Residents in the New Horizons housing project are divided due to the installation of solar panel geysers. PHOTO: CHEVON BOOYSEN

NEW HORIZONS

Temperature risingCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

New Horizons residents will have tomake do without the promised solarwater rebate programme.

This comes after Eskom was “requested”to withdraw the rebate programme whereBreaking New Ground (BNG) homeownersreceived subsidies for their geysers.According to a statement fromEskom, the

management and implementation of the pro-grammewill behandedover theDepartmentof Energy (DoE).The handover has resulted in conflict and

confusion between BNG homeowners andGap house owners. The latter have receivedsolar geysers.But BNG homeowner Eileen Green says it

is “unfair” that they donot have geysers, butother residents in the area already havethem installed.“What makes us different from other

homeowners if we can’t get the same facili-ties as they do? A geyser might be a luxurybutwhy only supply it to somewhen the restare overlooked?” Green asks.Green says she moved into her home less

than a year ago.“When Imoved inwe did not have the gey-

sers installed, but were told we would get it.This has not yet materialised and now I un-derstandwemight not even get it,” she says.Gap house owner Richard Petersen, how-

ever, says they are paying for their own gey-ser.“We are not being subsidised for our gey-

ser at all. This is being paid out of our ownpocketswhenwepay for ourbond,”Petersensays.Ward councillor Shaun August confirms

he received notification that the programmewhich was administered through Eskom,has been stopped “due to the current situa-tion at Eskom.”“It is important to note that thiswas never

aCity ofCapeTowncontract andwas admin-istered through Eskom. It has caused a lotof confusion for residents in the area,” hesays.August confirms residents who live in

Gap housing are responsible for financingfor their own geysers.“Gaphouse residents pay for their geysers

due to integration through their bond pay-ments. Their bond payments cover the costs

for the geyser installation aswell,” he pointsout.August says confusion arises when gap

house owners live opposite or close to BNGhomeowners.“You will get a situation where a resident

will see their neighbour has a geyser in-stalled, but they don’t have it at their ownhomes. Then conflict arises and they wantto know why they do not have it. But it isimportant that residents know that BNGhouses andGap houses receive geysers fromtwo different bodies,” August explains.City Mayoral Committee Member for Hu-

man Settlements, Benedicta van Minnen,

says that the handover from Eskom to theDoEwill have no impact on service delivery.“The City can confirm that Eskom’s with-

drawal has no impact on service delivery ashousing projects do not ordinarily receivegeysers because it does not form part of thehousing subsidy,” says Van Minnen.She adds the City “cannot confirm speci-

fics of an alternative plan.”However, BNG homeowners may have

geysers installed at their homes, Van Min-nen says.“Homeowners are provided with the nec-

essary plumbing pipework for these geysersso that if they are able to purchase geysers

at a later stage they may do so,” she says.VanMinnen further explains that “benefi-

ciaries of this project have not received gey-sers through the project”.“However, there are beneficiaries who

have installed their own geysers and haveused the pipework available tomake this in-stallation easy.”Van Minnen confirms that the New Hori-

zons housing project has about 2 024 BNGunits, 740 Gap units and 260 market units.TheDoEdidnot respond to enquiries from

INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY

In a fight for independenceMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

With limited options for lifelonglearning, many intellectually disa-bled people fight a constant battle

for independence.This month authorities and organisa-

tions like Cape Mental Health are shininga light on the plight of children and adultswith intellectual disabilities (ID) and thechallenges faced when accessing post-school qualifications.

AwarenessMarch is Intellectual Disability Aware-

ness Month.In South Africa and according to a state-

ment by Cape Mental Health pupils with IDhave limited opportunities for lifelonglearning, education and employment oncethey exit the school system.“There are few, if any, post-school qualifi-

cations offered at a suitable level of under-standing, with appropriate training meth-ods and materials, to suit their special edu-cational needs.”The organisation has embarked on a cam-

paign to raise awareness about the equalrights of persons with ID to lifelong learn-ing, education and employment opportuni-ties in the open labour market.

ChallengesAccording to Cape Mental Health spokes-

person, Chanelle Albertyn, pupils with IDface a host of challenges.She says children with IDwho do not par-

ticipate in programmes after school oftensit at home without any stimulation, be-come bored and may be vulnerable to sub-stance abuse and unlawful behaviour.“They remain dependent upon their fami-

lies. That can have a significant impact ontheir self-esteem, as they see others aroundthem transitioning into adulthood and con-tributing to society,” she says.Albertyn further explains pupils with ID

who are medium to high functioning attendLearners with Special Education Needs(LSEN) schools but find it hard to access ac-credited post-school training due to theirlack of academic qualification when theyexit the school system.“They are unable to benefit from Techni-

cal Vocational Education and Training(TVET) and Further Education and Train-ing (FET) Colleges which require an NQFlevel 1 qualification in order to gain admis-sion,” the statement says.Albertyn says one of the biggest challen-

ges is the perception that people with IDhave little or no educational needs, and thatthey cannot be gainfully employed andmake a meaningful contribution to society.

InitiativesConsidering the challenges the organisa-

tion has partnered with organisations inGermany and has researched and investi-gated best practicemodels inGerman-basedorganisations and institutions. It has devel-oped a draft concept and course outline fora post-school qualification that will changethe lives of youth with intellectual disabili-ty.Cape Mental Health director Ingrid Dan-

iels says with more pupils with ID being ed-ucated there is a greater chance for them toaccess gainful employment and enjoy im-proved livelihoods through economic activ-ity.According to their statement, significant

funding is required to enable them to devel-op and implement a post-school qualifica-tion for pupils with ID.

On Friday 6 March provincial social de-velopment minister Albert Fritz openedThe Open Circle, a newly-established grouphome for adults with intellectual disabili-ties on the grounds of Alexandra Hospitalin Maitland.The group home, which is funded by pro-

vincial government, renders residentialand outpatient services to intellectually dis-abled adults who display challenging be-haviour.

SupportIn their concept document, Cape Mental

Health proposes a three-year post-schoolqualification.In the first year, learners will focus on an

introduction to adulthood and the world ofwork.In the second year they get exposure to

different career options and related skills.In their final year they are provided with

career-specific orientation and preparationrelating to exit opportunities.The document further says the course

will include classroom training and practi-cal work placement in a suitable work envi-ronment.“The course modules will include practi-

cal work skills, individual career develop-ment and guidance, life skills, health andsafety, understanding work and employ-ment, as well as fundamentals such as nu-meracy, literacy and communication,” itsays.Albertyn says the organisation is in need

of funds to develop the course andwelcomesdonations. “The public can help us raiseawareness by liking our Facebook page andsharing our posts,” she adds.V If you would like to help call Cape Mental Healthon 021 447 2416 or visit www.facebook.com/cape-mentalhealth

GRASSY PARK

Haven for drugs, verminCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

Social ills and vermin breeding at aPerth Road property are getting underthe skin of residents.

According to residents of Perth Road inGrassy Park, they are concerned for theirsafety due to the ill activities which haveplagued their street in recent months.

None of the four residents, who met at thehome of their neighbour for the interview,want to be identified.

The residents say they have noticed sus-picious activity at three properties in closeproximity to their homes.

“Last week I woke up at 03:00 from a noisewhich sounded like it was in my yard. WhenI looked out of my window, I could see threegirls leaving one of the derelict houses,” shesays.

According to the residents they suspectprostitution.

“We have seen condoms lying around onthe property. I have gone to the house beforewhen I knew nobody was home and I foundcondoms lying on the floor inside the houseas well,” one resident says.

Another resident says the “problematicproperties” are making them live in fear ev-ery day due to drugs being used and soldclose to their homes.

“You sit inside your house all day becauseyou’re too scared to go outside. Our areanever knew this kind of activity,” he says.

The residents are now at their wit’s endand say “tik koppe” are making their livesa living hell.

“You see children as young as 14 years oldsitting and smoking on the vacant plot inthe area. I have chased them away before,but sometimes you are met with attitudewhen they retort by saying it’s not ourhouse so we must keep quiet and stay outof their business,” says another resident.

The residents have called on the propertyowners who have leased the land to tenantsto take responsibility of their properties.

They say the property has also become ahaven for rodents.

“We have informed the property ownerabout what is happening at the plots, but itis like she doesn’t care. She just collects herrent and leaves. We told her about the ratsthat have started breeding here and it’s cre-ating a health hazard for us, but it falls ondeaf ears,” the residents says.

Ward councillor Shanen Rossouw says

she has received the complaints.“I have been struggling with problem

properties in Jacaranda and Perth roads foralmost four years already but no headwayhas been made. This could partially be dueto the fact that the properties are privatelyowned. But we need to do something aboutit,” Rossouw says.

A People’s Post reporter visited the prob-lem properties. A group of people could beseen smoking tik on a vacant plot.

The residents say they are fed-up with thecriminal activity in the area and say theyhave a simple request.

“We want to feel safe again. We wantcriminal elements out of our neighbour-hood because they are instilling fear. Some-thing needs to be done to rid our communityof this scum,” she says.

Grassy Park police spokesperson War-rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith says fre-quent raids are done at the property.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith says the in-cident occurred at 22:10.“The police were called out to a murder

that three boys attempted to robbed the peo-ple in the carriage at gunpoint. The suspectswere pointed out to the officer and one ofthe boys then threw the firearm out of thewindow,” she says.“One of the other security officers picked

it up and saw that it was a plastic firearmwhich looked realistic.”The boys – who are all from Parkwood –

DRUG ABUSE

The chilling truthsMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

Pencil sharpeners used as dagga pipesand crack cocaine rocks hidden underfingernails, together with dealers find-

ing creative ways to conduct business.These are some of the issues highlighted

in the fight against drugs.Speaking during an education session in

Plumstead last week, Diep River policespokesperson Warrant Officer Keith Chan-dler revealed shocking truths about the drugtrade and use in theWynberg Cluster whichincludes Grassy Park, Steenberg, Diep Riv-er, Wynberg and Kirstenhof police stations.The talk was hosted by the Bergvliet, Kre-

upelbosch and Meadowridge (BKM) neigh-bourhoodwatch andwas aimed at educatingparents and children about the varioustypes of drugs and the effects.Chandler started off with the cheapest

drug on the market, namely dagga.He explained the traditional methods of

smoking the drug by rolling it into a ciga-rette or using a bottle neck. Gasps wereheard when Chandler produced a dagga de-vice made by a school child in the valley.A sharpener and the cap of a pen were cel-

lotaped together and the sharpener used asthe inlet for the dagga. This device, he ex-

plains, was confiscated by officers at a highschool.Among some of the popular fixes is the

smoking of tik.Whenaskedwhy itwas giventhis street name, many in the presentationhad no idea but Chandler explains as itburns it makes a soft ticking sound.The drugwhich iswidelyused in theWest-

ern Cape has its roots in World War II.“It was created by the Japanese andmodi-

fied by the Germans during the war. It sup-presses the appetite and users have no needfor sleep. But it is dangerous andmanyusersget addicted very quickly,” he warns.Passing around a glass instrument called

a “lolly” he says this is the instrument usedto smoke the drug.Holding up one clear lollyand another which has burn marks, Chan-dler says officers can only arrest someonewho is found in possession of a lolly whichhas drug residue on it.He says majority of the gang wars across

Grassy Park and Steenberg are a result overfights about which gang is allowed to sell tikin a particular location.Chandler says they have also seen a surge

in the number of heroin users.Following modifications which make the

drug cheaper to produce and purchase anda change intohow thedrug is consumed, offi-cers have seen a notable increase in the her-

oine trade. Historically, drug addicts used ateaspoon and needle. The teaspoonwas usedto hold the heroin after it has been “melted”so it can be drawn into a needle before beinginjected into the body. Now users take thepowder, place it on a piece of foil and inhalethe smoke that is emitted when the powderis burnt. “Many of our dealers especially inWynbergwho sell heroin are foreign nation-als. Thesedealers oftenusewhatwecall dial-a-drug and deliver to customers. They carryseveral cellphones. In Diep River we arrest-ed a dealer and in 11 minutes he received 44calls.”Another drug commonly used is crack co-

caine. Chandler says these are commonly

used by gangsters in the Grassy Park andSteenberg police precincts during gangfights as it numbs the pain.He explains the drug is also used by prosti-

tutes as it helps to “numb them”.“Because it is so small they hide it under

their fingernails. During a search they oftenjust flick it out making it hard for officersto find and execute an arrest.”Parents questioned Chandler extensively

about the symptoms of drug use and the ef-fectiveness of drug tests.Chandler introduced a urine test which

can be used to test for a variety of drugs.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your thoughts to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

LAVENDER HILL

Mission accomplishedFive youngmen fromLavenderHill have

accomplished a joint dream.The pupils, who range between the

ages of 16 and 18, completed the Cape TownCycle Tour on Sunday 8March and are evencloser to bigger dreams.Michael-Owen Dyson, Bevan Solomons,

Faiez Basardien, Ashley Jacobs and SchalkDamons pedalled their way to their dreamsat exactly 08:02 on Sunday at the start linein the CBD “with one heart”.The cycle tour, though, wasn’t without its

hiccups for the young cyclists.Damons experienced a puncture while

completing the shortened route.“It was so exciting although I had some

ups and downs. I had a puncture at around30km. I stopped to try and fix it but it didn’thold so I just rode the rest of the route any

way,” he says.Damons says he loved the atmosphere and

enjoyed being a part of the cycle tour.Solomons says the new experience was

“wonderful”.“It was a wonderful experience although

I did get a little nervous on one of the down-hillswhen faster cyclists came speedingpastme and they were so close,” he says.Even with the curveballs swung at the

group of cyclists, they showed determina-tion and perseverance.Basardien says he pulled a hamstring

while climbing his last hill. “But I carriedon riding and believe formy first [race] I dida good time. I put in effort and it paid off.I am satisfied with my time and race.”Jacobs says the route was “an easy ride”.“I loved every minute of the atmosphere

and being part of the event.”Jacobs had an unofficial finishing time of

1 hour 30 minutes. The winning time of thefirst cyclist over the line was 1 hour 1 min-ute.Things, however, did not go as easy for

Dyson as he, too, had a puncture on theroute.“Although I stopped and we tried to fix it,

I couldn’t but I was determined to finish therace and get my medal so I walked, pushingmy bike, for the last few kilometres. I am soproud that I finished and loved the experi-ence. I can’t wait to race again,” he says.The five youngmen from the heart of Lav-

ender Hill represented the VirginActive De-velopment Cycling team.In late 2014, Virgin Active’s Business As

a Force for Good team selected the five pu-pils from a group of avid cyclists from Lav-ender Hill Secondary School.The group was selected for their passion

for the sport, their commitment to trainingand potential leadership skills.The group of men did not come without

their own accounts of hardship and challen-ges they face in their community.After a few weeks in training, Dyson was

stabbed in his arm with a screwdriver andwas robbed of his cellphone and new pair oftrainer takkies.In spite of these challenges the group is

ready move on to greater heights.The teamwill be participating in the forth-

comingWestern Province trials at Killarneyand will also be part of a relay team at theDiscovery World Triathlon next month.The opportunities for the young men be-

yond cycling include continued mentorshipand having a positive influence on thewidercommunity and fellow pupils at the school.Wesley Noble, who heads up Business as

a Force for Good and trained and mentoredthe five boys, says he is proud of the group.“The shortened Cape TownCycle Tour did

nothing to dampen their spirit or the enthu-siasm. They all had excellent times,” Noblesays, adding the purpose of the programmegoes “way beyond sporting events and com-petitions”.

New device to detect firesNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A Salt River company has made savinglives its business.

And now the Lumkani fire detectiondevice has the company competing for a $1mprize, after winning the local rounds of a so-cial entrepreneurial competition.

The social enterprise firm has created afire detection device aimed at shackdwell-ers, which detects an increase in heat in-stead of smoke.

Lumkani’s vision is to mitigate the loss oflife and property caused by dangerous firesoccurring in informal settlements, says fi-nancial director David Gluckman.

“We wish to increase the safety and securi-ty of millions, if not hundreds of millions,of people across the globe who live at riskof slum fires,” he says.

The product was born after a devastatingfire in Khayelitsha on New Year’s Day in2013.

The blaze, which displaced thousands ofpeople, was a catalyst for research and devel-opment, Gluckman says.

“This early warning detection system hasits roots in an engineering honours thesis ofFrancois Petousis at UCT.

This tragic event brought together a mul-tidisciplinary team that would bring theoryinto reality to help mitigate the loss of lifeand property associated with the rampantspread of shack fires,” he says.

The device costs R120 and the battery willlast between one and two years.

Lumkani uses heat detection technologywhich is proved to be most effective at sens-ing fires in already smoky environments,Gluckman explains.

“The in-shack heat detector will ringwhen a fire is detected enabling the familyin the home to respond proactively and pos-sibly extinguish the fire,” he says.

If this is not the case, the device will thentrigger all devices within a 100m range of it-self, using transmission technology, to cre-ate a community-wide alert.

“This will serve to proactively alert peopleof the danger to either assist in containingthe fire, or saving family members and be-longings,” he says.

“The critical challenge we want to addressis both the personal safety aspect of one’sfamily in the home as well as the spread ofthe fire to the surrounding community.”

Lumkani has now won $50 000 in fundingand will join 20 other social entrepreneursfrom around the world in Silicon Valley, Cal-ifornia, for a mentorship programme as partof the inaugural Chivas Regal Win The RightWay Campaign.

It is an international competition whichhas attracted the world’s brightest promis-ingly talented social entrepreneurs.

Unique challengesThe mentorship programme will include

mentoring sessions by various business mo-

guls, with visits to leading tech companies,and pitching for the ultimate prize to taketheir business to the next level – a portionof $1m in funding.

Gluckman says the company faces uniquechallenges, as there is little room for error.

“We’re not dealing with a mobile app thattells you how many calories you burn inyour sleep,” he says.

“We are potentially dealing with life anddeath and ‘failure’ in our case can come ata very high price – trust.”

The company sold 850 devices between itslaunch in November last year and the endof January and is already recording success-es.

“Lumkani has already detected two fireswhich the community has verified would

have displaced many people, had the net-work effect of the devices not taken placeand created a community-wide response tothe fire,” he says.

Multi-disciplinary approachBut it’s the company’s team that holds the

secret to their success, Gluckman believes.“What stands out about Lumkani is that

we are about business and [social] impact –where both grow from the other at a similarrate.

“ Our core strength is our multidisciplina-ry team which promotes a multi-stakeholderapproach to growth and development,” hesays.

“We have three engineers within the team,a social change practitioner, entrepreneurs

and an industrial designer. We have a recipeof excellent people.”V Share your thoughts on this device. Starting withthe words “Post” and “device”, SMS to 32516.

Libraries now open for longerAdditional security will be introduced atCity of Cape Town libraries.Relayed in a press statement, the City

says the City’s Library and InformationServices Department has sourced addi-tional funding for security staff.This will allow City libraries to stay

open for longer. For some of the librariesthis means a return to their previousopeninghours,while others have slightlyextended the time they serve patrons.“The cost incurred by the City to man-

age and operate its 100 libraries is closeto half a billion rand annually.Belinda Walker, the City’s Mayoral

Committee Member for Community Ser-vices and Special Projects, said: “This isa critical service provided to our commu-nities, but it must be acknowledged thatthis is an unfunded mandate, with verylittle funding assistance coming from na-tional government. This lack of fundingmeans it is becoming increasingly diffi-cult to keep the libraries fully operation-al.“The City recognises the vital role that

these libraries fulfil in their communi-ties. They provide a quiet and safe spacewhere learners can study and read afterschool and we want this service to be asaccessible as possible.”Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa’s

visit to the City’s Harare Library in re-cent weeks highlighted the essential rolelibraries play in communities such asHarare, Khayelitsha.Ramaphosa said Harare Library was

one of the best libraries he had comeacross in the country andhewent to greatlengths to praise chief librarian LulamaLangeni for her enthusiasm in makingthe library a centre of reading and crea-tivity for the thousands of children whovisit it weekly.Recently, two of the City’s libraries

took the top honours in the annual pro-vincial cultural affairs awards ceremo-ny. The Adriaanse Library in Elsies Riv-er won the award for the Best Medium-Sized Public Library. Central Librarywon the award for Best Public Library:Children’s Services, for their creativeand innovative programmes such as theBookworms Blended Learning One-on-One programme and theWorld Book DayStorytelling Festival in the Company’sGarden.“In the last decade, libraries have

moved away from solely being centres of

reading to being centres of broader op-portunity. With the advent of new com-munication technologies, these facilitiesoften provide an entry point for thoselearning how to use the internet, and thepossibilities for advancement that thisskill brings.It is critical that libraries provide an

access point to online information servi-ces for people who wouldn’t otherwisehave the opportunity to use them,” saidWalker.The City’s vision for libraries is that

they will be centres that are committedto excellence and shared spaces wherecommunities come together to exchangeideas.“The City is actively pursuing innova-

tive approaches to service delivery andfacility provision to ensure the ongoingsustainability of our libraries. We relyheavily on assistance from our manyFriends groups,whohelpwith the day-to-day running of libraries and also help tokeep our shelves stocked,” said Walker.In recent months, some of the City’s li-

braries have become targets for vandalsand the City has called on communitiesto take ownership of their facilities.Neighbourhood watch organisationsplay an important role in deterring theftand vandalism at City facilities and theCity welcomes any suggestions and part-nerships with users and local organisa-tions to maintain and improve libraryservices into the future.Fordetails about libraryopeninghours

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Get testedA Stellenbosch University kidney ex-

pert is encouragingpeople to get testedfor chronic kidney disease (CKD) for

World Kidney Day on Thursday 12 March.This so-called “silent killer” affects about

one in every 10 South Africans. But becausethere are few symptoms in the early stagesof the disease, not many patients realisethey are affected until it is too late.“By the time a patient develops symp-

toms, CKD has sometimes been present formonths or even years, and then it may betoo late to reverse theproblem,” saysProfes-sor Razeen Davids, the head of StellenboschUniversity’s Division of Nephrology at theFaculty of Medicine and Health Sciences(FMHS).CKD is present when the kidneys do not

function optimally to filter waste products,or leak abnormal amounts of protein orblood into the urine.This is mostly a result of damage caused

by common diseases such as diabetes, un-controlled high blood pressure (hyperten-sion) and infections like HIV.

“In Africa we have a lot of infectious dis-easeswhich contribute to our burden of kid-ney disease. HIV in particular is one of themajor causes of kidney disease in our pa-tients,” says Davids.CKD symptoms include tiredness, short-

ness of breath, and swelling of the feet andankles. As most people with CKD also havehypertension, a simple and cheap screeningprocedure involves a blood pressure testand performing urine dipstick test. Annualscreening is recommended for people at ahigher risk of developing CKD. Thesegroups include individuals with diabetes,hypertension, HIV, heart disease, a previ-ous stroke, obesity, and those over the ageof 50.Last year Davids and a colleague, Dr Ju-

lian Jacobs from the N1 City Hospital, re-leased the first South African Renal Regis-try report in 20 years. The report revealedstark differences in treatment between kid-neypatients in theprivate andpublichealthsectors, as well as between provinces.According to the registry there were 191

renal treatment centres in the country in2012, of which 163 were in the private sectorcompared to only 28 in the public sector.The release of this data by the Renal Reg-

istry was an important factor whichprompted national health minister Dr Aar-on Motsoaledi to take firm action in thefight against CKD.Motsoaledi has convened a national sum-

mit to discuss the management of CKD inSouth Africa. “By making accurate dataavailable, governments and other role play-ers can plan their services appropriately,”says Davids.The success of the South African Renal

Registry has caught the attention of othercountries on the continent, and on WorldKidney Day Davids will host representa-tives from various African countries at theFMHS for a workshop on the implementa-tion of national renal registries.“Most African governments are unaware

their citizens are dying of the complicationsof chronic kidney disease.“By developing registries we can provide

the information needed to make peopleaware of this dire need for treatment, andmake it easier for physicians in the variousAfrican countries to motivate for govern-ment support for renal replacement pro-grammes.”V For more information, email Davids [email protected].

Sunset walkThe Cape Kidney As-sociation will host aSunset 5km Walk onThursday 12 Marchto celebrate the 10thanniversary of WorldKidney Day.The Kidney Aware-

ness walk will takeplace along the SeaPoint Promenade.Registration is at15:00 at the open gym

and the walk starts at18:00.Entry is R40 and

children under 12walk free.The first 800 walk-

ers will receive asnack bag.The theme this

year is Kidney healthfor all.For more informa-

Your SMSesCrime operations. It is good to see that something is

being done. It is a start, now we need toget after the big guys. Keep it up!. I feel armed forces such as the army

should be used in communities underthreat. Army bases should be set up 24/7in such communities.

I don’t see why our president andmembers of parliament receive so muchsecurity, but innocent people sufferdaily without the support of govern-ment.

Yet, we have to pay taxes. I only hopethat these criminals don’t get bail. Keepup the good work and keep the raidscoming to make our communities safe.. No wonder the poor response at the

Ottery protest. Learn from Parkwood.Keep politics out. Crime affects every-

one, so for us to support we cannotstand with a banner. Let’s do thingscollectively and for no gain. – Parkwoodresident. Get rid of the merchants and drug

dealers in all communities.. It would be a perfect plan/idea to

microchip those drug dealers and theirassistants who help sell their drugs.Then suspects should get coded with themicrochips per their area/suburb. Whenthose guys are caught it will be easy toidentify where they operate from and itwill be easier to arrest them.. Fantastic work (the past weekend). I

am longing for these fantastic operationsto happen weekly. Bring back the olddays. Great stuff!. The arrests are all good. But I live

opposite a drug dealer in 8th Avenue,Lotus River. I only saw the police drivepast once the Saturday. What is so goodabout the arrests? Tomorrow the crimi-

nals walk free.. All well and good, but do the police

know where Ninth Avenue is? There isvery little presence of them in thisstreet.. The police just is not interested when

you call. You wait 10 minutes beforesomeone finally answers the phone.

Last week I phoned twice with abso-lutely no response from the police.Thugs were sitting on the corner of StBernard and St Bonaventure streets,openly smoking dagga and targetingpeople going to the Somalian shop. Iphoned the police, no response. The nextday they robbed the truck deliveringbread at the four-way store then sat onthe corner stopping the taxis and askingfor money. I phoned again and no vanhas come out. It is time the communitystands together to rid our society of thisevil that wants to take over.

Mystery plant is ‘a bromeliad’A reader named Jenny recentlyrequested that People’s Post readershelp her identify a plant that isgrowing in her friend’s garden in FishHoek (24 February).

She described it as follows: the outer“leaves” are pink and the little flowerson the inside are yellow.

The leaves are fleshy with sharpspikes along the edges, and the flowers(pink parts) seem to be hidden under-neath.People’s Post has received the

following responses from readers:. The picture of a flower growing in

a Fish Hoek garden is a BilbergiaNutans, commonly called Queen’sTears. It is one variety of bromeliads,a species of epiphytic plants, whichare forest growing plants and get theirnutrition from leaves. This falls intothe cup formed by the leaves and rotin the water trapped by the cup. Theyonly flower once, but produce sideshoots that will flower when they arebig enough. The parent plant willeventually die back. – Amory Borwick. Another reader who called agrees it

is a Queen’s Tear..An anonymous reader who called

People’s Post says it is a pineappleplant and they come from the bromeli-ad family. However, she says, it is nota Queen’s Tear.. This is a Bilbergia. I have three

pots crowded with them in Bergvliet. –Pat. The flower is a Bilbergia nutans. It

is of the epiphytic bromeliad, whichgrows in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentinaand Uruguay.

The ‘leaves’ referred to in thepicture, are, in fact, its bracts. It is adistant relative of the ineapple (brome-liaceae family). – Yvonne Misplon. It is a Beschorneria yuccoides, a

species of succulent plants belongingto the family Asparagaceae, subfamilyAgavoideae. – Johan du Plooy, Scape-man Landscaping. The plant is a type of Bilbergia,

which belongs to the bromeliad family.I do not know exactly which one, thatis its variety name. – GeraldineWalden. The flower comes from a family of

plants known as urn plant or bromeli-ads which originates from SouthAmerica and a small section intropical Africa. They are monocotyle-dons and interestingly the pineapplebelongs to the bromeliad family. Theyare often called urn plants due to theirability to hold water like an urn. Thespecies in question that the readerwanted identified is called Queen’sTears (bilbergia nutans). –- LucindaHoldridge, Constantia Hills

Major funders of grassroots programmes should ques-tion whether they’re basing decisions of aid on pre-1994 perceptions. The noble National Student Fi-

nancial Aid Scheme has been hamstrung by corruption.And while private donors continue to fill the gap, most

of the funding goes to the same schools. It looks good onthe corporate CSI budget for government photo opportuni-ties to help those perceived to be in need. But how do youknow if tangible needs are being met? These perceptionsare legion and feed the inequalities which are perpetuatedthrough a system of skewed decision-making in education,employment and funding. Of course many citizens remaintrapped by the barbed wire set by apartheid.

And, yet, are some of us more equal than others?How long do post-apartheid generations have to live in

the shadow of labels, such as “disadvantaged” or “previ-ously disadvantaged”? It is rich to assume all children at-tending previously advantaged schools happen to be theoffspring of well-to-do parents. Not every white child isrich. Not every black child is poor. These are inconvenienttruths. It would behove donors to launch investigations in-to genuine need and come face to face with ground levelreality. But that would require bravery, commitment andcourage – and getting out of multi-level plush offices.

It would surprise the corporate decision-makers to findthe leafy suburbs have people who are battling to makeends meet in this depressed economy. And many who pleadpoverty while living in townships have far more disposa-ble income than is declared.

It is time to act on conviction. This would be a step to-wards real equality in this new South Africa.

Without authentic action our country will not move intoa position of equal distribution of wealth. We will not builda non-racial nation with a true middle-class to oil thewheels of the economy. And other nations will continuewooing our sharp minds with offers neither governmentnor the private sector could compete with.

At best, we can only hope for a thready pulse on the heart-beat of our economy.

NEW WATERS

The sky is thelimit for CanLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Timebomb, the first single off Can Sky-lark’s new EP, Overdrive, has alreadycharted on Heart 104.9fm and received

airplay on commercial radio stations in theUnited States.This isn’t surprising, though, when you

consider that the hit waswritten by multi-plati-num award-winningsongwriter Pam Sheyne.Can travelled to Los

Angeles, America, lastyear to work with Pamwho is best known for herwork with pop heavy-weights like ChristinaAguilera, Cyndi Lauperand Elton John. In fact,Pam was the writer be-hind Christina’s famousGenie in a bottle and locallistenerswill also alreadyhave heard her work inthe song Lifeline shewrote for Elvis Blue.It was Can’s vocal coach who set her up

with Pam and “before I knew it, I was board-ing a plane and on my way to California”.The song is a bit of a collaborative effort andCan says: “We just went into studio and Ti-mebomb was born.”Overdrive, and with it, Timebomb, marks

a change in music direction for Can.“I’m very excited because I’m venturing

into uncharted waters,” she says. Can re-leased her first album, Pure, in 2012. Thistime around, though, she’s being a littlemore adventurous with her sound.She says she decided to fuse the integrity

of “the old Can Skylark”, in terms of vocalability and her stage performances, with amore “programmed” and edgy sound.“It’s a young and fresh kind of sound.”

The release of Overdrivecomes just a few monthsafter Can released anotherchart-topping track, Sohigh, which she wrote andrecorded with SA Idolsmusical directorRJBenja-min.The song was already a

bit more pop-driven thanher usual soulful sound.“As with any and every-

thing in life, evolutiontakes place. Therefore, asan artist, I firmly believein evolving and not to evergo down as a copy of my-self.”Overdrive is a taste of

what’s to come from Can when she releasesher new full-length album later in the year.In themeantime, she hopes to tour nation-

ally and internationally and directs fans toher Facebook page to stay up to date withher performance dates and plans.V Visit www.peoplespost.co.za to see some of thehighlights from Can’s Overdrive launch show at theRoxy Revue Bar.

Can Skylark is exploring a newsound with her EP, Overdrive.

You can’t call her Jou Ma SeJou Ma Se Comedy Club has a new name,but the same heart.Renamed the Cape Town Comedy Club,

founder and co-owner Kurt Schoonraadsays: “This is quintessentially a coming-of-age story.”The brand was first created in 2005 and

part of the Cape Town Festival, as a tongue-in-cheek “Pop up Comedy Club”. In 2007, theclub moved to the Albert Hall inWoodstock,whereKurt’s idea to provide a regular, repu-table stand-up clubwaswelcomedwith openarms by Cape Town’s laugh-craving popula-ce. Word soon spread, and Jou Ma Se Come-dy Club became known as the mother of allCape Town comedy clubs and home to someof the country’s greatest talent. The clubmo-

ved to TheRiver Club inObservatory in 2010until October 2013. In November 2013 thebrand found a permanent home at the histo-ric Pumphouse at the V&A Waterfront.After a successful first year at the club’s

new home, themanagement team decided torename the club toCapeTownComedyClub.“Onreflection thenamechange seems like

a natural thing to do. It feels like the brandis all grown up now and the new name re-flects that,” Kurt explains.V The Cape Town Comedy Club hosts comedy nightsfrom Wednesdays to Sundays. Tickets cost R95 forWednesday and Thursday night shows and R120 forweekend performances. Tickets are available at Com-puticket. Visit www.capetowncomedy.com for theclub’s line up.

Cape Town All Stars continue to climbthe NFD table, while Milano Uniteddropped points at this weekend’s NFD

encounters.Milano United continue to struggle at

home and failed to secure maximum pointsagainst Baroka FC, despite taking a two-goallead. Eezy My Kinnes looked the more vi-brant side in the early stages of the match,and ultimately took the lead in the 20th min-ute through Ganief Stellenboom, followinga scramble inside the 18-yard area.

Four minutes later, the visitors thoughtthey had levelled matters, but Hlabane Ku-tumela’s effort was ruled out as offside.

Baroka found their confidence late intothe opening half, and once they did, they cre-

ated a number of opportunities of their own,but were denied by the safe hands of goal-keeper Lee Langeveldt. The Kinnes made it2-0 in the opening minute of the second peri-od when Deniro Stanley caught the visitorssleeping at the back. However, in the 62ndminute, Irvin Shibure gave his side a lifelinewhen he pulled one back from a free headerinside the danger area.

Things only got worse for the hosts whendefender Chad Robertson got shown astraight red for an off-the-ball incident.

Baroka took full advantage of the extraman on the field, and did extremely well tohold onto possession and stroked the ballaround beautifully in search of the equali-zer. A minute from time the visitors were re-warded with a penalty, to which captain GiftMotupa made no mistake to convert as he

helped his side to snatch a point in their 2-2draw.

Meanwhile, Cape Town All Stars contin-ued their scintillating form when theyclaimed a 2-0 win over Royal Eagles. Twosecond half goals by the in-form AmigoMemela was enough to maintain his side’sfourth position on the NFD table.

FC Cape Town managed to scrape a singlepoint from Witbank Spurs, when theyplayed to a 2-2 draw at Parow Park. Spursinitially took a two-goal lead into the break,before the African Beasts fought back toclaim a draw.V Visit www.capetownfootball.co.za for more matchreports and football news.

A group of about 20 friends belonging todifferent running clubs in theWesternCape, will be ‘Chafing for Dreams’ dur-

ing the upcoming Old Mutual Two OceansHalf marathon (Omtom).“We decided to run in aid of a community-

based organisation in appreciation of thecommunity’s involvement in supportingroad runners when we are participating inroad races – whether it is by cheering us onor doingduty atwater stations on the route,”says Amorett Truebody, one of themembersof Chafing for Dreams.“TheOmtommakes provision for running

for a specific charity, but we decided to se-lect a charitable organisationwithin our im-poverished community with its scarce re-sources.“But before we selected the beneficiary of

our charity initiative, we decided on a namefor our group of running friends.Aftermuchdiscussion we decided on Chafing forDreams. It actually has a two-fold signifi-cance for us.We chose chafing becausemostof us only started with road running a yearor two ago. So, this half marathonwill causea lot of chafing and inconvenience to uswhile running, but we are prepared to sufferand endure discomfort for a worthy cause.Furthermore, we added the word dreams,because with limited resources community

organisations find it difficult to realise theirdreams or achieve items on their wishlists.By running for aworthy cause,we can assista community-based organisation in realis-ing some of their dreams. Yes, we will bechafing for dreams,” says TruebodyTheir beneficiary is Sherwood Park Spe-

cial Care Centre for kids suffering from se-vere mental disorders, trying to instil somedignity in these kids who are many timesforgotten by society at large. The centre isfounded on Islamic principles, but their loveand compassion is showered unselfishly ontheir 50 learners from various religiousbackgrounds.“We will be running the Old Mutual Two

Oceans Half marathon on Saturday 4 April,and each one of uswant to be sponsoredwithR50 for each completed kilometre.
