Put a Spring in your stepPut aPut a SpringSpring inin youryour stepstepDear reader,
Spring offers a chance fornew beginnings, like a secondNew Year – nine months later.
Along with some welcomesunshine to complement springcleaning of house, body andsoul, comes a time to dust awaythe winter cobwebs, reflect andcommit afresh.
I began my commitment to amore physically active lifestyleby getting up and dancing, albe-it a bit stiffly, at the LansdowneSectors 1, 2 and 3 Community Police Forum’sSpring Ball last Friday; following this up withmore applied, energetic moves at a teenageparty the next day.
My teenage great niece refused to join me,a few four-year-olds and several teeny bop-pers as we made the circle bigger at this fami-
ly event.Aside from eye contact with
the taller teens, whose moves Iattempted to copy, nobodyseemed to care that an aunt was“in the house”.
What truly impressed methough was the vigour dis-played at the spring ball byMark Kleinschmidt, chairper-son of the Kenwyn Safety andSecurity and Ratepayers’ andCivic Association. Part of theevening’s proceedings includedthe handing over of a sponsored
People’s Post bicycle to the association.I was in awe when Mark hopped on the new
bike, taking it for a spin around the hall.That’s the beauty of living life in the
present.As adults, we’re too preoccupied with doing
the “right thing”, our image and others’ per-
ception of us.So much so that we forget to relish the joy-
ful moments.My insightful weekend culminated with
observing the care and patience my dadshows my mom.
This has not wavered in the two years shehas been living with cancer. A relationshipof this quality is the result of decades of to-getherness, unconditional acceptance andunderstanding.
This brings me to my resolve to enhancemy understanding of among others, differentfaiths, beginning with the Jewish holiday ofRosh Hashanah.
I acquired some information from the in-ternet as follows: “A day of judgement andcoronation, the festival of Rosh Hashanah isthe anniversary of the creation of Adam andEve and is observed for two days beginningon 1 Tishrei, the first day of the Jewish year”.
This year, Rosh Hashanah begins the
evening of Sunday 16 September and ends theevening of Tuesday 18 September.
“Rosh Hashanah emphasises the special re-lationship between God and humanity. It isalso the anniversary of man’s first sin and hisrepentance thereof, and serves as the first ofthe ‘Ten Days of Repentance’ which culmi-nates in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement”.
Some Rosh Hashanah observances includeeating a piece of apple dipped in honey, tosymbolise “our desire for a sweet year” andblessing one another with the words “Le-shanah tovah tikateiv veteichateim (May yoube inscribed and sealed for a good year)”.People’s Postwishes all our Jewish readers
and clients a blessed Rosh Hashanah.’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]. People’s Post in online. Visitwww.peoplespost.co.za.

Busy gambling cornerLUZUKO ZINI
THE aptly named Busy Corner, GrassyPark, has become a den for illegal gam-bling.
This according to Grassy Park Communi-ty Police Forum (CPF) chairperson, PhilipBam. Concerns have been raised by resi-dents and theCPF about the illegal gamblingwithin walking distance of Grassy Park Po-lice Station.An outraged Bam says this is unaccepta-
ble.“People passing the corner need to feel
safe, but at themoment the gamblers get vio-lent towards residents and even rob them,”he says.Bam also accuses the police of not attend-
ing to this problem.
“The fact that a criminal activity is hap-pening on the doorstep of a police station isworrying, because it seems the police arenotdoing anything about this,” he says.“People don’t respect the police and that
respect will come once police act.”Station commander of Grassy Park Police
Station, Colonel Adrian Saulse, says no cas-es of robbery from the corner were reportedlastmonth. “For themonth ofAugust no rob-beries were reported,” he says.“Gambling at Busy Corner is monitored
on a daily basis and operations are executedin conjunction with Metro Police.”Daniel Egleey, a street vendor at the Busy
Corner claims the gamblers have stolenfromhim. “These people stealmy things andalso makemy customers scared. They brokeintomy store roomand stole clothes and jew-ellery, which amounted to R 2000.” he says.

Factory closure hangs in balanceLAILA MAJIET
FACTORYWORKERS have been left in thedark as the closure of a local clothingmanu-facturer hangs in the balance.The looming closure of the Ellen Arthur
Clothing Factory in Ottery has left manypeople frustrated as they have been onshort-time for almost twomonths nowwithno end in sight.Some of the 400 employees have not been
paid for over a month and the company de-clines to issue them their unemploymentcards so that they can claim from their un-
employment fund.Rukeya Bam (46) from Strandfontein has
been a loyal worker at the factory for thepast 16 years. She says it is a battle as shehas not been paid for almost two months.“I have been on short-time for over a
month. They say no work no pay, but wehave bills to pay and families to feed. It ishard. I have two sons. We cannot surviveon my husband’s salary.“I must make food without meat. My
mother does help us out, butwe can’t expectto live off other people who have familiesof their own.”Bam says it is with the help of God that
they manage to survive.This factory worker says they were told
the factory had nomoney as their contractswere being given to other clothing and tex-tile manufacturers. “The manager commit-ted to applying for a loan, but therehas beennomention of this since that day almost two
months ago,” Bam adds.Workers had been called in for duty two
weeks ago, but when they arrived the facto-ry’s gates were closed and there was nomanagement on site to let them in.The Southern African Clothing and Tex-
tile Workers’ Union (SACTWU) is engagingwith company management to try and findreprieve for the workers.The union’s Jane Kastoor, however, re-
fused to comment on the matter.Despite numerous attempts,People’s Post
was unable to obtain comment from the fac-tory’s CEO.

Readers split on vigilantism revivalDON’T BE STUPID:Tshepo Leboko sayspeople who take thelaw into their ownhands often find themselves behind bars,while the suspectedguilty party is free. “Itis never good to get violent – even if youthink there is a reason. People should letthe police do theirjobs. That is what theyget paid for.”
VIGILANTISM is back on the block,cropping up in communities acrossCape Town, but should citizens take thelaw into their own hands? People’s Postreaders share their views with Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini.
DIFFICULT CHOICE:Lauren Heberdenfeels there is no reason why the community should notbe able to sort outtheir own differences. “For some situations you can takethe law into yourhands, as long as itis done without violence.”Photos: Tarren-Lee Habel-gaarn and Luzuko Zini
ABSENT AUTHORITIES: Olivia Pougnetsays disputes shouldbe left to the authorities to deal with. However, she says, the police often take too longto respond to complaints, forcing thecommunity to deal withcriminals. “Sometimespeople take the law into their own hands toget something done.”
INNOCENT VICTIMS: CindyBanga is convinced that violence is never the answer toany situation and that communities should allow thelaw to protect innocent persons. “There are times wheninnocent people are hurt bycommunity violence. Howcan you know for sure if thatperson is guilty?”
WASTE OF TIME: AbdulWahaab Kennedythinks the police arethe reason communities take the law intotheir own hands. Hethinks there is nothingwrong with vigilantism. “It’s right. Communities should takethe law into their ownhands, because thepolice take their owntime to respond.”
ENOUGH: MelissaLee Williams hasempathy for communities who suffer crime in theirareas. She saysthey can’t alwaysdepend on policeto fix the situation. “Communities are tired ofcrime and the police aren’t doingtheir work.”
LESSONLEARNT:Andile Nqekezafeels mob justice is the rightway to get people to listenand curb repeat offenders.“Criminals always comeback after being arrested, soif they are beaten they willlearn a lesson.”
JUSTICE: Cindy Parsons says whensomeone is caughtin the act, the community needs to actas the police takelong to respond. “Ifthe communitycatches someone, abeating is suitable.You work hard foryour stuff and nobody has the right totake your things.”

THE ROBOTS at an intersec-tion on Strandfontein Road,Fifth Avenue and Schaap-kraal Road have finally beenrepaired after being de-stroyed in a service deliveryriot.
The traffic lights, whichhave been out of order for near-ly twomonths, are possibly thecause of three accidents at thatintersection since the robotswere destroyed.The robots have been out
since a violent protest broke out in PhumlaniVillage on 26 July.The protesters spilled over into Strandfon-
tein, burning down the robots at the intersec-tion.People’s Post reported about the protest
(“Anarchy at service delivery protest”, 31 Ju-ly) when chaos erupted as residents protest-ed about service delivery and housing.A motorist, who has been living in Pelican
Park for almost 22 years, says shewas recent-ly in an accident at the intersection.Mymona Arend (55) says drivers do not
treat the intersection as a four-way stop.“I have done enquiries and reported the
faulty traffic signal by calling the toll-freenumber. The call centre operator said itwould take two weeks at most to fix, but it’sbeen nearly two months,” she fumes.“People drive recklessly through the inter-
section. The cops stand behind the bushesand trap speeding motorists, but none of theofficers step in when they see motorists nottreating the intersection as a four-way stop.”
However Richard Bosman,the executive director of theCity’s Safety and Security Di-rectorate, says traffic officershave not been doing speed en-forcement at this intersectionduring the unrest period.“City traffic services did as-
sist in the morning and after-noon peak periods with pointduty.When the temporary stopsignswere erected at the end ofJuly, traffic officers withdrewfromactive point duty and con-tinued to monitor the situa-tion.”He says only three traffic
fines were also issued during the off-peak pe-riod for failing to adhere to the stop sign.Saleem Ryklieff (22) says he is relieved the
robots have been fixed as the faulty trafficsignals created an unsafe situation on theroads.“It was quite dangerous to drive there be-
cause people didn’t stop as they should.Sometimes I had to wait longer than usualbecause people force their way into the inter-section and do not allow you a turn to go,”he says.Brett Herron, the Mayoral Committee
member for Transport, Roads and Stormwa-ter, explains why it had taken nearly twomonths for the traffic signals to be repaired.“The extent of the damage to this particu-
lar intersection necessitated complete re-placement. Itmust also be borne inmind thatsome of the areas are still very volatile andthe transport department is guided by theSafety and Security Directorate in terms ofwhen it canproceedwithwork in certain are-as,” he says.

PRINCESS Vlei got a green makeo-verwhenabout 100 treeswereplant-ed in honour of Arbor Month.
Pupils from Lotus River High Schooland John Graham Primary School, inPlumstead, rolled up their sleeves toplant trees at a ceremony on Wednes-day.Phillip Bam, Princess Vlei Forum
chairperson, says nature needs to bepreserved.“Today we are celebrating the impor-
tance of nature and how we should begrateful for and preserve places likePrincess Vlei. Another good thing isthat we are getting the youth involvedand showing them how they can dotheir bit in preserving the vlei for fu-ture generations,” he says.LotusRiverHighSchool teacherJack
Samson says the learners need to learnabout nature.“The children here today need to
learn about the history of the vlei andpreserve it. We hope they can spreadthemessage to their friends so that theycan love nature,” he says.Roleen Ellman, the assistant director
for Biodiversity Education and Em-powerment at the South African Na-tional Biodiversity Institute (Sanbi),says raising awareness about openspaces is very important. “As the insti-tute we are very involved with pupilsfrom different schools. We are educat-ing them about the importance of na-ture.“Today the pupils have an opportuni-
ty to be part of the Princess Vlei com-munity by planting these trees,” shesays.GuyMcDonald, GoodHope FMbreak-
fast show host, believes the vlei offerspeople a chance to be “in touchwith na-ture”. “I feel strongly about preservingopen spaces like these. It is also good tosee the youth involved. This shows thatif we give the right tools the youth arewilling to participate in anything. Thevlei offers everyone a chance to connectwith nature,” he says.Rachel Adams, grandmother of Cape
Cobras coach PaulAdams, attended theevent and says the vlei holds goodmem-ories for her. “I used to bring my chil-dren and grandchildren here. The vleihas lots of memories for me,” she says.Tiffany Hendricks, who is in grade 11
at LotusRiverHigh School, says she op-poses the building of a mall on the vlei.“Today our school is here to plant
trees and show we don’t want a mall tobuilt here. We learn a lot from placeslike the vlei, because we always comehere to learn about the plants and biodi-versity,” she says.

Ward 110 councillor Shanen Rossouw, aformer teacher, plans to put dedicated “child-care officers” on the job to halt truancy andmisbehaviour.
Rossouw has identified schools in Laven-der Hill, Retreat and Grassy Park for the pro-gramme and has applied to the social develop-ment department for funding.
Principals in Grassy Park say truancy andmisconduct have become major problems inrecent years, as the area’s social ills startedto affect schools.
Rossouw believes her programme couldmake a dent in the truancy and misconduct
levels by bringing teachers, children and par-ents closer together. “I was a remedial teach-er for 30 years at Zerilda Park Primary Schoolin Seawinds; I know what is happening inschools,” says Rossouw.
Her plan will see a child-care officer placedin each of the nine schools in her ward tomonitor misconduct and truancy, contact theparents to keep them informed and investi-gate the source of the problems.
“What the child-care officer must do is gethold of the parents to help them improve theirparenting skills,” says Rossouw.
“If there is a problem with the child, theproblem is likely at home. I want to get holdof the parents to give them parenting skills.I want to make them responsible parents.”
The programme will also direct householdsfor government assistance.
The programme is still being developed,
but principals have already met with Ros-souw.
Riedwan Samodien, principal of Kanne-meyer Primary in Grassy Park, is certain theprogramme will work at his school.
“If we have an extra pair of hands who caninvestigate why children are playing truantor misbehaving at the school, it will be anadded value to the school,” says Samodien.
“It depends on the person being appointed.If it is the right person, who is passionateabout making a difference in our children’slives at schools, then it will work.”
Fairmount High School principal TerenceKlassen says the child-care officers would bevery useful in helping to deal with the socialand domestic issues which lead to misbehav-iour and truancy.
“It is desperately required, especially look-ing at the community we serve. The parents
think the children are at school and they arenone the wiser,” says Klassen.
“We need somebody to act as a go-betweenwith the parents and the teachers. The teach-ers have full teaching loads and after schoolwe have extracurricular programmes, so theteachers are busy until 18:00. And it is verydifficult for them to get hold of parents.”
Some schools have already identified offic-ers to work at the schools and some officersare already working at schools as volunteers.If the programme is approved, the officerswill receive a stipend.
It is envisaged that the officers will be atschools each day and visit children and theirparents. Rossouw hopes the programme willstart in January. She says volunteers couldalready identify children in need of help andhave them attend programmes at her ward’ssoon-to-opened recreation hub.

Worthy projectDISCOVERING your child has gone missingcould be the beginning of a nightmare for anyparent. An initiative between the police andPink Ladies, an organisation established tohelp find lost children, aims to speed up trac-ing missing children.The joint initiative is to fingerprint chil-
dren at schools and in daycare centres.The project has been piloted in the Nyanga
police cluster, which includes the Athlone,Lansdowne, Manenberg, Nyanga, Philippi,Gugulethu and Philippi East policing pre-cincts.The fingerprinting will go a long way to-
ward assisting police and parents of missingchildren to closing cases and returning suchchildren to their homes or places of safety.The reality is that children often stray from
safety – their homes, the daycare centres andduring family outings. First Aid points at hol-iday destinations often become an impromp-tu place of safety for children who had wan-dered from their families.A parent reunited with a child who had
wanderedoff is thehappyendingweallwouldwelcome. The other end of the divide is a veryreal fear.It brings tomind themisery left in thewake
of the Station Strangler, who terrorised theCape Flats between 1986 and 1994. The bodiesof 22 boys were found face down in shallowgraves in the dunes of Mitchell’s Plain. Theirhands were tied behind their backs.Norman Afzal Simons, a teacher, was ar-
rested and found guilty on one count of mur-der. The fingerprinting project will also cap-ture eye colour and allergies, with each childreceiving a certificate which can accommo-date a recent photograph.It bears questioning why such a simple, yet
very necessary project, has taken so long toget off the ground. There is merit to the annu-al school photographs which stand in familylounges. These photoswill be a vital accompa-niment to the fingerprint certificates.Each child in South Africa should have
such a certificate.
A tribute to Dr Neville AlexanderDR NEVILLE Alexander died at the age of 76 inCape Town onMonday 27 August. Hewas proudof his roots and was a resident of Lotus Riverfor many years.He spent his last years here with us in Lotus
River. He was an activist against white oppres-sion and apartheid froman early age. His social-ist views weremarried in a deep sense of caringfor the underprivileged. This intellectual giantand scholar of note was always there to arguefor the rights of the poorest of the poor.Dr Alexander was fascinated by languages,
doing his masters in German at UCT.A teacher at Livingstone High School, his
stand and activism against apartheid led to hisimprisonment together with Nelson Mandelaand others on Robben Island from 1964 until1974.While in prison he taught history to his fel-low prisoners, while Mandela taught law andMac Maharaj taught economics.He was also part of theWorkers Organisation
for Socialist Action and became the director ofthe Project for the Study of Alternative Educa-tion in South Africa at UCT.Alexander wrote many publications on lan-
guages, education and socialism.In 2004 he co-chaired a steering committee for
the Implementation of theLanguagePlan forAf-rica (ILPAA). He received the order of the Disaand, in 2008, won the Linguapax Prize.His rich legacy in somanyareas – arts, human
rights, education – will continue to inform andshape South African society.Throughout his life and despite his achieve-
ments, Alexander remained down to earth andwas a real trustee to the people of Lotus Riverand South Africa.Many of us who live(d) in Lotus River will re-
member how he had to endure the brutality ofthe security police, while being under house ar-rest. But he remained strong and provided valu-able lessons on strategy and tactics to local ac-tivists.Hewill also be remembered and sorelymissed
by his family and many friends and colleagues.We salute the lifelong struggle of Dr Alexan-
der, who helped deliver a democratic South Af-rica we all enjoy today.HISHAAM MOHAMEDChairperson: Ward 65 ANC branch
Road safetyFOLLOWING the massacre of 34 miners I amrenewing my efforts to stop the daily massacreof 43 people on our road. Some 80%of these dailydeaths are the result of speeding and the short-age of traffic police. For years now I have triedto obtain a simple court order to oblige our poli-ticians and traffic authorities to implement the
same road safety measures which cut roaddeaths overseas by up to 90%. Iwas offered legalhelp, including a top advocate, on condition Iobtained a guarantee for legal costs, withoutwhich the lawyers would not work.So all that is needed to cut our road carnage
by 90% is a sponsor.Any company or individualwho will take this outstanding opportunity toserve South Africa can call me on 082 098 9552.C R BENSON
Thanks forfixing leakA CONCERNED residentbrought to my attention thatour most valuable naturalasset – water – was leakingfor quite a while from adrain connection in LovatRoad, Ottery.On inspection it was also
discovered an extremelyhuge drain, without a cover,posed a threat to human andanimal lives alike.A fewmetres away I found
another smaller drain, alsowithout a cover. It seeming-ly belongs to a house watermetre.I forwarded an email to the
offices of councillor MontyOliver on Monday 3 Septem-ber and outlined the con-cerns. Within hours thedrain covers were replaced.This speaks volumes of the
motto: “This City works foryou.” This was shown here.The leaking water issue
needed more attention andon Friday 7 September I sawa Water and Sanitationteam, under their foreman,do major repair work to stopthe water leakage.The team were Luzipo
Monde, Stephen Haas andWesley Bailey.We, as citizens, have to re-
port these issues and be pa-tient the City will deliver.Thank you, councillor

These are the words of aLotus River woman whodreams of releasing an al-bum and sharing her silkyvoice with the rest of thecountry and the world oneday.Tracy Daniels believesher time will come and shewill be ready to cope withthe pressure that comeswith being a musician.Raised by a singlemother,Daniels says her passion formusic began at an early age.“When I was young I was exposed to differ-ent genres of music that range from gospel,to jazz, soul, funk and pop,” she says.“My grandparents loved music and at theage of eight I was listening to great artistsuch as Gloria Estefan and DionneWarwick,I could sing out the lyrics even though Ididn’t know what they meant.”Daniels is a secretary for an air condition-ing company in Lansdowne.She believes she has to work instead of re-lying on the music.“At themoment I look aftermymother. I’mher only child and have to work so we canhave food on the table. That does not meanI will give up my dream of being a singer,”she says.Daniels says she began auditions after herteenyears andhasbeenpart of variousbandswhich have performed in different CapeTown clubs.“When I was in my early 20s I auditionedformy first band. It was called Top Level andwe performed in different clubs all over Cape
Town. Our main genreswere jazz and pop,” she says.It was not easy to have herfirst song recorded and saysshe still has the hunger toachieve more.“I always wanted torecord songs that I had writ-ten.But a lack of financesmeans shewas not able to doso.“I managed to put somemoney together and therewas a producer who washelping unknown artist torecord songs. Imadeplans tomeet with him and after acouple of weeks I recordedmy first song, called In MyZone Tonight, in his studio.
The response I got for that songwas amazing.The song was played many times on a localradio station,” she says.The producer who helped Daniels realiseher dream of recording her first song isThembalihle Mbuyazwe from Lasoul Pro-ductions.According to Daniels the relationship be-tween her and Mbuyazwe was so “magnifi-cent” that in May she recorded her secondsingle – If I Told You – which is a fusion ofkwaito and house music.The understanding between her andMbuyazwe has also resulted in her third sin-gle being recorded in August.Daniels says she also draws inspirationfrom local artists.“I’m influenced by the late Lebo Mathosa,Bongo Maffin and Freshly Ground,” shesays.Daniels wants to work hard and promoteherself so that her dream of recording an al-bum and being heard on a world stage be-comes reality.

Teaching in HeavenJUANITA WILLIAMS
RETIRED teachers who would still like topass on knowledge and help small chil-dren grasp the basics of learning, are des-perately needed by a small children’shome in Ottery.Heaven’s Nest is looking for volunteersto assist children-in-need with remedialeducation.Heaven’s Nest is an emergency fosterhome for children under the age of eightyears old, who have been abused, aban-doned, neglected or affected by HIV andAids. The home hopes to ease their transi-tion of the children into schools throughthe sunny classroom that has been builtonto the home.“Very few people realise what a disad-vantage children in emergency foster carefacilities are at,” says Heaven’s Nest coor-dinator Eleanor Bester.“Many of the children have had no expo-sure to even basic education. This meansthat when they were sent to school in thepast, they were often unprepared.“This can prove demoralising for chil-dren when they eventually attend schooland are unable to do the same work as theother pupils. This puts themat a disadvan-tagewhich can lead to bullying and behav-ioural problems.Heaven’sNest is commit-ted to breaking the cycle.“Some of the children have never beenexposed to basic skill-building activities,such as using colouring books or listeningto a story being read to them.“Our goal is to prepare these children
before integrating them into preparatoryor primary schools. We want them to holdtheir headshigh andwalk into schoolwiththe confidence that comes from knowingthey are able to do the same work as theother children.”Volunteers are currently assisting thechildren to the best of their ability, but wewould love to have experienced educatorsor students, ” Bester says.“The children love school. We find thatit boosts their confidence and self-esteem.And it’s amazing to see a child who didn’tknow the difference between an apple ora pear when they arrived, enter a regularschool, perform at the same level as theirclassmates, who had a lot more advanta-ges.”The centre has received generous dona-tions from sponsors, but it requires helpwith garage roof repairs and items for theday-to-day care of the children such ascleaning agents, perishable and non-per-ishable foods, infant formula, nappies andwarm clothing. It also needs donations tocover the R65 000 monthly cost of runningthe facility.Heaven’s Nest was opened in 2004 andis run by the task team of St Francis of As-sisi in Strandfontein. Their mission is tobe a safe place of care and nurturing forsome of the projected millions of orphansto emerge from the HIV/Aids pandemicand other children in need.Anyonewhowould like to help, can con-tact Eleanor Bester on0 (021) 703 9781 orfax (021) 703 9781; or 2 [email protected].

New columniston the blockCARBON footprints, clean air and en-vironmental awareness has taken“green” issues into the global realm.
To this end, People’s Post welcomesGlenn Ashton to its ranks of writers.
His column – called Earth Pulse – willcover environmental issues in a relevantand broadly accessible manner.
Ashton says: “Iwill write about how thenatural, built and social environmentseach relate to the other and how one can-not be isolated from the other. The envi-ronment is not only about living things,it is just as much about the inanimatewhich shapes the environment. Theearth, mountains, sky and sea frame ourlives and provide all living things, includ-ing us, with all that we need.”
Our lives are “captivewithin an endlesscycle”.
“It is both too slow for us to notice andtoo fast for us to realise what is happen-ing. As water evaporates from the sea andfalls as rain, it gradually erodes themoun-
tains, fills our dams, grinds the rock intosoil and feeds the endless cycles of life.”
And while we humans think we are soimportant, says Ashton, “the reality isthat we have been here for just the blinkof an eye in the greater narrative of ourplanet”.Earth Pulse, says Ashton, will capture
the “huge influence the billions and bil-lions of people have on the earth”, as wellas be about how “we can each manage tolive a life of meaning”.
“This is what the environment is about:if we do not live in balance with our envi-ronment, we cannot live in balance withsociety or ourselves.”
He hopes his column will help cementour social and environmental lives intosomething that makes sense, that givescohesion and meaning to our lives. “Welive in one of the world’s youngest democ-racies. We have obligations to ourselves,our communities, our nation and perhapsmost importantly, to the legacy we leavefor future generations.”

The disease thatis retail therapyRETAIL therapy is supposedto be “shoppingwith the pri-mary purpose of improvingthe buyer’s mood or disposi-tion”.
Actually it is a psychologicaldisorder called “oniomania”or “compulsive shopping dis-order”, according to research-ers atMelbourneUniversity inAustralia.
Some idea of the seriousnessof the condition can be gaugedfrom a 2001 study by the Euro-pean Union which found that33% of shoppers have “a high level of addic-tion to rash or unnecessary consumption”.
Further evidence of the affliction can beseen in the increasing incidence of obesity,which also results from “rash or unneces-sary consumption”.
The challenge for the retail industry is tofind ways to increase the number of onioma-niacs and to make sure they are not cured.
One third of customers making unneces-sary purchases certainly helps the turnover,but imagine the effect on the bottom line ifthe percentage of those with compulsiveshoppingdisorder couldbepushedup to, say,50% or even 60%.
To do this the managers of supermarketshave devised a number of ways to keep shop-pers in the store and exposed to temptationfor as long as possible, while promoting thefiction of quick and convenient shopping.
The favourite trick is to put the newest,slowest cashiers on the express tills to frus-trate those healthy customers purchasing 10items or less. The cashiers are taught not tocount up to 10 and they are programmed toring the bell to call the supervisor as oftenas possible.
Shoppers in a hurry have already learned
it is better to join the trolleypushers in the long queues, be-cause they move fasterthrough more tills manned bymore efficient staff.
But it is a trap set for thosesuffering from compulsiveshopping disorder.
Store managers know themain impulse purchases aresweets, chips, soft drinks, choc-olates and magazines. Theyhave also noticed smart shop-pers, like women with smallchildren, know how to avoidthe aisles where these tempt-
ing goodies are on display.So, to deal with the oniomaniacs and take
revenge on the smart shoppers, they havecreated, in the name of improved service, anew system which funnels customersthrough a single queue towards a battery oftills regulated by a ghost voice which an-nounces “teller number 27” – or whatever.
The system produces nice long queues andthe stores take advantage by lining the routeof these processions with shelves stackedwith sweets, cold drinks, chips, chocolates(the imported, highmark-upkinds), nuts andother tempting treats you avoided in thestore.
Pity the young mother trying to drag twoscreaming pre-schoolers through this valleyof temptation! In a state of acute embarrass-ment, she really has no option but to bribethe little monsters with sweet things.
And so the young are corrupted while theresolve of those on diet is sabotaged and thehealth of the nation is undermined. Is it anywonder that the world has an obesity prob-lem?
But, hey, the disease is good for the bottomline and what could be more important thanthat?
IN THE report “New Zuma painting: but isit art?” (People’s Post, 4 September) the photoof reader Luqmaan Timmwas inadvertently
placed with the incorrect quote.People’s Post regrets the error and apolo-
gises for any inconvenience.
Bikers with a messageWITH breast cancer as the common de-nominator, a group of women are mount-ing motorbikes to spread the messagethat cancer can be beaten.
Riding under the banner of Journey ofHope, the women will this year have asa themeCheck, Know, Prevent = Survival.People’s Post is the media partner for
Journey of Hope.KathyMalherbe, the spokesperson and
herself a cancer survivor, says: “The bur-den of breast cancer in South Africa is onthe increase. Many women and men donot receive adequate care for the diseasebecause of lack of access and low levelsof awareness.Unlessmedical care, educa-tion and screening practices are im-proved, breast cancer mortality rates areprojected to keep increasing.”
Now it its fifth year, the NPO Journeyof Hope continues to educate people andcreate awareness of breast cancer, the im-portance of early detection and providingsupport to those affected by the disease.
The annual bike ride – from Friday 5to Sunday 14 October across regions ofSouth Africa – aims to educate the publicand de-mystifying the idea that only mid-dle-aged women are prone to breast can-cer. The 16 breast cancer survivors fromall walks of life will embark on reachingrural communities by ridingmotorcyclesfrom Pretoria to Bethlehem, focusing onareas in the eastern Free State then head-ing through the KZN Midlands and end-ing at Ushaka Marine World in Durban– thus reaching outlying communitiesand educating them about breast cancer.
FOR THE CAUSE:Kathy Malherbe,Journey of Hopespokesperson, isone of the participants in bike ride.

FINALLY WE HAVE THIS
GREAT MAN OF POWER
Hello readers, my name is Pastor Phillip, a
leader of a congregation in the Western cape. I
thank God for giving us the wisdom and faith
and also protecting us in this harsh world and
protecting ourfamilies and loved ones. I am
writing in reaction to some fellow Christians
who react negatively towards our fellow
brothers and sisters who in one way or the
other are healing people though spiritually or
traditinally. We should appreciate the work
being done by all of us either spritually or
traditionally. In this case I am specifically
talking about Dr Ezera, who is a true spiritual
and traditionlist. There is nothing wrong with
his work. He has changed people’s lives
throughout the world hes has brought our
sisters and brothers from low levels to become
respected citizens. He has brought men and
women who were drug addicts, drukards and
prostitutes to find purpose in there lives of
which many had failed to heal them.
Dr Ezera has been to many community
centres talking to the destitute and donating to
communities that are struggling and suffering
and trying to empower these communities
and giving courage to the homeless and
desparate respectively. He moves from area to
area praying and donating to the sick.
Healers are very important but sometimes
the Lord sends people like Dr Ezera to deliver
us in this harsh world and we should
acknowledge his presence and the power he
has.
Therefore say to Dr Ezera, please keep up
the good work and do not let the words of
anyone deter you form your course let your
courage and intelligence help more people.

Countdown to surfing festCountdownCountdown toto surfingsurfing festfestPAUL BOTHA
CREATED in 2007 by Kommetjie-basedKahuna Promotions, the EarthwaveBeach Festival showcases the broad ap-peal of the beach and surfing lifestyle,promotes environmental awareness andsustainable lifestyle options that reduceour impact on climate change and raisesawareness and funds for worthy causes.
Building on the interest generated byworld record attempts, the annual festivalhas grown into a two-day multi-sport eventthat attracts crowds of participants and spec-tators to Muizenberg Beach, recently ac-knowledged by National Geographic as oneof the 20 top surfing towns on the planet.
This year the BOS Earthwave Beach Festi-val is scheduled for the weekend Saturday 29and Sunday 30 September, and will featuremultiple world record attempts for the firsttime.
Not onlywill hundreds of local surfers pad-dle out on the Sunday to try and break theGuinnessWorld Record for the “most surfersriding the same wave” – currently 110 set atEarthwave 2009 – but they will also attemptto set a new record for the “longest line ofsurfboards on a beach” the Saturday.
The record-breaking attempts take place
alongside the Surf Emporium WP Inter-Schools Championships, the New BalanceWP Longboard Champs and the exciting newSimilasan Tandem Surfing Championships,where a man and a woman perform trickswhile riding the same surfboard.
There is also the Coreban SUP Classic forStand Up Paddleboards and Surfskis, theBOS Dig for Gold treasure hunt, the People’sPost touch rugby tournament and free testingfor iron and glucose levels at the SpatoneFirst Aid Tent.
Exhibits and presentations by experts onenvironmental awareness and skincare arestaged in the giant marquee along with fund-raising for the Shark Spotters and the Sun-flower Fund. Demos of the latest Land Pad-ding and SUP equipment, free learn to surflessons, beach cleanups, and heaps of givea-ways and lucky draws will take place on thebeach.
And there will be Earthwave parties atRafikis in the city andBrassBell inKalkBay,where the official results of the world recordattempts will be announced on the Saturdayand Sunday evenings.

RACE organisers of the second ARD AthleticClub 3 Vlei Race, taking place in Grassy Parkon Sunday, have promised it will be just as“fast and scenic” as the first.The run, which follows a course past
Rondevlei, Zeekoevlei and Princess Vlei, washosted for the first time last year.Adburagmaan Jacobs, a member of the
club’s executive committee, says the locationwas selected to educate people about the ar-ea’s natural beauty and promote road run-ning.“Grassy Park has not hosted a major race
and, because we are based in Grassy Park,last yearwe decided to host a race here,” saysJacobs.“That was the essential driver – to expose
the greaterGrassyParkarea to road running.We also want to expose the participants and
the community to the importance of the wet-lands in the area.”ARD AC was formed in 2000 and has made
Grassy Park its home since then.Although the routewill be exactly the same
as last year, returning participants can ex-pect several surprises.Anyone who finishes the 10km race in 60
minutes or less will be the lucky recipient ofa wooden shield embossed with a medal,while everyone else who takes part will re-ceive a normal medal.Prizes worth R25 000 and spot prizes will be
up for grabs.The first five finishers in the six age group
categories will win between R50 and R500,while the first team to cross the finish line
will win R200.One lucky team of ten runners also stands
the chance to win R2 000 and trophy, in theAbsolute Eyecare Club Challenge.Teams from schools or any club, besides
running clubs, will be legible for this prizeof the first team to cross the line.Jacobs adds the changeshave been institut-
ed to help grow the sport inhistorically disad-vantaged areas.“From a fitness perspective, road running
is one of the fastest growing sports in theWestern Cape. It has really caught on in thepreviously disadvantaged areas and I thinkwe need to encourage that more,” commentsJacobs.“I think we need to expose our youth to
sport, and road running in particular, there-forewe have this club challenge as part of ourrace. We want to encourage schools andclubs, to take part.”Runners can take part in either the 10km
race or 5km fun run, which will start and fin-ish at Fairmount High School.Registration will take place at Sportman’s
Warehouse in Rondebosch on Friday 14 Sep-tember from 15:00 to 18:00 and Saturday 15September from 10:00 to 17:00, at Sportman’sWarehouse in Canal Walk on Friday 14 Sep-tember from 15:00 to 20:30 and Saturday 15September from 10:00 to 18:00 or at the schoolon race day from 05:00 until 15minutes beforethe start of the race.The first 800 entrantswill all receive goodie
bags.For more information call Nasrullah Enus

Du Pont crowned MMA championDuDu PontPont crownedcrowned MMAMMA championchampionLIAM MOSES
CHRIS DU PONT was crownedCape Fight League light heav-yweight champion after beat-ing Craig Fourie at the Wyn-berg Military base on Satur-day.
DuPont, who trains at Observ-atory gym Phoenix Muay Thaiand MMA, beat his Durban-based opponent by technicalknockout just minutes into thefirst round.Both fighters came out of their
corners swinging, but Du Pontsoon fell back on to his wrestlingskills, searching for an opportu-nity to take the contest to theground.After initially spending some
timewith his back to the ground,Du Pont wrestled his way into afull mount and let loose a flurryof punches.After the fight Du Pont said
out-grappling his larger oppo-nent was always his tactic. “I’mfeeling good; I’m feeling fit. Icould have gone on. I stuck to thegame plan and everything wentwell,” said Du Pont.“The game plan was to stick
and move, out-wrestle him, gethim to the ground and use mydominant wrestling to win thefight.”ThevictorywasonlyDuPont’s
second in a professional fight,having won his first at the inau-gural CapeFight League event inFebruary.He expected Fourie, a more ex-
perienced fighter with a reputa-tion as a heavy hitter, to pack
more a punch. “I thought he wasgoing to hit a lot hard because ofhis stature.Hehit quitehard, butI was able to wear it,” comment-ed Du Pont.“I took two big knees and I was
able to wear those too. I just keptlooking for the take-down. I pur-sued it and I got it.”The newly crowned king of the
cage laid down a challenge to allMMA fighters to try to take histitle.The 13-contest fight card pro-
duced several other moments ofaction, as amateurs and profes-sionals from around the countrybattled it out.It started with a professional
K1 contest between Thaiholicsfighter Wade Hammond andPanther MMA’s Mbouyi Adeba.The fightwent the full distance
and a tie-breaker round wasneeded to establish a winner af-ter the third round, with thefighters dead-locked on the sameamount of points. Adeba waseventually crowned as the win-ner after knocking down his op-ponent twice in the fourth round.In the evening’s other profes-
sional K1 fights, TakedownMMA’s Lucky Mokate and Nce-do Gomba of Phoenix fought outa draw, while Cristiano Ndom-bassey knocked out Phoenixfighter Kevin Pheko in a gruel-ling contest.The fight pitted Pheko’s ortho-
dox Muay Thai style againstNdombassey’s powerful punch-es. Pheko dominated the contestwith his stinging low kicks, buteventually succumbed to a pow-erful left from Ndombassey.

AFTER fighting their way through a gru-elling play-off stage, 13 teamshave finallybooked their places in the Engen Knock-out Challenge finals.
Sevenof those 13 sidesqualifiedbywinningtheir groups, and they will be joined in thefinals by the sixthbest runners-up in theplay-off stages of the competition.The other three places at the tournament
proper defending champions Ajax CapeTown, PSL newcomers Chippa United andhost team Engen Santos.Bayhill United were one of the last sides to
seal their passage to the finals, finishing atthe top of group four after recording a winand a draw in their two games.The Mitchell’s Plain team drew 1-1 with
Greenwood Athletic in their opening fixtureand secured a narrow victory over BluegumUnited last Thursday.Adriaan Jansen, the team’s coach, was re-
lieved his side had qualified, blaming theiruninspired performance on a lack of concen-tration.“I think we could have done much better.
I know we trained hard. But there’s pressureon the boys, because they know what thegame is all about. I’m not happywith the foot-ball they played, but I am very happy withthe result,” says Jansen.Bayhill opened the scoringafter only 30 sec-
onds, when striker Imraan Khan’s misdirect-ed crosswas fumbled into the net byBluegumgoalkeeper Mitch Lingeveldt.They made several more visits into the fi-
nal third, but seldommanaged to create clear-cut chances and did not take goal-scoring op-
portunities which came their way.Despite dominating the game, Bayhill were
unable tomake their possessionand territorycount, and the game finished 1-0.Jansen ruled out the possibility that his
playersmayhave lost focus because of theun-familiar time of the fixture and said he wasconfident they could win the competition.“This atmosphere is actually conducive to
them playing good football. They go throughthe motions on a Saturday or Sunday after-noon,” says Jansen.“This is something new, because they see
it on TV; they see the professionals playingat night. This is good for them, because itgives them a little bit of a taste of that.In other fixtures on Thursday evening,
Stars of Africa beat Athlone side JamestownUnited 1-0,whileVascodaGamabeatAshfordAthletic 2-0.
The finals of the Engen Knockout Chal-lenge will take place at the Stephen ReaganSports Complex in Mitchell’s Plain from Fri-day 28 to Sunday 30 September.The 16 teams who will play in the finals of
