NEW HORIZONS
Fencing off crimeCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The privilege of owning a new homeshould impart feelings of joy and ecsta-sy.
But this is not the case for the Thompsonfamily who live in the New Horizons Hous-ing Project in Pelican Park.
The family, who moved into their home afew months ago, have received nothing butgrief since they moved into their new home.
Leigh Thompson, who lives with hermother and two sisters in the house, whichborders on Strandfontein Road, says theproperty has been plagued by vandals whoscribble markings on their outside walls.
“The group of boys that hang outside ourhouse apparently have gang affiliations aswell so they come and stand in our yard.They then smoke dagga and tik, do all sortsof ill activities on our property which in-cludes playing loud music,” she says.
“I am very upset because this is done tomy property when I am not home during theday and when my family is at work and atschool. I am disgusted with the lack of re-spect by the people living in my road becausethey know who the people are but they arescared of them. No one wants to talk becausethey say the people are gangsters and theyare on tik.”
Thompson has since liaised with the Cityof Cape Town to get a solution to her problembut none of the avenues she has exploredhave delivered positive results.
“I have contacted the City numerous timebut they just never get back to me. It’s anuphill battle and in the meantime we arestuck with this problem,” she vents.
Plights to the local police station have alsobeen unsuccessful due to the family “nothaving evidence or names of the culprits”.
“Our house has no perimeter fencing sopeople have free access to our property. Peo-ple are afraid to speak up because the groupof boys are affiliated to gangs in the area,”Thompson says.
One unsavoury incident the family had todeal with was when Thompson returnedhome from work on Friday 14 November.
“When I got home, I found that someonehad defecated next to our house and smearedit on our walls,” she says.

ROAD SAFETY
Call to keep children safeMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
C ar seats for infants are nolonger an option.
With amendments to theNational Road Traffic Act (NRTA)parents and caregivers are nowforced to ensure children agedfrom 0 to three are buckled up.
An announcement on the amend-ments was made by provincialtransport minister Donald Grantlast week where he made an appealto parents to buckle young chil-dren in appropriate car seats andprotect them from horrific inju-ries.
LawIn a statement, Grant explains
the amendments were promulgat-ed on Friday 31 October.
He highlights the changes whichstipulate that all children fromnewborns to the age of three haveto be transported in appropriatechild seats when travelling in pri-vate vehicles.
Alida Jones, former Fish Hoekresident and founder of Drive MoreSafely, is excited about the amend-ments and has spent several yearslobbying for the changes.
She explains after assisting at anaccident scene on the N1 in 2011where a young child had died, shestudied the Act to see what the stip-ulations were regarding car seats.
“I noticed that there was nothingto ensure that young children werebuckled up and it stated that chil-dren three and older should be in
a car seat if available,” she ex-plains.
Jones says she was concernedand started lobbying for the law tobe changed.
She is happy about the changesbut questions the enforcementthereof. According to the state-ment the penalty for not obeyingthis new rule has not yet been de-termined.
This will be based on a submis-sion of recommendation to thechief magistrates of different dis-tricts for consideration and ap-proval. “Recommendations willneed to be made in respect of allnew offences that have been creat-ed by these amended regulations,”Grant adds.
FatalitiesGrant explains an analysis con-
ducted by Safely Home, using au-dited fatality data from the Foren-sic Pathology Services of the pro-vincial health department, showedthe majority of the bodies of youngchildren who died as passengers inroad crashes were recovered out-side or under the vehicle. “Thepresence of the body outside the ve-hicle is a near-certain indicatorthat the child was not restrained orwas improperly restrained, as ejec-tion does not occur when an appro-priate child restraint is used,” hesays.
According to the statistics pro-vided by the department, 292 chil-dren aged from zero to 14 werekilled in accidents in the WesternCape between 2011 and 2013.
Of this total, 27 were babies agedbelow one year old and 36 werechildren aged between two andfour.
Of the 27 babies, 11 were foundoutside the vehicle and seven in-side. It is unknown where the re-maining nine were found.
Of the 36 children aged betweentwo and four, 21 were found outsidethe vehicle, 10 inside and the loca-tion of the remaining five are un-known.
Commenting on the statistics,Grant says the presence of the bodyinside the vehicle is not an exclu-sionary factor in determining ifthe child was restrained or not.
“The analysis therefore erred onthe side of caution by default,” hesays.
“The data is indicative of a mini-mum of two small children beingkilled on Western Cape roads eachmonth after being ejected from avehicle in a road crash,” he says.
Grant further explains passen-gers ejected from a crash face a75% chance of being killed due toground impact injuries and colli-sions with other objects and vehi-cles.
AwarenessIn December 2011, Jones made an
appeal to Far South residents to do-nate unused car seats to the organi-sation.
The car seats are then given amakeover and the organisation en-sures they are in working order.
Jones explains the car seats arethen given to families who need
them and the first donations weregiven in Fish Hoek in 2012.
To date they have donated morethan 4 000 car seats.
She has now appealed for par-ents and caregivers to be responsi-ble and ensure children are buck-led up.
“When you lose a child it is toolate. It best for all of us to take re-sponsibility and ensure their safe-ty,” she adds.V If you would like to donate a car seator are in need of one phone Jones on081 311 3223 or email alida@drivemoresafely.co.za

LOTUS RIVER
Bridge vandalisedCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A bridge used to cross over a canal in 4thAvenue, Lotus River has been vandal-ised and is often a place where crimi-
nal activity happens.Carolla Way Neighbourhood Watch
chairpersonNeil Jacobus says he is worriedabout the condition of the canal crossing asall barriers have been removed.“This bridge has been badly vandalised
over many months and now there are norails left. This is a huge safety risk,” Jacobussays.On occasion, Jacobus adds, he has seen
how children play around the canal area,which is situated behind a school, and pusheach other in a playful manner.“When some of these pupils make their
way home, this is part of their route. I haveseen when the canal fills with water theyplay with each other and push each other.This is a safety hazard,” he adds.According to Jacobus the crime rate has
increased in the area and the canal is oneof the hotspots.
He explains the theft of steel rails wasdone so by alleged drug addicts in the area.“They have removed the steel rails in an
attempt to get their next fix. But this is unac-ceptable because at the end of the day thecommunity suffers,” he fumes.Jacobus says he has reported the thefts to
subcouncil before but to date nothing hasbeen done.“I have alerted our ward councillor Leslie
Isaacs of the vandalised bridge but so farnothing could be done.”Mayoral Committee member for Trans-
port Brett Herron confirms they have re-ceived complaints of the bridge earlier thismonth.He says after receiving the complaint on
Monday 10 November there are plans inplace to have the bridge repaired.“The Transport for Cape Town Mainte-
nance depot has been instructed to effect re-pairs where required and to make it safe asfar as possible,” Herron says.He does, however, add the department
fears the repairs may result in repeatedtheft.“The extent of the damage, however,
would require a long-term intervention be-cause replacing the guard rails with rails ofthe same type of steel wouldmost likely leadto repeated theft.”The costs for the repairs is not known as
the department is yet to acquire the materi-als for repair, Herron adds.“We are currently not in a position to de-
termine the initial repairs andmaintenancecost yet as the materials still need to be pro-cured. Furthermore anewpedestrianbridgedesign will have to be drafted.”Herron says they have not been informed
of any pupils or children falling into the ca-nal as yet.Grassy Park police spokespersonWarrant
OfficerWynita Kleinsmith says frequent pa-trols are conducted at the canal crossings.“Whenever we see loiterers in the area we
make sure to chase them away. This thenprevents any criminal activity that maytake place at the canal or the surrounds,”Kleinsmith confirms.Community Police Forum interim chair-
person Abe Braaf says they have receivedcomplaints about the canal that was vandal-ised.
“I visited the canal and another hotspot in4th Avenue, along with the Grassy Park sta-tion commander Colonel Fana Dlamini, atthe end of October after receiving a call froma resident and businesswoman. Thewoman,who operates a business in 4th Avenue, toldus her son was robbed as he crossed thebridge. Two men accosted him and startedsearching him. They took his cellphone andmoney,” Braaf says.Her son now refuses to walk to the shop
and prefers to drive to the shop instead ashe fears for his safety, Braaf adds.It is also alleged that the canal bridge is
used as a shelter at times.“The woman says she has noticed people
sleep under the bridge. On weekends peoplecan also be seen dealing in drugs and con-suming alcohol,” Braaf says.After receiving the information, Dlamini
confirmed more police patrols will happenin the area to deter criminals.V Report any kind of metals theft to the City’s metalstheft hotline on 0800 222 771.V Do you use the canal crossing?

PARKWOOD
A big thank youCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Loud cheers for the people who add posi-tively to the community of Parkwoodwere heard on Sunday as a Thanksgiv-
ing Service was hosted by the community-based religious group Voice of Parkwood.Religious leaders, residents and various
non-government organisations rallied to-gether during the afternoon to show theirsupport to the various stakeholders work-ing together to achieve positive results inthe crime-ridden community.
The day was celebrated by starting amarch in Blackbird Avenue where a biggroup including imams, pastors, teachersand nurses marched to the Masjid as-Sabrmosque.The service was then held at the Assem-
blies of God Church.Pastor Paul Phillips, who arranged the
day’s events, says he couldn’t be happierwith the turn out at the service.“This was definitely something positive
for our community.Ourmessagewas to sayalthough we may not always have all thatwe want, we should be grateful for the littlewe do have,” he says.He adds that getting together the differ-
ent religious groups was something auspi-cious.“We were able to be a part of each others’
groups and this was something to behold.We are glad we could achieve our goal ofuniting our faith community.”Phillips says they envision to have more
follow-up programmes running into nextyear.Community Police Forum interim chair-
person Abe Braaf says the gathering at themosque was also to address crime issues inthe area.“Themarchhadamulti-faceted approach
but our main aim was to pay homage to theroleplayers inour community.Wegatheredat themosque for 10minuteswhere prayerswere also done,” he says.Braaf adds themarch aimed to form part-
nerships with the various groups in the ar-ea for a unified approach toward positivechange.“We wanted to thank all our roleplayers
for contributing positively during the year.This was the perfect opportunity to do soand it was well received,” he adds.Ward councillorMelanieArendse also at-
tended the service and only had praise forthe work done.“The gathering was just so blessed and to
have all these people together for positivechange was truly a sight to behold,” shebeams.She adds the gathering was a huge suc-
cess and hopes for many more to come asa result of it.

Housing development in full swingSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Additional homes will be added to an exist-ing housing project in Pelican Park.This after a group of 2 000 people were se-
lected as recipients of houses in a complexplanned for the area in 2012.With the first development set to be com-
pleted by next year the additional houseswill only be added after the first phase hasbeen sold or handed over, says MayoralCommitteemember forHumanSettlementsSiyabulela Mamkeli.“The normal Breaking New Ground sub-
sidised units are 40m² and close to 900 unitshave been completed to date whereas themarket and Gap houses are between 40m²to 95m² and around 400 of these units havebeen sold by the developer,” he says.Work on the homes started in January
2013. The development comprises housesthat will be sold on the open market, soldas Gap housing or handed over to the resi-dents on the City’s housing waiting list.“When doing the allocation of houses, the
housing subsidydatabasewill beused in or-der of date of application. This will entitlethosewho have been on the list for the long-est and will be accommodated first if theyqualify,” Mamkeli says.
The R340m project will see recipientsfrom Subcouncil 18 becoming the majoritybeneficiaries of the subsidised housing, hesays.Thiswill include residents on thewaiting
list from areas such as Grassy Park, LotusRiver, Zeekoevlei, Pelican Park, Strandfon-tein, Vrygrond and Seawinds with 40%comprising residents from the rest of thecity.Previously, former Mayco member for
Human Settlements Ernest Sonnenbergsaid the candidates would be selected onstandard State housing subsidy criteria(“Pelican Park development recipients se-lected”, People’s Post, 9 October 2012).Applicants must be a South African citi-
zen, 18 years or older, have dependants, thetotal household income must be less thanR3 500 a month and neither spouse musthave owned property anywhere in SouthAfrica before.In order to qualify for Gap housing, the
bond required to purchase the house needsto be affordable to households with an in-come of between R3 501 and R10 000.Planning for the development started
more than a decade ago and is expected tobe completed by the end of 2015.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your views to32516. SMSes cost R1.

PARKWOOD
‘Dump’ dramaCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The storm over a proposed waste drop-off facility in Parkwood continues un-abated as the public participation
process is still going through its first phase.People’s Post previously reported on the
facility (“Rubbish days are numbered”, 21October) which has been met with muchcontest fromthe residents inParkwoodandsurrounds.
Residents are disputing the site andstrongly oppose the facility in their com-munity, saying it is a “dump site”.
The facility, which is proposed to behoused on Prince George Drive, will be sit-uated adjacent to the Klip Road Cemetery.
At recentmeetings held at subcouncils 18and 20, a presentation was put forward byAlison Davidson from of the City of CapeTown’s Solid Waste Department.
Davidson explained the public participa-tion process started on 23 September.
Parkwood residents, however, disputethis saying they were unaware of a publicparticipation process until they read aboutit in People’s Post.
Davidson explained the public participa-tion process has been extended by a monthand will now end on Sunday 30 November.
“We have decided to extend the publicparticipation process by 30 days to get com-ment from the public as well as input frompeople who will be affected by the site.”
A second round of public participationwill be done during January or Februarybut dates are to be confirmed, she said.
She added the facility will operate fromMonday to Saturday from 08:00 until 20:00.
The site will also form part of the R300link-up.
After the presentation, councillors were
given the opportunity to pose questions re-lating to the proposed site.
Councillor Garin Cavanagh suggested aname change to the site as a result of theconflict from Parkwood residents.
“Residents from the area are upset dueto the negative connotations to the name asit is continuously referred to as the ‘Park-wood’ site.
A name change should be considered soresidents don’t feel as though they will beliving near a dump,” said Cavanagh.
Councillors in attendance agreed to thissuggestion offering Prince George DriveWaste Drop Off Facility and Walmer RoadWaste Drop Off Facility as suggestions.
Davidson said shewould take the sugges-tions back to the department for considera-tion.
Subcouncil 18 chairperson Monty Oliverexpressed concern as to why the item wasonly brought to council “at such a maturestage”.
“We feel the subcouncil was disregardedin this process and it is unfair that this itemonly appears on our desks now. The com-munity is infuriated and wanted answersfrom us,” he said.
Ward 66 councillor Melanie Arendsequestioned which other sites were visitedduring the identification process.
“We hear other sites were visited and wewould like to know where these sites are.
“Our biggest problem remains that coun-cillors were not informed about this facili-ty and the community was uninformed,”Arendse said.
Davidson noted a suggestion from coun-cillors that a site visit should be arrangedto a similar site where a select few commu-nitymembers can go to and the functionali-ty of the site be explained so they may re-port back to the community.

INSPIRATIONAL
Cooking forthe communityCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
In the lead up to the festiveseason and holidaybreaks, everyone is gear-
ingup to stockup their fridg-es and grocery cupboards.However, this is a privi-
lege not afforded to many.In an attempt to alleviate
the stresses of the under-privileged and their quest tofinding their next plate offood, Malia November willprepare 16 pots of food over16 days.November has been pre-
paring food for the under-privileged formanyyears al-ready but this year she de-cided to take it a stepfurther.“I reallywant tohelp those
in need and I think servingmy surrounding communi-ties with a plate of food willreally help them,” she says.The inspiration to cook for hundreds of
families from Lavender Hill, Seawinds,Capricorn and the greater Steenberg andRetreat areas was spurred on by the loom-ing 16 Days of Activism for No ViolenceAgainst Women and Children campaign.“I feel that it is important to support the
plight against violence in our communities.Making food to help these families whostrugglewith this challenge is only onewayto help,” November explains.November,who says shehas a passion for
cooking,will beworkingwith a teamof fourto feed the community.“My husband boughtme four 100F pots to
helpme onmyway. These potswere boughtfor a good cause and I intend to use themfor the bettering of underprivileged peo-ple’s lives,” she explains.November says she hopes to get the sup-
port of the community in helping her doinggood for the community.
“I always want to help people and I be-lieve everybody should have something de-cent to eat,” she says.Novemberplans to cookakhni,whichhas
“always been a winner”, to satisfy the tum-mies of many.“People lovemy food. If I ask forhelp from
anybody and say there’s food involved, theyare quick to jump in. They know I make itlekker,” she chuckles.She plans to distribute the food at parks
and open fields for it to be more accessibleto the community.However, November needs the help of the
community to help her get 16 pots of foodprepared.“I need all the help I can get. I especially
need donations for ingredients because thegroceries can get a bit expensive. I will ac-cept all thehelp I canget tohelpour familiesin need,” November adds.V If you would like to donate contact Malia Novemberon 082 723 4280.

Call to change Quintile SystemAs the academic year draws to an end, pro-vincial education minister Debbie Schäferhas again called on the national educationminister to amend its Quintile System.This after the provincial education de-
partment’s records showed that it will payout more than R44m to fee-paying schoolsin the province for school fee exemptionsgranted last year.The Quintile System determines how
much funding a school will receive fromgovernment. It divides schools into five dif-ferent quintiles,which is determinedby thegeographical location of the school. Schoolsin affluent areas are usually placed inQuin-tile 5, while a school in a rural area or town-ship is usually placed in Quintile 1.This means a school which is located in
an affluent area, no matter the area wherethe pupils live, will determine the ultimatefunding of a school.Schools in Quintile 1 are no-fee schools,
which means the school is run solely ongovernment funding.In a statement, Schäfer says: “While I am
pleased that we have been able to assist ourschools in providing fee compensation forfee exemption for some of our poorer [pu-pils], the reality is that there are a growingnumber of parents who simply cannot af-ford to pay school fees. This is an unfortu-nate consequence of our ailing economy.Asa consequence,morehas to be done to assistthe poor and our schools serving poor com-munities.”If the school fees are more than 10% of
parents’ combined annual salary, theyqualify for fee exemption.They can also apply for partial exemption
if the fees are between 2% and 10% of theirannual salary, depending on the number ofchildren they have at a fee-paying, public
school.“A successful application for fee exemp-
tion ultimately means that the parent is ex-empted from paying school fees. Therefore,that school will not receive that specific pu-pil’s school fees, which places strain on theschools finances,” Schäfer explains.“While we recognise the important role
which fee exemptions play in granting ac-cess to the poor and relief in tough econom-ic times, we are also cognisant that manyof our schools are struggling financiallyand are dependent on the collection ofschool fees to sustain various projects, re-sources or governing body staff establish-ments.”Since provincial government’s decision
to financially supportno-fee schools in 2011,it has paid out over 100% more than fouryears ago.“I, therefore, again appeal to [national ed-
ucation] minister Angie Motshekga toamend the Quintile System. In the WesternCape we have tried to alleviate the effectsof the system by allowing some schools inQuintile 4 to apply to be no-fee schools,”Schäfer says.“However, as a result of ourown financial
constraints, we cannot expand this furtherthis year. Fee compensation has providedsome assistance, but we ultimately need tochange the current Quintile System forschools that genuinely serve poor [pupils]to receive the requisite support from na-tional government.”She adds the suggestion will not erase all
fee exemptions in the province, “but itwould certainly help many parents whocannot afford to pay school fees, as well asschools in Quintile 4 and 5 which are strug-gling financially because of non-payment offees”.

STREET PEOPLE
Survey givesmore insightThe first of a three-phase project to im-
prove a response to the plight of streetpeople has been completed.
This according to the City of Cape Town’sSocial Development and Early ChildhoodDevelopment Directorate.A street people survey was conducted in
shelters and on the streets over a four-dayperiod in June by 220 trained fieldworkers.The survey included a head count and the
completion of questionnaires to establishhow long respondents have been on thestreets, their communities of origin, whatthey do to survive on the streets, andwheth-er or not they use shelters and serviceswithin the city, explains Mayoral Commit-tee member for Social Development andEarly Childhood Development Suzette Lit-tle.“We already have numerous interven-
tions in place. These interventions are,however, based on estimates dating back anumber of years. We therefore decided togain a better understanding over time ofhow many people we are dealing with andlook to repurposing our interventions ifneed be,” she says.Over 2 500 people took part in the survey.Of the 1 593 who reported on the length
of time that they have been on the street,17% had been on the street for between oneand five years with 15% fairly new arrivalswho had been on the streets for less thanone to six months.Geographically, the highest number of re-
spondents was counted in the Cape TownCity Bowl.About 15% of the sample reported being
on the street out of choice,withmost report-ing lack of housing (26%), the loss of family(18%), substance abuse (15%), and unem-ployment and economic factors (15%) asreasons for their continued stay on thestreet.There was a significant difference in the
income strategies between those living onthe street and those in shelters.When livingon the street, income was predominatelygenerated from begging (45%), temporaryor contract employment (37%) and socialgrants (2%).Those in shelters hadmore access to tem-
porary employment (43%), social grants(29%) and fewer than 8% resorted to beg-ging on the street.The next phase of the project is to com-
pare the latest data with the findings of pre-vious surveys and establish trends thatcould further shape the directorate’s streetpeople interventions.“Once we finish phase two, we’ll move on
to the final phase which is the establish-ment of a database, using this data that wehave collected as a foundation,” says Little.A number of street children were ob-
served during the survey and the City willpropose a similar enumeration focusing onchildren to theprovincialDepartment of So-cialDevelopment as the responsible author-ity in terms of the Child Care Act.

Walk Away: you can be a heroMost children think of their school shoes asthe ultimate burden that completes adreary uniform.It represents 12 years of slog and formany
the first sign of freedom fromwearing thoseshoes is to relegate them to a pile of discard-ed clothes immediately after writing thatlast matric exam. Some may even think ofburning those shoes on a very high fire.But imagine the alternative if you didn’t
have those same school shoes to carry youthrough all the seasons – especially duringour cold winters when you have to negoti-ate puddles of rain?In some families children have to share
the same pair of shoes, with siblings takingturns to wear them.Hard to imagine, right? Not quite.This is the reality formany children from
less fortunate backgrounds. Their parentssimply don’t have the means to scrape to-gether enough money for school shoes. Somany of them go to school barefoot.Youcanbeahero.Youcando soby simply
leaving your school shoes at your desk afteryou have written your last exam for theyear.Please ensure you ask your parents’ per-
mission to do so. The shoes need to be inusable condition – nobody should wear bro-ken shoes to school. Tie the shoes togetherso thepairs arenot lostwhen theyare boxedup. People’s Post requests that the shoes areboxed and ready for collection in the newyear.V Participating schools donating shoes can contactPeople’s Post at [email protected] with thewords “Walk Away” in the subject field.

the peninsula were closed by landlords lastTuesday. The South African Post Office re-iterated that it is experiencing a problemwith cash flow, which contributed to theshutting down of the branches.Martie Gilchrist, provincial Post Office
spokesperson, said they had “discovered”that the rent for certain offices were notpaid. She said it was unclear how many
branches were affected, but the relevantbranches are mainly located in shoppingmalls.Die Burger recently reported on the Post
Office’s financial predicament, which in-cludes R500m loss in the past six months.Union members have also been on strike
the past fourmonths. In addition, the boardof the Post Office resigned from their postson Friday 7 November. Gilchrist confirmedthe following branches have been closed:Sable Square; Blue Route Mall; WestgateMall; Ottery Centre; Kenilworth Centre;Riverside Mall; Cavalier Mall; and EersteRiver. – Die Burger

withHeart 104.9FM,People’s Post andTyger-Burger will host the Hot Summer Grooveconcert at the GrandWest Arena and itshould not be missed.Taking to the stage are some talents that
need very little introduction to local musiclovers and actually started in the businessalmost as toddlers.Manymoons ago inMitchell’s Plain the fa-
ther of Emo and Loukmaan Adams startedthe Kinners Vannie Ses project (it is still go-ing strong) and the tiny talents thatwere fea-tured in this show includedRamaineBarrei-ro and Alistair Izobell.The rest, as they say, is history with Emo,
Loukmaan and Alistair eventually gettinginvolved with the Kramer/Petersen produc-tions. All of themplayed the role of Broertjiein District Six – The Musical at one stage.Theywerealsopart of thephenomenalKatand the Kings that toured internationallyand won a Laurence Olivier Award in Lon-don.Alistair smiles when he recalls those
heady days when they were performing andtouring with the best on the local entertain-ment scene.“The Rockets andAl Etto played a big part
in taking our talent to another level, eventhough we were so young,” he said.“Loukman and myself were part of a tour
to Japan as part of Ricardo and Friends.When we got back we were joined by Emoand Ramaine who added another dimensionto our sounds and we were encouraged toform the group Nu Fancy.“This was about 1990, and we first record-
ed with the Rockets and then on our own.Remember that the recording studio wasnext to Club Fame in Elsies River.”Looking back Alistair feels that this start
into the entertainment business made themrealise their destiny.“I think after a few years we realised this
is what we were designed to do with ourlives. All of us had music in our back-grounds,” he said.“The Adams’ always had some people
practising there for the minstrels or the Ma-lay Choirs. They participated in those com-petitions from young.“At Ramaine’s place the whole family
loved music; she was always singing tothem. And inmine therewere somany fami-ly members who played music but I am theone that took to it professionally and haveno regrets.”The international connections and acco-
lades also came early for some of this crew,as Alistair explains.“When we were 12-year-olds, Loukman
and myself worked with Stevie Wonder, BJThomas, Jonathan Butler and variousgroups likeAtlantic Star and Imagination sowe were just motivated to keep going fromthat early age,” he says.“Then came the Kramer/Petersen years
and the experience is something that stayswith you forever. This experience also gaveus the confidence to find our individualpaths in our music and we all have workedhard to make a success in our careers.”He laughs at the thought that Hot Summer
Groove is a “reunion” concert.“No man, we’re all a bit different musical-
ly and each of us has grown into a talent thatcan stand on its own. But we’ve always re-mained friends, we’ve been there for eachother and performed in each others’ produc-tions over the years,” he explains.“One thing I can assure the public is that
this concert has it all for all music lovers.”The concert will also be featuring the Sa-
ma-nominated female vocal group Black-byrd.And the Take Note band will be on stage
to back these talented artists.But that’s not all! If you buy a ticket to this
show you will stand a chance of winning abrand new car – the latest FAW V2 1.3.
All the tickets bought for the show will bepart of the lucky draw and thewinner on thenight will drive away in their new car.This event is part of a fundraising effort
and R5 of each ticket will be donated to theTrauma Centre in Zonnebloem.The centre is breaking the cycle of vio-
lence by providing crisis counselling to vic-tims of trauma.One lucky couple can win dinner for two

Shopping lists.Things to do.Deadlines to meet.
People to please.Gift lists to write, and then rewrite again.More shopping.Gentle reminders and invasive in-store jingle prompts
to buy, buy, buy.In townships, people are pondering what new lounge
suites to buy. The plastic will stay on at least until Easter,to protect the upholstery from excess.There will be no feet or sticky handprints on those
couches – at least until the plastic is removed.They’re probably already hanging the Christmas cur-
tains. And polishing the silverware that comes out onlytwice a year – at Christmas and again at Easter.Then there’s the outfit for Mom, Dad and kids.Maybe even the dog will get an outfit. In this new South
Africa anything is possible.The tree.The gifts – some still with cash slip intact to return on
Boxing Day, just in case the size or colour doesn’t satisfy.Appeals to support charities.Giving and getting. Dropping hints.Making do with little.Giving away even less.Perhaps the citizens of our fair city should consider sav-
ing some of their hard-earned pay. Or at the very leastmake a dent in their mounting debt.Do you really need a new lounge suite?Tone down, already. Temper the impulse to spendmon-
ey you worked so hard for on stuff you don’t need to im-press people you don’t like. Yes, we have all heard thatone before.So why step squarely into the same debt trap?The table doesn’t have to negotiate the burden of the
same winter menu that hints at pre-diabetes in the newyear. Give yourselves a break.
We do not wantwaste in ParkwoodI respond to the letter of Pastor Paul Phil-lips “No to waste drop off site” in People’sPost of 11 November.Thank you for printing his letter.People’s Post is appreciated for high-
lighting the plight of our society.Ward 66 advice office support the call
for no dump site near or in Parkwood.No residents and community leaders of
Parkwood andGoolhurst nor the familiesof any deceased persons buried in KlipRoad Cemetery were consulted by theCity of Cape Town and its ward council-lors.We call on the Parkwood Community
Forum to send mayor Patricia de Lille amoratorium and call for immediate stop-page and no further negotiation or publicconsultation on the idea of a drop off site
with immediate effect.It must be noted and experienced that
if the City only talks to six people and thesix agree the City claims it to be good andfull public participation.CouncillorsMelanie Arendse (ward 66)
andShannonRossouw (ward 101)must becalled to public meetings to hear the cryand voices of residents and be handed amemorandumexpressingnodropoff site.This must be signed by all residents ofParkwood and Goolhurst residing intheirwardsas theywill be themost affect-ed persons.The advice office calls on the City to
look for another site possibly near themountain or sea where nobody lives.ABE BRAAF,GRASSY PARK
‘Nothing comes of meetings’Wewill havemeetings aftermeetings andnothing will come of it (“Police problemspersist”, People’s Post, 11 November).Why is there almost no police visibilityin our areas?I was shocked to see almost seven po-
lice cars at Spur [one day].Why can’t officers use their own vehi-
cles when they want to have fun?I made an appointment to speak to the
head of 10111 because of the poor servicethe community receives.I was shocked to see the head, only
known as Mr Bongani, was in a wheel-chair assisted by a young constable,while another was his driver.In other words, three people each get-
ting a salary while only one person isneeded for the job.Start from the top!Provincial police commissioner Lieu-
tenant-General Arno Lamoer can come
out to see what is happening in these are-as.In Bonteheuwel alone there were 49
gang-related deaths, but Lamoer stillsays he can’t deploy more police officersin the area.The only thing needed to be accepted
in the police is a matric certificate anda driver’s licence – of which many havebeen obtained via the backdoor.These youngsters can’t drive properly
and end up smashing police vans.Others are getting rich as they accept
bribes.Clean out every cop and get rid of the
bad ones. We recently saw the arrest of10 police officers stationed at Parow Po-lice Station; believe me – there are manymore corrupt officers. This is only the tipof the iceberg. Get the army in.PAT LEE,Email
Unite in fighton crimeI read an article in a community news-paper inwhich officials againmoanedabout crime being out of control andthat our police are under-resourced.The article said factors like gangs,
drug abuse, unemployment and poorparenting, the need for money andperceptions about the justice systemwere voted main contributors forcrime.Safety and Security MEC Dan Plato
was quoted as saying that “on aver-age, there are between 45 and 55 mur-ders a week and about 95 rapes are re-ported a week”.We should stop playing with statis-
tics.Weare thevictimswhoare suffer-ing physically, financially, emotional-ly and spiritually because our [gov-ernment] is doing absolutely nothingto stop this wave of terror. Meetingsand talking isworthless as nothing re-sourceful gets implemented and thenext time we have meetings with thesame agenda but still nothing getsdone to protect the citizens.The captains appointed to protect us
against crime are tied by the same jar-gon and fruitless meetings that fadelikemist after themeetings have beenclosed. [Government, safety and secu-rity structures] and the public shouldstop this tsunami of barbaric crime,pray for our country and the wisdomto open police colleges to enrol hordesof men and women in blue and in do-ing so we have to reach the goal of be-coming a police state.Metro Police and Law Enforcement
agencies are to combine to resourcethis police state. Every reservist mustbeamalgamated into one strongpoliceforce and our matriculants should berecruited in our police force. It is timewe become “kragdadig” in the fightagainst crime because criminals havenomercy if we fall into their clutches.When we have this police state
criminals will realise crime does notpay.KEITH BLAKE

NOTICE OF AMEETING OF THE COUNCILOF THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN
Guy Fawkes madness must endI cannot stand idly by andwatch the continu-ation of Guy Fawkes, which is nothing morethan a senseless, chaotic and, for some, dead-ly tradition.Many Capetonians associate Guy Fawkes
with bonfires and fireworks, as is custom inGreat Britain where Guy Fawkes Day origi-nated. Every year, the ‘celebration’ sparksmassive debate about the use of fireworks –usually with very strong opposing views.But for many residents on the Cape Flats,
the detonation of fireworks is the least oftheir concerns. For decades, communitieshave been terrorised by criminal elementson Guy Fawkes Day, and I think the time hascome to draw a line in the sand and say ‘nomore’.On Wednesday 5 November, reports were
surfacing as early as mid-morning of ma-rauding gangs of youths, running amok onthe Cape Flats. Schooling in a number of sub-urbs, but Mitchell’s Plain and Bonteheuwelin particular, was badly affected as pupilsstayed home, fearful of falling victim to thesegangs who use anything at their disposal towreak havoc and pilemisery on law-abiding,decent citizens.Where is the fun in covering people with
paint or shoe polish? What level-headed per-son can find merriment and mirth in attack-ing someone with a stone-filled sock, eggs oreven faeces? How does the ‘celebration’ ofGuy Fawkes Day justify terrorising and rob-bing shopkeepers and informal traders?
While gangs are known to use the cover ofGuy Fawkes Day for nefarious activities, themajority of these roaming mobs are com-prisedof youngchildren – somenoolder thansix. This is of grave concern because itspeaks to a level of dysfunction in our socie-ty. It is symptomatic of the deeper socio-eco-nomic ills that plague our city and country.It is also symptomatic of the lack of parentalguidance and control inmany of our commu-nities.For many, the automatic responses to the
terror of Guy Fawkes are ‘where are the po-lice?’ and ‘what are the authorities doing?’The real question should be: ‘Where are theparents, families and guardians of those chil-dren who are holding communities to ran-som with their vile acts?’Respect for self and others starts in the
home and that’s where the buck needs tostop.I would like nothingmore than to lobby for
a formal ban on Guy Fawkes Day, but I amunder no illusion a formal ban will morethan likely not put paid to this behaviour. In-stead, it is up to communities to unmaskthese elements and their cowardice and tosend a strong message that their actions willnot be tolerated. What we’re witnessing nowis nothing short of assault with intent to dogrievous bodily harm.SUZETTE LITTLE,City of Cape Town Mayco member for Social Development and Early Childhood Development
Lagos: Pray for familiesThe expeditious repatriation of the bodies ofthose who perished in Lagos, Nigeria in TBJoshua’s Synagogue Church of All NationsChurch is imperative to bring closure to thebereaved.Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe’s
deployment to Lagos to facilitate the diplo-matic process is welcomed by all mourners
and we remain perplexed at the loss of lifeof thosewho pilgrimed to Joshua’s church ina twist of fate, to enhance and bring healingto their lives.May the souls of thosewhodiedrest in peace and our commiserations for thewholeness of God to bring strength to thosebereaved by the tragedy in Lagos.MARK KLEINSCHMIDT
Your SMSes. There are so many negative responsesfrom residents regarding the new Pick nPay. Therewill be specials at the store.Whodoesn’t like specials nowadays with foodprices on the increase? I bet you these com-plainers will be first in the queue to stockup for Christmas. The bottle store also hastrucks offloading stock.
. I think it is a good idea to have a Pickn Pay on our doorstep, because these littleshops, which are not even run by the origi-nal owners any more, charge us so muchmore for goods which we can actually getcheaper at these big stores. The produce isalso so much fresher.
.We can’t wait for Pick n Pay to open.
. Pick n Pay, you are welcome to my ar-ea. I find that their stores have everythingI need. I mostly shop and get my necessitiesthere. Please ignore those people who don’twant Pick n Pay here. Regular customer
. I love shopping at Pick n Pay. It is agreat decision to open a store in the area.All their stock has sell-by dates and we cantrust reliability. Pick n Pay, we are happyand will surely support you.
. There is a need for a Pick n Pay inGrassy Park. I enjoy fresher produce. Pickn Pay offers good service and quality prod-ucts to its customers. Let it go ahead withmaking many customers happy. I am justwondering whether those unhappy resi-dents will not shop at the new store. Theyhave all the right to enjoy shopping at theirold supplier stores. And if it suits them,they can even boycott Pick n Pay; it’s theirchoice. Welcome to Grassy Park, Pick nPay.
. Dear Pick n Pay, I am happy for thisfamily store. I live in Sixth Avenue. Thiswill also create jobs. Grassy Park resident
. The store should not be permitted as itwill create congestion and building regula-tions will be violated, which are in place interms of town planning regulations. Con-cerned resident of peaceful Grassy Park
.We need a Pick n Pay here – comingfrom a Grassy Park resident for the past 20years. Next we should continue with thePrincess Vlei Shopping Complex as well.CGM
. There has been a poster on the buildingfor months and nobody came forward withany complaints. The same people who arecomplaining are going to shop there andstand first in-line with the opening. The un-employment rate in our community is toohigh. Have a heart and stop moaning. It’sgoing to be a blessed Christmas for those60 families, who will be putting a nice mealon their tables.
. This is a great idea. The shops aroundare expensive.
. I’m happy Pick n Pay will be openingon my doorstep. It is long overdue. I do notown a car and have to walk to Lotus Riveror Capricorn to get to a Pick n Pay. VivaPick n Pay! Ghadieja
. Those complainers must stop thinkingof themselves, but also of those who willbenefit by being employed and those whonow don’t have to travel to shop at a Pickand Pay. First it was “no” to a shoppingmall at Princess Vlei and now this. I, forone, am happy. Anonymous
. There are already problems with theSABdelivery trucks delivering to the bottle
store on the other side of the road. Thetrucks take up the whole road and it is diffi-cult to get through. With Pick n Pay want-ing to open here, it willmeanmore deliverytrucks at any hours of the day. I don’t thinkthey are looking out for the community. Dothe residents not make up the community?
. I am happy that there will be a Pick nPay in Grassy Park. I hope they will caterfor Christians as well, as most of the storescater only for halaal clients. Also keep thestandard high.
. Thousands of Grassy Park residentsare really looking forward to the openingof a Pick n Pay store on Monday 1 Decem-ber. That is proof of how residents feelabout the new store. The proof of what ma-jority of Grassy Park residents want will beseen on the opening day. Many are waitingfor that day. Besides, it will be creating jobswhichwill be verywelcome inGrassyPark.
. As a pensioner I’m happy to have Pickn Pay within walking distance from myhome, saving us having to drive and, thus,saving us petrol. For me it’s a win-win situ-ation, as it will also create jobs. Happy pen-sioner
.Why complain? It’s time we get a greatservice, saving on cost and providing jobs.
. It will be a good thing to have Pick nPay in Grassy Park.
. As a Grassy Park resident for 18 years,I am very happy about the Pick n Pay. It’stime that these little stores gets competitionagainst their pricey products, as the elderlywithout transport have no other option.Let’s move into the future with cheaper su-permarkets that will benefit everyone’spockets. As with all change, it’ll take timeto get used to.
. Iwelcome the newPicknPay inGrassyPark. I want to shop a certain time on Fri-days – at a time convenient for me – but allthe shops are closed at that specific time.
. Glory, hallelujah! After more than 65years we are finally on track to have a su-permarket in our area. You have my bless-ings. Why must we go out of Grassy Parkto do our shopping?
.We are all for the new store. Why mustwe leave our area when the new Pick n Paywill be right on our doorsteps. We welcomethe supermarket to our area. People withcars, don’t think of anyone but themselves.Thank you Pick n Pay for coming our way.Miss Van der Westhuizen
.We need this supermarket in GrassyPark, as the Muslim-owned shops close fortrade on Fridays. The supermarket will al-so offer great bargains.
. The new Pick n Pay is an excellent ideaas we would always be able to get fresh pro-duce. If all these little stores were morestocked up with variety and freshness, Iwould rule against Pick n Pay in the area.
. As a resident of Cafda I feel that the su-permarket is a wonderful development, be-cause it is right on our doorstep. As for thecomplaints, I feel it is silly because the storehad to be up and running in October al-ready. Residents of Italian Road: once thesupermarket opens, will you not be happythat youwill not have to leave the area?Youcan just take a walk to the store.
. I am simply delighted to have a Pick nPay store in Grassy Park and I’m reallylooking forward to the opening. I am surethere will be lots of bargains.
. Not all people fromGrassy Park or Caf-da own cars, or have the money to travelto a grocery store.

Akio Toyoda has seen the fu-ture and it’s called Mirai.That’s the name of Toyota’s
new fuel-cell car which the compa-ny’s president announced in a vid-eo the day before the car’s officiallaunch.Mirai, which means ‘future’ in
Japanese, is said by the automakerto be a turning point for the auto-motive industry with the promise“of a world that is safer, greenerand easier for everyone”.In Toyoda’s words: “This is a car
that lets you have it all with nocompromises.”Toyota says the car has the cruis-
ing range of a conventional saloon,can be refuelled in less than five
minutes, and emits only water va-pour.The four-door will launch in Ja-
pan with the price-tag reading $57500 - about R637 000 and a heavyprice for a modest, if rather sexy,family car. Toyota is hoping for 400sales in 2015 followed by Americanconsumption of 3 000 a year by2017.All that’s needednow is an ad-equate number of hydrogen fuel-ling stations.This is what Toyoda said in the
video: “Today, we are at a turningpoint in automotive history wherepeople will embrace a new, envi-ronmentally-friendly car that is apleasure to drive. A turning pointwhere a four-door sedan can travel
500km on a single tank of hydro-gen, can be refuelled in under fiveminutes and emit only water va-pour. A turning point that repre-sents many years and countlesshours ofworkbyour team to createa car that redefines the industry.All of us at Toyota believe in a fu-ture that will be safer, greener andeasier for everyone. We imagineda world filled with vehicles thatwoulddiminishourdependence onoil and reduceharm to the environ-ment. It was a bold, but inspiring,goal - today it is a reality.”He explained that the fuel cell in
the car could create enough elec-tricity to power a house for a week,though the fuel could bemade from
anything - “even garbage”.He added that he did some test
driving and found that it was notonly emissions free but also its lowcentre of gravity allowed “very dy-namic handling”.“After surviving millions of
miles on the test track and 10 yearsof testing on public roads in freez-ing cold and scorching heat… afterpassing extensive crash tests…and after working with local gov-ernments and researchers aroundthe world to help make sure it iseasy and convenient to refuel…weare ready to deliver.”For Toyota, he said, the Mirai
was “not just another car”.– Wheels24

Run-flatsfor allRun-flat tyres are now avail-able for mass-market cars.That’s the word fromBridge-stone which has launchedDriveGuard, a range of run-flat tyres for vehicles thatdon’t have them as originalequipment.Hiroshi Nakanishi, a
Bridgestone manager, said:“DriveGuard allows driversof such cars to enjoy all thebenefits of run-flats. If aDriveGuard tyre is punc-tured the driver can contin-ue the journey at reducedspeed until reaching a safeplace to change the wheel.”DriveGuard is built on the
technology of Bridgestone’sexistingRFTrun-flat tyres. Ifa DriveGuard tyre is punc-tured, a maximum speed of80km/h can be maintainedfor 80km.Nakanishi added: “The
ability to keep driving aftera puncture is extremely im-portant for family cars - rath-er than changing a wheel atthe roadside the family canget safely home froma poten-tially dangerous situation orkeep going at reduced speeduntil they reach a safer loca-tion. This is a great benefit ifthe puncture occurs during arainstorm or in heavy traf-fic.”Bridgestone says the tyres’
construction also delivers amore comfortable ride thanconventional tyres. Drive-Guard is available in a rangeof sizes to fit wheels from 15”to 18” diameter. – Wheels24

Crunch timeSHIFAAN RYKLIEF
The Magic will face Zizwe United in theNedbank Cup play-off final.Four teams from the ABC Motsepe
League went head-to-head at Chukker Roadthis past weekend in search of a place in theNedbank Cup play-off final.Zizwe United FC faced newcomers Barce-
lona FC who has really impressed in theleague thus far. Barcelona were surely hop-ing to carry their superb showing in theleague through to theirNedbankCup semifi-nal match-up.However, it was the Khayelitsha-based
outfitwho took a 2-0 lead into the break,withSiyambonga Madikane and Bathandwa“Lanka” Mzilikazi finding the back of thenet respectively for Zizwe.Barcelona displayed an elegant passing
game as they looked to get back into thegame, but Zizwe’s Madikane went on toscore his brace and gave his side a three-goallead. In the closing stages of the game,Barce-lona received a penalty and managed toscore a consolation goal to end the game 3-1.Meanwhile, George Dearnaley’s side The
Magic came from a goal behind to level mat-terswith FCTygerberg in the dyingminutesof the game. Damian Mitchell gave FC Ty-gerberg the initial lead, before GhaalibAvontuur got the equalizer. The Magic thenwent on to claim a 5-4 penalty shootout win.With only one team from the Western
Cape’s third tier eligible to play in the Ned-bank Cup tournament, it means that ZizweUnited and The Magic will soon face eachother to decidewhowill claim the spot in thelucrative tournament. – CapeTownFootballFacebook page

African Beastscontinue unbeaten runSTEVLIN MALGAS
Cape Town All Stars let yet another derbymatch slip through their fingers whenthey played to a 1-1 stalemate with FC
Cape Town at the Athlone Stadium on Fridayevening.Coach Boebie Solomons was left haplessly
looking to the stars as his charges lacked com-posure in the final third to secure their firsthome victory.The seventh Cape Derby of the season start-
ed off at a blistering pace, with the FC CapeTown outmuscling their hosts in the openingexchanges. Starswere shining the brightest inthe 40th minute when midfielder ZaphaniahMbokoma gave his side the lead against hisformer team.The host took a 1-0 lead into the break as the
African Beasts were left licking their wounds.Stars continuedwhere they left off and start-
ed the second half the brightest.However, following two quick substitutions
for the African Beasts, it was SibusisoMasinawho found the back of the net for the visitorsto level matters nine minutes into the secondhalf. The game soon opened up as both teams
searched for the winner and although Starshad more clear-cut chances, they failed capi-talise on them to regain the lead.Meanwhile, the visitors had their chances
as well, but were denied by the heroics of goal-keeper Kyle Peters.With neither side able break the deadlock,
1-1 is how it ended as the two Cape sides addedto their draw masters reputation.The result saw FC Cape Town record their
eighth draw in eleven matches, while Starsare not far off with seven draws. CapeTown-Football Facebook page
