A request to close up a Parkwood canal,which held a safety risk, has finally been
approved and a fence erected.The canal, running along and forming
part of the Big Lotus canal found on Black-bird Street, was reported by a resident afterthe safety hazard was realised.According to residents in the canal sur-
rounds the incomplete bridgewas oftenusedby vagrants.Resident Grant Slinger says, although the
fence has been erected, it has done nothingfor safety around the canal.“It is still wide open on the side so some-
body could still fall down there. Having astraight barrierupdoesnothing tokeep chil-dren from playing there,” he says.Slinger says he knows of vagrants using
the bridge as shelter.“The bridge also attracts unsavoury char-
acters at all times during the day. We knowof people sleeping under the bridge as welland that is no place for anybody to sleep orfeel safe,” Slinger says.A complaint had been sent to the City of
Cape Townby resident KeithBlake inwhichhe voiced his concern with the previousstate of the bridge.“I noticed that the one side of this very
highbridgehadnowall and on the other sidea yellow plastic type of wall. Further downthe canal, facing north, I saw another bridgeand this had solid walls on both sides of theroad. I then heard that a child a few yearsago drowned in this canal and, the way it isnow, the residents of Parkwood (sober or un-der the influence) and the energetic chil-dren’s lives are in danger,” Blake pointedout in his letter.Since the letter was sent, Blake received
correspondence from the City that the issue
had been addressed.Brett Herron, mayoral committee mem-
ber for Transport, says work to secure thebridges along the Big Lotus canal was com-pleted in May.He adds the particular bridge inBlackbird
Street cost R12 561.“The total cost for securing all of the foot-
bridges that form part of this project cost
R117 654. All of the footbridges along the Lit-tle and Big Lotus canal within the GrassyPark area are included in the maintenanceprogramme. Currently the embankmentalong the canal between Duck and Stintroads is being closedoffwitha security fenceline,” Herron adds.V What are your thoughts?

Crime incidents in Pelican Park have beenon the rise to the dismay of residents whofear for their safety.According to one resident who did not
want to be named out of fear of victimisationvandalism has increased over time.“We noticed sinceNovember last year just
after the new housing development was in-troduced that crime has been escalating. Wedon’t know what else to do anymore and wefear for our safety,” she says.The resident recalls an incident twoweeks
ago when she was home alone.“I heard a loud bang outside,” she says.She thought it was her neighbour’s chil-
dren getting up to “mischief”. She wanted toconfront her neighbour the next morning.“As I came out I saw a large broken brickin my driveway where my car normallyparks,” she says.“I then went over to my neighbour to con-
front him, thinking that his grandchildrenwere playing. He then explained the wholestory to me,” she continues.Her neighbour says he spotted four men
trying to vandalise a light pole in LoerieRoad the previous night.“My neighbour says he then chased these
guys after calling his brother. They couldnot find the guys but it seems they returnedin retaliation. They tried to gain access tothe property and this is when they threw abrick into my yard,” she explains.She says although the incidentwas report-
ed to the Grassy Park police station the po-lice have not yet responded to the call.“We do not know what to do anymore be-
cause whether you speak to the police orraise issues with the mayor on her hotline,things just do not change,” she says.The Grassy Park police did not comment

City warns against‘buying’ housingEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The City of Cape Town has urged resi-dents not to fall victim to housing scams
which have been reported in some parts ofthe city.
Benedicta van Minnen, mayoral commit-tee member for human settlements, saysthat victims should report it to the police.
“It has been confirmed that some resi-dents have fallen victim to these scams andhave indeed ‘bought’ land or housing unitswhich were promised to them through theseillegal sales,” says Van Minnen in a state-ment.
The City confirms that scammers, whoclaim to be from the human settlements di-rectorate, have been operating with unau-thorised documents which contain theCity’s official logo.
It is alleged that once the promised hous-ing units or pieces of land have been “sold”,the culprits disappear with the money.
In some cases, it has been reported thatthe scammers even send an SMS “allocat-
ing” an erf number to the duped resident –but they have paid for a non-existent erf.
“It saddens me to hear about such cases,”continues Van Minnen.
“Residents must note that, should a per-son qualify in terms of the national criteriafor a subsidy, they must not pay any moneyto anyone to be placed on the housing data-base or to receive a house.”
Update databaseVan Minnen urges applicants to contact
their local housing office to update their de-tails on the housing database so that theycan be contacted easily when their housingopportunity arises. “I also ask those whoare not registered to find out whether theyqualify for a subsidised housing.”
Potential applicants can apply at a localhousing office, the City’s Wale Street walk-in centre or by visiting the housing kioskon the 2nd floor (concourse level) of theCivic Centre in Hertzog Boulevard. Resi-dents can also contact the housing call cen-tre on 021 444 0333 or apply online on theCity of Cape Town’s website.

He is just 17 years old and is already con-sidered a champion of sorts.
Faa’iq Gamieldien from Grassy Park on-ly started fencing in 2005 and is currentlyfourth-highest ranked u.20 men’s foilist inSouth Africa.
Faa’iq sayshis passion for the sport start-ed the moment he entered primary school.
“I was in Grade 1 when I first saw thesport. I was hooked immediately,” he says.
The flighty footed teen says although fen-cing is not a common sport, he enjoys itvery much.
“I used to play rugby as well but had tostop because injurieswould then impact onmy fencing performance. I have to be in topshape when competing, so had tomake sac-rifices between the two sporting codes,” hesays.
He adds the sport has opened doors forhim and he especially enjoys the travellingwhen competing internationally.
“I have seen many different countriessince I started competing professionally.The fun part also comes when I meet newpeople and familiarise myself with the dif-ferent countries,” he says.
Faa’iq,who is competing in theCommon-wealthFencing JuniorChampionships andthe inaugural Commonwealth Fencing Ca-det Championships in Cape Town thisweek, says he is ready to face his interna-tional competitors.
“I have confidence that my team and Iwill bring home gold. Although we will notunderestimate the competition, I know weare capable of taking gold,” he says.
The competition will take place at theUniversity of Cape Town’s sports centrefrom Saturday to Friday next week.
Garreth Bloor, mayoral committee mem-ber for tourism, events and economicdevel-opment, says the competition will drawparticipants from 14 countries.
“The City is proud to be the first Africanhost of the championships. This dynamicand fast-paced sport is enjoyed by people ofall ages,” Bloor says.
Fencing has three disciplines or weap-ons: Foil, epee and sabre. Each disciplinehas its own rules.
The sport comprises individual and teamevents. A team ismade up of fourmembers,consisting of three starting fencers and areserve. The combination of starting fen-cers and reserve changes according to op-position as the starting line-up is chosen tomatch and, hopefully, beat the opposition.
Faa’iq is part of a team of three WesternCape foilists who form the core of the u.20and senior national foil team. All are mem-bers of Fencing Western Cape.
Faa’iq has competed in one junior worldchampionship, one junior African champi-onship and last year’s Youth Africa Games.
His teammate, Robert McGregor fromConstantia, is 19 and is currently the topranked u.20 men’s foilist in the country. Hehas competed in five juniorworld champion-ships and two juniorAfrican championships
and has been fencing for 10 years.Another teammate, Alexander Collings
from Claremont, is 18 and is currentlyranked third among u.20 men’s foilists inSouthAfrica. He has competed in twoworldchampionships and two junior Africanchampionships and started fencing in pri-mary school.

“Flower arrangement is about the wayyou feel. Your flowers must talk to
someone and they shouldn’t feel sad or lookunrealistic.”This is what Edith Rule, a follower of the
Ikenobo school of flower arranging, be-lieves. Rulewas speaking at the Ikebana andbonsai exhibition at the University of CapeTown Irma Stern Museum which was heldlast week.The flowers in the exhibitionwhere putup
by her students in freestyle form arrange-ments.Rule believes flowers are the way people
communicate with nature.“By freestyle we mean these flowers are
able to do what you like them to do. Youmake them look the way you want. Makethem communicate. They must talk to youabout the seasons and they are an expres-sion of what’s happening. Flower arrange-ment is about how you feel, it’s a connectionbetween you and what is happening in theworld,” she says.Originally a Japanese concept, Ikebana
means living flowers and is the Japaneseterm for flower arranging. It had its originin Buddhism in China and Korea. It broughtabout, through the centuries, a refined artwhich was originally practised by priestsand noblemen and in later centuries by Jap-anese in all walks of life. It became less for-malised over more centuries and is todaypractised by enthusiastic volunteers ofmany different nationalities.Rule adds that to do flower arrangement
properly one must be aware of your chosenmaterials, their space and their surround-ings.“Some flowers won’t do well in the house
and some work perfectly on a coffee table.
Just know and understand your environ-ment. This will allow your flower to talk toyou thewayyouwant it. Some flowersmightbe too big for a house and more suitable fora public space. Flower arrangement is amodern thought into a modern feeling. It’sa way of communication and to expressyourself,” she adds.To create beautiful ikebana the selection
of different kinds of plant material demandsan experienced eye and considerable techni-cal skill in order to create a kind of beautythat cannot be found in nature.Thys Klem, exhibitor of the bonsai, says
one of his trees, a wild olive, is 40 years old.

A training school, B-All Academy, hosteda two-day school holiday programme
last week in which 30 pupils from threeschools participated.Pupils fromCedar, Grassy Park and Port-
land high schools were trained in improv-ing memory – being able to remember andprocess information important for theirschoolwork. The pupils were also taughthow to perform complicated operations andgiven language training.A pupil from Portlands High School in
Mitchell’s Plain, Ruwayda Rhode, says itwas a good and informative programme.“I have learnt how to outsmart my calcu-
lator and how to study better than before.This will not make me improve my grades
at the end of the year butwill be a life lessonfor tasks,” says Rhode.Lameez Fortune, a Grade 11 teacher at
Grassy Park High School, says it was some-thing the pupils really needed.“The pupils were blown away; motivated
by this interactive and unforgettable learn-ing experience,” he says.Bradley de Kock, founder of B-All, which
is based at Shawco in Kensington and hasbeen hosting this event annually since 2012,says it is away of giving back to the commu-nity as well as a way to make learning fun.“Most schools in the underprivileged
communities never get such an opportuni-ty. So this is our way to make them havehope and equip them with skills that theycan use in their day-to-day lives and goingaround their tasks at school much easierwith more confidence,” he says.
Thirty pupils from three Cape Town high schools attended a twoday BAll holiday programme. They say it was very informative to learn, among other things, how to improve yourmemory.

LEGAL DEDUCTIONS FROM SOCIAL GRANTS
The SASSA Payment Card
Which Deduction Is Legal?
How can SASSA assist social grant beneficiaries with illegal deductions?
Safety tips for all social grant beneficiaries:
one
0800 60 10 11
Western Cape Helpline @ (021) 469 0235 or 0800 60 10 11.
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), would like to provide communities with the
following information regarding social grant deductions:
The SASSA branded payment card, was introduced to allow social grant beneficiaries the convenience of
accessing their social grant anywhere and at any time. The SASSA payment card is a debit card and
allows for cash to be withdrawn from ATM's, purchases to be made from suppliers and legal deductions to
be made. The introduction of the SASSA payment card into the banking system unfortunately also
provided an opportunity for social grant beneficiaries to be exploited through unauthorized deductions.
Before the social grant is paid into the bank account of a beneficiary only deduction is allowed to be
made for a funeral policy, which may not exceed 10% of the total value of the social grant. This premium is
deducted by SASSA before the social grant is paid to the beneficiary and then paid over to the relevant
insurance company.
Once the social grant is paid into the bank account that is linked to the SASSA debit card, legal deductions
instituted by financial entities will take effect for purchases that were made ie: airtime, electricity, micro-
loans, credit instalments, policy premiums etc. Any disputes should be resolved directly between the social
grant beneficiary and the entity that instituted the deduction.
Social grant beneficiaries are requested to report any illegal deductions to the nearest SASSA
office/service point where they will be assisted to complete a claim form so that the matters can be
investigated. Alternatively beneficiaries can contact the SASSA call centre @ where
SASSA staff will record the relevant details and refer the matter for investigation. Where beneficiaries have
not authorized deductions or for their SASSA cards/account details to be used by others, the deducted
amounts will be paid back to them. This is usually done within a period of 3 working days. Should any
social grant beneficiary not receive the required assistance from a SASSA office or staff member this must
be reported to the office manager or the
• Do not to respond to SMS messages offering airtime, electricity and other services. By responding
to these messages, beneficiaries are actually taking on a "subscription" service and the amounts
will be deducted off the bank account through the EFT debit system every month.
• Do not use your SASSA payment card as security for loans and to purchase any financial services
products.
• Do not authorize deductions to be made against your card except for the one funeral policy
deduction that should not exceed 10% of the social grant value.X1Q9NXFW-QK070715

Sax man shareshis journey in notesGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
The streets of Elsies Rivermay be betterknown for crime and gangsterism butthe smooth saxophone sound of Don-veno Prins has proved that music canempower.On Friday and Saturday you will get
the chance to discover that journeywhen he hosts From Elsies to the worldat the Baxter Concert Hall.It’s a journey that is still on a positive
path but, like so manymusicians on theCape Flats, it started in the church, ledtoChristmas bands and eventually tour-ing the world.“When I was still in school I never
thought that thiswould bemybread andbutter,” he says. “I always loved music,but it was only when I worked for Shop-rite that one day I realised that workingin the retail industrywas notwhat I wasborn todo. I remember clockingouthalf-way throughmy shift and I never lookedbackandhere I am todaydoing the thingthat I love so much and the bonus is I’mgetting paid for it.”Clocking out on that fateful day was
the best gift that local music was given.
HighlightsJoining Abdullah Ibrahim’s jazz pro-
gramme led to his ability flourishing, get-ting chosen to be part of the National YouthBand and touring to many festivals acrossthe world, but since then he has become astaple of the South African music scene.Best known for his performances in pro-
ductions such as Intimate nights chapter II,Love, jazz & duets andMusic alla Kaap, he’salso worked alongside renowned local art-ists such as Lloyd Cele, Loyiso Bala, JimmyDludlu, JudithSephuma,PJPowers andLa-dysmith Black Mambazo.“It’s always been exciting toworkwith all
these musicians but one of the highlights ofmy career was when I got the opportunityto perform with Jonathan Butler. Also re-cording with Kirk Whalum on his latestGospel according to jazz chapter 4was a phe-nomenal experience.”With this showat theBaxterhe is inviting
audiences to discover his journey in music.“This show and the process of creating it
has been so empowering and fresh to me.“Manymusicians tend to be too comforta-
ble behind their instrument, but this showallows me to showcase not just my musicalskills but also my storytelling abilities.
“This show has also kind of forced me todig a bit deeper into my heritage to find outexactly where I come from and the impactit had on where I’m now.”Inmore recent years,Donvenohas settled
into the chair of musical director for pro-ductions such asBlood brothers,Radio clas-sics, Kat and the kings, and 3 wise men.
Positive musicBut he still wants to play a role in mento-
ring young people to discover the joy andempowering force of music. Since 2009 hehasbeenpart of theDelftYouthMusicAcad-emy, training underprivileged youth toread and perform all genres of music.“Positive music can definitely play a big
role in guiding our youth away from nega-tive influences.”FromElsies to theworld is directed byAli-
stair Izobell and includes original com-posedmusic. Itwill be performed inEnglishand Afrikaans.Tickets are R120 at Computicket on

The South African nationaldarts championship is cur-rentlyunderway inJohannes-
burg until its conclusion on Fri-day.
The first national champion-ships were held in Cape Town in1993, which served as the platformfor Darts South Africa (DSA) to beformed through the unification ofall the darting districts and associ-ations in South Africa.
TheWesternCape is representedby four affiliated districts whichform the federation: Cape Town,West Coast, Cape Winelands andEden.
Cape Town Darts is made up ofnine associations, including two-time defending inter-districtchampion Peninsula Darts Associ-ation (PDA).
The other associations are: Ath-lone, Mitchell’s Plain, NorthernSuburbs, Ocean View, South Pen-
insula, Southern Suburbs, Sti-kland and the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
The DSA tournament formatconsists of an inter-regional andinter-district four-a-side competi-tion in which players compete inboth doubles and singles play. Theinter-district competition has sev-en divisions.
Peninsula will be leading thecharge of the Cape Town teams inthe inter-district competition,where they will be chasing an un-precedented third title in a row.
They are unbeaten for the pasttwo year.
TheWesternCapewomen’s teamtook national honours in the inter-regional competition last year,while the men’s team finished asthe runners-up in their division.
Peter Bowers, manager of thePDA men’s team, is confident thatthe team is ready to defend its na-tional title.
Frank Avenant, Lesley Beukes,JasonErasmus,ElroyDirks, Jason
Hendricks, Franklyn Miller, SeanShaw and Ashwin Adams will berepresenting PDA at this year’stournament.
Avenant will also compete in theInternational World Darts tourna-ment inTurkey inOctober and rep-resent South Africa there.
Warren Hansen, Cape TownDarts’s transformation official andPDA’s vice-chairperson, echoesBowers’ optimism.
“The only challenger to thethrone is the Western ProvinceDarts Association.
“Western Province has four
players in the Western Cape DartsFederation team as well.”
Hansen also highlights top play-ers in the Cape Town district whocouldmakean impact in this year’sinter-district tournament: “Play-ers who are performing very welland are on top of their game in theregion are Wesley Daries andMar-thinus Grobelaar.
“These two gentlemen were thetwo top performers at the WesternCape Darts Federation trials. Bothplayers are from Cape Town Dartsandwill be representing theWPDAin the inter-district competition.
“The women who are perform-ing very well are Yolanda van Roo-yen from Cape Town Darts, whowill also be representing SouthernSuburbs Darts Association at thenational darts tournament, andMaxi Keet of the Cape Winelandsregion in Paarl,” he says.
Van Rooyen, along with youthplayer Tayla Carolissen, will bejoining Avenant in Turkey as theCape Town locals fly the flag forSouth Africa.
The next Darts South Africacompetition will be hosted inBloemfontein next year.
