

working young person canprogress rapidly and quickly reachthe top of their game, with all the re­wards that go with it, it must be IT.You could be a professional in the

workforce, earning serious moneyin as little as six months.

How do I become an IT profession­al?The easiest and most reliable way

toget into IT is to get an internation­ally­recognised IT qualification like

those offered by Microsoft’s MCP,CompTIA, Oracle and EC­Council.IT jobs are demanding and need

people who know their stuff.That’s why internationally­recog­

nised certification is such a goodidea, because if you pass your testsand get certified, you know you’reready to take on any challenge thatcomes your way, guaranteed!All the major IT companies in the

world offer certification in theirproducts and “platforms”, to makesure there is always a supply ofqualified professionals who knowhow to operate them like true ex­perts.Employers know they can rely on

certified staff to deliver, so it’s notsurprising that over 70% of themsay they won’t hire uncertified staffif they have the choice.

Can I work overseas with my ITcertification?It’s not called “international­rec­

ognised” for nothing because thesequalifications are accepted all overthe world.If you are a certified professional

doors open for you from America toDubai and Europe.And if things are still sweet for IT

workers in SA, they are even betterabroad.IT recruitment is up 11% in the

United States where a 2009 Com­puterworldmagazine survey identi­fied web developers, network ad­ministrators and information secu­rity managers as jobs that receivedhigher­than­average pay hikes.In Europe a survey of 300 compa­

ny managers showed that twothirds of themwere planning to hireadditional IT staff in the comingyear, with a third reporting: “ITworkers are getting harder to find.”

Who offers the best and cheapestIT training in SA?IT Business Campus (ITBC) has

over a decade of experience when itcomes to supplying certified profes­sionals to blue­chip corporate cli­ents and has managed to leverageit’s influence to provide a cost­effec­tive route to getting certified.This includes the traditionally

costly ProMetric testing which isavailable at all ITBC campuses.

ITBC offers hundreds of certifica­tion options from every availablecompany and is the cheapest youwill find anywhere – guaranteed.The ITBC advantage lies in it’s ad­

vanced self­study format backed byexpert online instructors and ad­vanced multimedia controls thatreplicate the classroom experiencewherever you can plug in a compu­ter and log into the internet.Access to the ITBC hub and

courseware provides everything astudent needs to achieve interna­tionally­ recognised IT certification,including labs, exercises and prac­tice exams.It’s never been easier to make the

leap into a growing industry and re­ceive world class training.

Sounds great, how do I find outmore?ITBCwill hold open days fromNo­

vember and offers discounts of up to50% for those who book courses on­line. To learn more about ITBC, takean aptitude test or discuss your cer­tification options and career pathwith our expert advisors.Contact them on (021) 671 3104,

Cheap justice?IN ONE case the wheels of justice have cometo a halt. President Jacob Zuma has with-drawn his lawsuit against cartoonist Jonath-an “Zapiro” Shapiro.The Zapiro cartoon, published by a Sunday

newspaper in September 2008, depicts thepresident with a shower on his head and hispants undone. “Lady Justice” is pinned downby former ANC Youth League president Ju-lius Malema, Cosatu general secretary Zwel-inzima Vavi, SA Communist Party generalsecretary Blade Nzimande and ANC secre-tary generalGwedeMantashe, all saying: “Gofor it, boss”.Zuma had, at the time, been acquitted of

rape. He also had a long-running battleagainst corruption charges with Thint, aFrencharmscompany.The corruption charg-es have been dropped as the National Prose-cuting Authority reportedly said there wasrecorded evidence of interference in the case.The R5m lawsuit – first reduced to R4m

with the impairment of dignity aspectdropped, then reduced to R100 000 for defama-tion and an unconditional apology – has beengoing since December 2008.It was withdrawn yesterday.Presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj

said Zuma wanted to avoid setting a legalprecedent which could limit “the public exer-cise of free speech”.Zapiro has called it a “great victory for free-

dom of expression, satire and for comment”.The political power play cannot be ignored.Political figureheads are fair game for the

media. These may all be true.Putting aside the issues of freedom of ex-

pression, the imagery of the rape of Lady Jus-tice leaves a bitter aftertaste.Perhaps without intending to, the cartoon

may be seen as transcending good taste.Whatdoes the cartoon say to any woman who hasever been violated like this? This countryhasa very high incidence of rape – committed bymen of all backgrounds. Making fun of politi-cians in this way may reverberate with thesound of a hollow victory after all.

Locust is a pestIN ANSWER to Wendy Manserabout the insect she found in hergarden, it is from a locust familyand must be destroyed (People’sPost, 23 October).It eats everything fromyour flow-

ers to your vegetation. They arepests and will multiply fast.It also has a yellow substance that

is poisonous, so they are not verynice.ROSE REEDDa Gama Park

Thanks for excellent serviceI MUST warmly commend Epic Electronic HubinAtlanticRoad,Muizenberg, on their excellentservice. Recently I bought a new computer fromthem, had Windows 7 installed and all the filesanddata transferred frommyold computer ontothe new one. They were quick, efficient andfriendly.There have been teething problems – all baf-

fling and stressful. Their help, advice and pa-tience have been wonderful. Nothing has beentoo much trouble for them and they ensure thattheir customers are happy with the service.I am impressed and hope they will go from

strength to strength.CAROLE WARDMuizenberg

Don’t be too hasty to complainTHERE are some citizens who have becomequite famous due to their community issues let-ters published in the local media.At times one cannot help but wonder how lo-

cal politicians are politely targeted to score po-litical points with a hasty flash of the power ofthe pen.This arises when a community issue is sent

orbroughtunder theattentionof a local council-lor or to the City’s departments heads. If thereis not a quick enough response on the issuesthen lines are drawn as in a gun battle in theoldWildWest,where bulletswere emptiedwith-out mercy.In regard to any service delivery issue ormat-

ters effecting a community,magicwandsare on-ly stories in fairy tales. In reality and in the realworld there are restraints, time frames, waitinglists, labour issues, resource availability and fi-nancial issues. The most important point is apolite follow-up to the complainant or communi-ty. Silence in the process will give the opposi-tion political points to the detriment of the localappointed politician.

Those who have service delivery issuesshould look at the dedicated staff – if any – con-tingent of the local councillor, apart from thevolunteer ward committee, in relation to thewhole layout of a ward. I think we will then be-come political polite and patient.But I must add that the local politician of

whichever political party will be political cor-rect to address the needs of the communitiesand, in turn, be very sure to keep theward popu-lation up to date on the progress of the issuesraised.In doing this, a local politician will give no

person political points and those who are soquick to collect those points will be just as hastyand honest to give praise points where it is due.So to those seeking political points: be patient

and slow to criticise. And keep this quote byGroucho Marx in mind: “Politics is the art oflooking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diag-nosing it incorrectly and applying the wrongremedies”.KEITH BLAKEOttery

Mocke pips RiceONEwould be forgiven for thinking it wasa finish of an international surfski eventto cross the line on Fish Hoek Beach in theHansaThreeBeachesRaceat theweekend.

In the end it came down to the smallest ofwaves literally metres before the finish linethat gave the current world number one, Daw-id Mocke, a narrow victory over Sean Rice,ranked third in the world.

“I’m grateful for the win,” Mocke says. “Youneed to take them when you can – especiallywith the class of Sean racing beside you.”

Third went to Tom Schilperoort, with juniorKenny Rice in fourth and Ashley Carstens infifth – making a debut in the top five. BothMocke and Sean Rice are contenders for theworld title to be decided later this year at thesame venue.

Gale-force conditions forced race organisersof the Best4 Summer Series to change thecourse from the planned “3 Beaches” to an“Out and Back” route around the Roman RockLighthouse in Simon’s Town. The revisedroute saw the 104 paddlers who entered bat-tling their way into the ferocious Cape Doctorfor 5km via Glencairn, before turning aroundthe lighthouse for a “classic” downwind pad-dle home.

What would’ve started as grimaces into thewind, ended up in smiles after the downwindsection as paddlers reached speeds in excessof 20km/h while riding the swells.

Lifeguards from Fish Hoek and crew of theSimon’s Town National Sea Rescue Institute(NSRI) had to rescue six paddlers had to be res-cued from reefs at Roman Rock.

The Best4 Surfski Series race organisersNikki Mocke said they were well prepared torun the race in the gale.

“We have a solid safety plan and all competi-tors are required to have personal flotation de-vice, leashes and signalling/communicationdevices. In conditions like (Sunday’s) it wasactually much safer than you think if you ad-here to the rules. We also have two course op-tions to choose from: a safer short course andthe long course. Surfski (and ocean) paddlingis about adventure, fitness and racing and theconditions are a true test of skill. If we didn’tpaddle (in Sunday’s race) we wouldn’t be do-ing our sport justice.”

The ladies race was extremely close with thewomen racing neck-and-neck all the way tothe turn. The loaded ladies race – with a smor-gasbord of national and international achieve-ments between the top five – saw Nikki Mockepulling out an unbelievable race to take thewin. Donia Tilsley (Kamstra) came second, al-so a remarkable result showing how “experi-enced form” will trump “youthful vigour” intough conditions. Both very experienced pre-vious winners of the Series and multiple SouthAfrican representatives and medalists, therough conditions would’ve suited them both.Kim van Gysen (Brugman) took third, with Al-exa Cole in fourth and Eloise Horn in fifth.Full results on www.surfski.co.za.

SURFINGSOUTHAFRICA’SWomen’sPro provided the forum for the FarSouth’s women surfers to strut theirstuff in their localwaves as simultane-ous events took place at Long Beach,Kommetjie, Durban and Jeffrey’s Bayon Sunday.

TanikaHoffman, who has spentmost of2012 competing internationally, showedthe benefit of surfing full-time by postinga number of eight- and nine-point rides toclinch both the women’s and under-20 ti-tles, pocketing R2 000 in prize money inthe process.Muizenberg’s Danielle Johnson

clinched the runner-up berth in both divi-sions in the windswept surf with Kom-metjie locals Tarryn Chudleigh and Si-mone Robb clinching third and fourthplaces respectively in the women’s eventand Holly Armstrong (Scarborough) tak-ing fourth in the under-20’s.The under-16 girls division in the Pro

Surf Tour rated eventwas hotly contestedwith Anoush Zakarian (Melkbosstrand)taking the win ahead of Ruth Armstrong(Scarborough), Sam Sutton (Constantia)and Caitlin October (Noordhoek).The next edition of the Women’s Pro is

scheduled for Sunday 25 November and

entries can be made online at www.surf-ingsouthafrica.co.za.Those surfers who enjoy competing are

reminded that theWPSurfingChampion-ships for all divisions is set for this week-end, Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 November.The WP Champs is one of the country’slongest-running surf competitions withthe first champions crowned in 1964.More information and online entriesavailable at www.wpsurfing.co.za.Last week saw one of the largest gather-

ings of local surfers and Stand Up Pad-dlers (SUP) when Far South-based ex-tremewaterman andmotivational speak-er Chris Bertish launched his latestproject to raise funds and awareness forthe ocean environment and food for desti-tute Africans while setting a GuinnessWorld Record.The SUP Crossing will see Bertish pad-

dling a 6m (18 foot) long downwind oceanracing stand up paddleboard solo acrossthe Atlantic Ocean from West Africa toNorthern Brazil, a distance of over3 250km. Bertish plans to paddle about50km every day and expects the epic jour-ney to take around 65 days.The entire project will be eco-friendly

with the support craft using sail wherepossible and bio-fuel when under powerwith solar panels for the electricity re-quired to drive the satellite data systemswhich will see the team posting dailyblogs, images and updates. There is alsospace onboard for a marine biologist toconduct research on water quality andother projects during the journey.Bertish,who insists if thewords “can’t”

and “impossible” were removed from thelanguage, everybody would be able toachieve much more, is still seeking fund-ing for the project planned for early 2013and has posted all the information atwww.thesupcrossing.com.
