SPANKING: STILL A GOOD IDEA?
To spare the rod...NADINE MOODIE
Should children be spanked or not? Theissue has brought civil society and thenational social development depart-
ment to the discussion table.At issue is whether it should be illegal for
parents to spank their children.This controversial discussion point has
raised questions among parents, religiousgroups and organisations.Spokesperson for the Department of So-
cial Development Lumka Oliphant says nobill has been drafted.“This has just been a discussion docu-
ment between organisations advocatingchildren’s rights, the University of Pretoriaand the department,” Oliphant says.“We need to protect our children and also
advise parents on how to discipline chil-dren. We don’t know where this discussiondocument will go (or) if it will become adraft bill and take the legal route.”Parents themselves raise salient points
on the matter.
All about disciplineParentEbrahimDavids says at times chil-
dren need a hiding to give them a warning,because that’s how they become obedient.A parent, who wishes to remain anony-
mous, says the government can’t take awayparental rights to discipline their children.“What will happen when government
takes away our rights to discipline our ownchildren?” she asks. “Times have changedso much and discipline has left our society,because parents can no longer reprimandneighbours’ children.”A first-timemother, whowants to remain
unnamed, says she always knew she’d haveto discipline her children with a hiding.“Parents should not give up their rights
to discipline children; what will happenwhen these children grow older and are dis-
respectful? Schools already have no disci-pline. We can’t afford to lose discipline inour homes, too,” she fumes.
Parental rights lostErrol Naidoo, CEO of the Family Policy
Institute, says his organisation opposes thenotion, because government does not havethe right to tell parents how to raise theirchildren.“There’s a big difference between abuse
and child discipline, and we need more dis-cipline in schools and in our country,” hesays. “Spanking a child will not harm them;it’s a corrective measure, while hitting toabuse is not discipline. Family is the mostimportant unit in society and we need tostrengthen it. At themoment we have an ill-disciplined government telling familieshow to raise children. No government hasthe right to do so.”SheikhRiadFataar agrees, saying no gov-
ernment has the right to take away parents’rights to discipline a child.“Islam allows parents to discipline chil-
dren with a light beating, which constitutesas discipline. If you hit your child in a man-ner which breaks bones and causes blood toflow, then it’s abuse. The character andmorals of society is going down because ofa lack of discipline,” he says.
‘Not a quick fix’But Patric Solomons, director of chil-
dren’s rights organisation Molo Songololo,says corporal punishment should be abol-ished because parents have carte blancheand often exercise forms of disciplinewhichconstitutes physical and emotional abuse.“Throwing objects at children is a form
of physical abuse. Forcing them to stand indark corners is a cruel form of emotionalpunishment; and we need to look at waysof reducing it,” he says.“We’ve managed to abolish abuse be-
tween adults. Why can’t we do the same forchildren?Weneed a combination of supportfor children and parents who need to learnto cope. Parents often say: ‘I got beaten andlook at how I turned out?’ Discipline doesnot instill values, good behaviour, under-standing and consequences.”Solomons says parents need to set posi-
tive values and a framework for children,because teenagers start acting violentwhenthey see their parents failing to practicewhat they preach.“Parents have a false sense of obedience
and try to silence children by using acts ofviolence, which is a quick fix and doesn’tguarantee the child won’t do it again. Thesolution is for children to learn respectthrough observation and to extend the re-course from women to children. Theyshould also be able to lay a complaint whicha court should investigate to ensure properjustice is served,” he says.
Different strokesVenecia Barries, director of The Parent
Centre, says her organisation does notagree with physical punishment. Childrenneed discipline, love and boundaries, shesays.“Parents need to institute pro-active
measures when disciplining their children,such as moving things which could breakout of a toddler’s way and creating conse-quences like taking away older children’scellphones. Different corrective measureswork for different children,” she says.Barries says many children are raised
without their parents inflicting pain. “ Par-ents are relying on physical punishment be-cause it’s their natural instinct.”She says children will test the limits and
parents need to set boundaries.V Do you spank your child as a form of discipline?Is it effective? Starting with the word “Post” SMS yourcomments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

OTTERY: UNDERTAKING TO DEMOLISH BUILDING
Property a persistent pestTAURIQ HASSEN
@TauriqHassen
The dire state of an Ottery property haslocals fearing the worse.Already having been turned into the
new illegal dumping hotspot, fears are rifethat the property on the corner ofBamboesv-lei and Gorlay roads is a fire hazard.Keith Blake, Ottery resident and member
of the Lansdowne Community Police Forum(CPF), says the lives of the people using theservices of neighbouring businesses are ingrave danger.“This building poses major threats to this
community, because of the amount of rub-bish that is being collected inside that place.There are items that could catch fire veryquickly and could cause lots of damage,” hesays.Blake since decided to report the dangers
surrounding the property to the City of CapeTown, hoping for immediate attention to betaken.Due to growing fears, the property was re-
cently inspected by the City’s of Fire andEmergency Services on Tuesday 8 Octoberleading to a notice being served to the Rey-nolds Park Body Corporate.The inspection revealed the property had
been accumulating dirt and is definitely afire hazard, putting the community at risk.Last week, the notice which was posted
around the building, requested the ownersto remove the refuse congestion from theproperty.WhenPeople’s Post arrived at the property
twodays later, the filthwas still found in andaround the property.According to correspondence to the City
from the Reynolds Park Body Corporate,
several ways to securing the property hasbeen attempted, “but to no avail”. The letterconfirms that the property has “become adumping ground for refuse and is an eyesoreand a fire hazard”. “The doors keep gettingbroken open and we have had to evict squat-ters on more than one occasion, as well asspending money having the area cleared onseveral occasions,” the letter reads.“We, therefore, intend demolishing the of-
fending building and paving the area withasphalt.” Owner of a nearby mechanicalshop, William Boyd, says if a fire shouldbreak out, lots of damage can be expected,as most of the shop use highly flammableproducts.“This issue might seem as if people are
complaining about nothing, but the realityis that if a fire does start,we all are in troubleand could lose our businesses and maybeeven our lives,” he says.Boyd points out that it is mostly vagrants
dumping rubbish at the spot. “There is notjust one person responsible for the state ofthat property, there are many people, be-cause you see different faces comingthrough here and all of them just dump theirthings left, right and centre,” he adds.

when dignitaries, provincial educationminister Donald Grant, former pupils, com-munity leaders and teachers attended a for-mal function to officially open the hall.Grant is looking forward to the hall be-
coming an “exciting new hub for the schooland Pelican Park community”.Headds: “Thenewupgradewill definitely
benefit education at the school. New build-ings or equipment always add value to theschool.”Pelican Park Primary School’s academic
record speaks for itself as they are knownfor “excelling well above the circuit”.Grant explains the school has been dou-
bling the provincial average of the annualpass rate. It is also one of three schools tohave been awarded for the greatest im-provement in languages.“The school can quite deservedly cele-
brate this new school hall, because theyhave been excelling on the academic front,”Grant says.Pupils were excited as they lined up for
their first assembly in the school hall.Taib Rais from Mitchell’s Plain says the
building does not only look good, but alsofits in nicely with the school. “We are veryhappy that we have a school hall now anda really nice one also. Assembly time willbe so much more interesting,” he laughs.Rais is especially excited that Physical
Education will no longer be cancelled onrainy days as the new hall will be used.Dean Topass from Schaapkraal realises
what the fuss is over the new school hall is.“We have been watching them build thishall for a very long time and to finally seeit finished, it looks really nice,” he says.

first to make the connection between the
Swaeltjie kites he saw at the annual CapeTown International Kite Festival and tradi-tional kites he had seen in Indonesia andMalaysia.This historical aspect ties in beautifully

FEES: NEW STRUCTURE
New plan for poor schoolsNADINE MOODIE
@nadinemoodie1
Pupils attending school in lower incomeareas may soon receive a free educa-tion.
More than 200 impoverished schoolsacross the province have been offered theopportunity to apply to become a no-feeschool from next year.Themove is expected to significantly alle-
viate the funding challenges of facilitiesserving poorer communities and will re-duce the burden of trying to obtain and col-lect school fees.Every year thousands of parents at fee
payingpublic schools either fail to pay theirschool fees or have to apply for fee exemp-tion, says provincial education ministerDonald Grant.“The reality is that we are living in tough
economic times and, in this kind of climate,many parents simply cannot afford to paytheir school fees, Grant says.“This ultimately affects some schools’ in-
come and places a burden on the schoolmanagement to find the funds necessary topay for services, equipment andmaterials.”Despite initiatives such as financial com-
pensation, the department continues to re-ceive numerous pleas from schools regard-ing the nationally prescribed quintile sys-tem, Grant says.All public schools are categorised into
five groups, called quintiles, largely for pur-poses of the allocation of financial resourc-es.Quintile one is the poorest quintile, while
quintile five is the least poor.These poverty rankings are determined
nationally according to the poverty of thecommunity around the school, as well ascertain infrastructural factors.Many schools believe they have been
ranked inappropriately and have asked fortheir quintile status to be changed.Education minister Angie Motshekga
last month announced the department wasplanning to do away with the quintile sys-tem in favour of a two-category system.Until the changes to the current quintile
system become a reality, schools that cur-rently charge annual school fees of R400 orless may apply to become no-fee schools.TerrenceKlassen, principal atFairmount
High School, says the inequality gap in edu-cation is increasing and parents need tospeak out.“We are in quintile five and we’re servic-
ing pupils from poor communities,” hesays.“The bulk of our pupils come from out-
side Grassy Park, because residents nolonger send their children to schools in thearea. The department needs to stipulate thecriteria to apply to be a quintile one school,as we currently only receive in 29% of ourfees, of which we still have to pay salariesof teachers in governing body posts.”Zeekoevlei Primary School principalWil-
ma Buckton is ecstatic after she receivedconfirmation that the school has made thelist of no-fee paying schools for next year.She was informed of the development af-
ter she contacted the provincial Depart-ment of Education.“This is will really help us, as parents
can’t pay school fees or support our fund-raising initiatives due to the high level ofunemployment in the community,” Buck-tion says.

sure that pupils at her school enjoy themag-ic of reading and stories outside classroom.Felicia Watson attended a teacher train-ing session runbyNal’ibali, anational cam-paign promoting reading for enjoyment,which was started at the Kannemeyer Pri-mary School Reading Club born from herpassion for literacy.She now meets with 63 pupils to help en-courage and grow the same passion everyWednesday afternoon.Watson says her motivation is watchingher children grow into literate members ofsociety, who enjoy writing and reading andcan use the skills they learn from stories.“Literacy has a major role in developingcommunities. The child hears words andsounds from themother’s womb,” she says.“Continuing that experience gives thema sense of belonging. It helps them to makesense of what is happening in and around
them. Literacy is a communication tool.”Watson, together with Western CapeNal’ibali Cluster mentor, David Jeffery,has developed an innovative response tothe lack of books – a borrowing system.Children may borrow books from thereading club, like at a library.During the weekly reading club sessions,the pupils write poetry, read and play wordgames developed by the Project for theStudy ofAlternativeEducation inSouthAf-rica, a co-founder of theNal’ibali campaign.“I’ve seen children becoming interestedin reading because I read aloud to themeve-ry day,” Watson says.“They are confident speaking to an audi-ence, theymake connections, and they con-fidently choose different texts to read. Theywill be reading role models to others,” shesays.V Those wanting to get reading, storytelling or want-ing to set up their own reading clubs, can visit theNal’ibali website www.nalibali.org or the Nal’ibali mo-bisite: www.nalibali.mobi.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE: STEMMING THE TIDE OF REPEAT OFFENDERS
Alternative ways to changing criminalsNICOLE MCCAIN AND TAMMY PETERSEN
“Prisons don’t reform people.”This is the assessment of Richard
Griggs, a monitoring and evalua-
tion specialist in criminal justice.Former inmates and organisations agree,
claiming the cells arewherehardenedcrimi-nal are bred.The National Institute for Crime Preven-
tion and the Reintegration of Offenders(Nicro) has been championing a five-yearproject for non-custodial sentencing, whichinvolves an alternative to imprisonment.And they believe their solution works.The current system doesn’t ask why you
committed the crime, Griggs argues.“You end up in jail when all you need are
anger management classes. This pro-gramme works. People think we’re waitingfor solutions, but we already have one. Thisprogrammeanalyses the problemand solvesit.”
Community based sentencesSince the project’s launch, 6 000 prisoners
have been removed from the system throughnon-custodial sentencing.Nicro project manager Regan Jules-Mac-
quet says the organisation renders this serv-ice by working closely with judicial officerssuch as magistrates.“Instead of being sent to prison, lower-risk
offenders are sentenced to a community-based sentence,” she explains.Only lower-risk offenders are suitable for
the sentencing.The criminal is assessed and recommend-
ed to be part of the programme.
Battle behind barsJohnBower spent three years behind bars
for assault after being involved in a barbrawl in 1998.He was only 18.
“I walked into jail a stupid teenager andcame out a dangerous man,” he recalls.“In the cells, Imixedwith rapists andmur-
derers, who preyed on laaities like me whothought they were cool but where just kidstrying to act grown up.”Every day behind bars is a battle to stay
alive, Bower continues.“I was in jail for three weeks when I killed
amanwho tried to rapeme. My life changedthat day. I wasn’t a killer, but I had some-one’s blood on my hands. I was a naughtychild who needed to be disciplined, but in-stead I was fighting for my life surroundedby people who thought absolutely nothing ofsnapping your neck for fun.”When he was released in 2001, he was al-
ready a member of the 26s and practisedwhat he learnt in the cells on the streets.“It was the only life I had known for three
years. I was never remotely interested ingangs but behind bars, it’s who you knowthat keeps you alive.”After being stabbed twice and nearly
killed in a drive-by shooting, Bowers turnedhis life around.“I became involved in church activities
and working with the youth. I am an exam-ple ofwhat prison life does to you.AndwhileI know I had to pay for my crimes, going tojail was the worst thing that ever happenedto me,” he maintains.“Behind bars, you don’t learn how to live
a crime-free life. You learn how to do evenworse and not get caught.”
Changing behaviourJules-Macquet says not only are offenders
kept out of prison where they are exposedto hardened criminals, but they also takepart in behavioural courses.“Prison is not necessary for all offenders.
Many offenders can serve their sentence inthe community, while having access tomuch-needed behaviour change services.Prison is an environment not especially con-ducive to rehabilitation and reintegration ofoffenders,” she argues.“We believe prison should be reserved for
higher-risk offenders and that lower-risk of-fenders can be dealt with via non-custodialsentencing.”The organisation’s programme looks at
what caused the offender to commit thecrime in the first place and works to alterit.“Unless the criminal thinking patterns
and behaviours are changed, there will al-ways be the likelihood of recidivism. If weare to fight crime in a meaningful way, wecannot simply punish people without ad-dressing their behaviours and thinking pat-terns.”Griggs says it’s only amatter of having the
programme implemented nationwide.After evaluating the programme, he in-
sists the numbers speak for themselves.“Around 50%of the normal prison popula-
tionwill re-offend. ButwithNicro’s non-cus-todial sentencing, only 2% re-offend.”The cost of removing prisoners from the
system should be incentive alone to imple-ment the programme at every court in thecountry, he adds.In addition, the offender can still support
their family during their sentence, whichhelps alleviate poverty.

Surfing development and transformation isset to receive a boost when the sixth annualBOS Earthwave Beach Festival takes placethis weekend.
The festival will feature several water-sport competitions, lifestyle events and en-tertainment. People’s Post is the print me-dia sponsor of the event.
However, the most important event couldbe the Muizenberg Outreach Surfing Chal-lenge, which will see four different pro-grammes battle it out in the waves at Mui-zenberg Beach. Event organiser Paul Bothasays he hopes the event will offer the pro-grammes a helping hand.
“We want to involve the kids in the festi-val. As the programmes are doing a greatjob, we want to give them something for theguys to strive towards,” Botha says.
“This is part and parcel of what we wantat the festival; we want to make it an inclu-sive festival. We have formalised it so thatthe organisations have their own event andthey can win prizes.”
The organisations which will participatein the Challenge are Isiqalo, the Surf ShackOutreach Programme, the MuizenbergBeach Club and Dreams to Reality.
All four organisations aim to assistyouths from disadvantaged communitiesthrough surfing.
The tournament will feature two teamsfrom each organisation competing in twoheats of four teams each. Four teams willthen advance to two hour-long semi-finalsand the competition will climax in a hour-long final. The event is sponsored and sup-ported by Surfing South Africa (SSA).
SSA general manager Robin de Kock saysthe event fits in with SSA’s goal of trans-forming the sport. “Those organisations in-volved in the Challenge are all doing a goodjob, trying to introduce young surfers fromdisadvantaged backgrounds into thesport,” De Kock says.
“Our job is to support outreach organisa-tions involved in the sport.”
De Kock adds transforming the sport isone of organisation’s key goals.
“Its always been a focus; we have been in-volved with those programmes for sometime now. It’s something that we see as ben-efiting surfing. We want to transform thesport and introduce children from margin-alised and disadvantaged backgrounds.”
Earthwave will also see several schoolteams head to Muizenberg for the WesternCape Inter-schools Surfing Tournament.
The 12 participating schools will go head-to-head in hopes of bagging some of theR10 000 in prizes.
“This year we have invited schools fromBoland to join us as well,” Botha says.
Each team will have five members.The festival will also feature skateboard-
ing and stand-up paddling competitionsand an attempt to break the Guiness WorldRecord for the most surfers riding a singlewave. An attempt to break the record forthe longest game of touch rugby was alsoset to take place, but has now been can-celled. However, the People’s Post TouchRugby Tournament will still take place.
The BOS Earthwave Beach Festival willtake place at Muizenberg Beach from 08:00on Saturday 19 to 14:00 on Sunday 20 Octo-ber.V Contact Kahuna Promotions on (021) 783 4965 [email protected] for further information.

Schools to swing innew baseball leagueLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
Athlone Athletics Baseball Clubhas founded a initiative aimedat growing the sport and devel-
oping players.Athletics have partnered with the
City of Cape Town’s Department ofCultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) toform a league which will see five sur-rounding primary schools partici-pate.
Sean Campbell, schools develop-ment officer for A’s, says the leaguewill help to swell the club’s juniorranks.
“Our juniors come from schools, soour reasoning for running the leagueon a Wednesday is to have them trainat the club on a Friday and play ona Saturday,” he says.
“We don’t only want the better play-ers; we want all the players to come.We want to go to the schools to prac-tice to draw interest.
“To make our club sustainable, we get in-volved in schools’ sport so that other kids willcome and join.”
The schools involved in the league areBridgeville, Norma Road, Rylands, Surreyand Vanguard primary schools.
A’s will provide coaching at Vanguard,Surrey and Norma Road, while Bridgevilleand Surrey have full time coaches.
The league was formed after Bridgevillewas selected as a focus school for baseball,due to the facilities in and popularity of thesport in the Athlone area.
A’s were called on to assist; the schoolsleague is the result.
Paul Hendricks, DCAS director of sport de-velopment, says the league forms part of theCity’s Mass Participation, Opportunity andAccess, Development and Growth (MOD)Centre programme.
“If we get little leagues all over, it meanswe are taking sport to the communities andwe don't have people travelling outside oftheir areas to play sport,” he says.
“You will have kids doing something else,besides drugs and crime. We aren’t doing itto combat the crime, the idea is to give themaccess to sport and, as a result, they will natu-rally stay away from issues which will havenegative impact on them.”
The league will feature two rounds ofmatches, with the first round taking placeuntil November and the second kicking offin February.
DCAS has funded the league, with equip-ment and uniforms being provided for theschools.
The City has also started a similar pro-gramme in Lavender Hill, with the formationof Lavender Hill Softball Club and a leaguebeing formed with the assistance of Devon-shire Rover Softball Club.
Hendricks says the City plans to imple-ment many more leagues.
“In the next two years more leagues willbe established,” he says.
“We cannot do the leagues alone though,we have to do it in partnership with estab-lished clubs; where there are no clubs, wewill assist with the establishment of clubs.”
A similar programme will soon be startedin Kensington with the Kenfac Phillies Base-ball Team playing a major role.
“Kensington High School is being rebuilt,so that is causing a bit of a challenge at themoment. The school will be reopened be-tween January and March next year and,once they open, things will be more active,”says Hendricks.V For more information on the Athlone league callMervyn Wedel on 082 859 5520.

ATTORNEYSATTORNEYSWe deal with the following matters :
Jordan Callies has shifted focus on secur-ing promotion after winning the Coca-Cola Cup on Saturday.
Callies qualified for theSafaSABRegionalLeague promotional play-offs after winningthe Rygate Local Football Association (LFA)Super League earlier this year.
Coach Anthony Barnes is confident hisside can make it into the fourth tier of SouthAfrican football after the Coke Cup victory.
“We are already there; that’s how confi-dent I am,” he says.
“We have already beaten Safa Second Di-vision and SAB League teams in the CokeCup this year.”
Callies knocked out several semi-profes-sional sides on their way to the final, includ-ing the Salt River Blackpool and MilanoUnited Second Division teams.
Callies were also losing finalists in theRygate LFA Knockout Tournament thisyear.
Barnes says the team is one step awayfrom making it a perfect season.
“We achieved our objectives. I said wewould win the league and the Coke Cup, andthe next one is the SAB League play-offs,”he says.
Barnes may be confident, but his playerswill need to improve in several areas if theyare to continue their climb up the profes-sional football ladder.
Callies started the Coke Cup final withverve and intensity and raced to a 3-0 leadwithin 30 minutes.
Reagon Brander stole the lead after justtwo minutes, Shafiek Mally doubled thescore just five minutes later and KashiefAlba made it 3-0 in the 25th minute.
But instead of knocking the wind out ofSporting United, the third goal caused Cal-lies to slack off and lose concentration.
Ebrahim Davids pulled a goal back forSporting late in the second half and strucktwice more in the 30th and 35th minutes tolevel the scores.
The equaliser forced Callies to wake up,as they reclaimed the lead through the bootof Showen Sturein in the dying minutes ofthe game.
Barnes was happy with the performancedespite the poor defensive display.
“At the end of the day it was about whowanted it more and we were hungrier. The
guys performed well,” he says.“The plan was to secure the game in the
first 15 minutes through all-out attack, butwe are not used to playing on a field this
heavy. They are used to playing on a hardsurface, so they had a lot of cramps.”
Jordan Callies will face off against theleaguewinners from the otherLFA’s affiliat-
ed to Safa Cape Town in the promotion play-offs.
The date of the play-offs havenot been con-firmed.
