Patients try out horse playMove over, man’s best friend.
There’s a new animal bringingcomfort and treatment to patients,specifically individuals with men-tal health problems.Equine assisted psychotherapy
(EAP) is being piloted at Valken-berg hospital.Sixmale forensic patients,main-
ly with a diagnosis of schizophre-nia, have been selected for the pi-lot, says Nafisa Abdulla, chief oc-cupational therapist atValkenbergHospital.“These patients were socially
withdrawn and did not engagespontaneously, they had no majorcognitive deficits and someof themhave a history of aggressive behav-iour,” she says.
Pilot projectOver an eight week period, pa-
tients are able to interact with thehorses andparticipate in therapeu-tic exercises via grooming or set-ting out obstacles, either in pairsor in groups.“The aim of the pilot project is to
improve theparticipants’ ability towork and function in a group, de-crease irritability and aggressivebehaviour, while improving inter-personal and social skills.“Although minor, my team and
I have seen distinctive improve-ments in the selected patients dur-ing the course of the programme,”says Abdulla.With similar social and respon-
sive behaviour to humans, horseshave been noted to be a hugely ben-eficial mechanism in therapy ses-sions for individualswith avarietyof emotional and mental health is-sues, says Fiona Bromfield, a trus-tee at the Equinox Trust.The Trust is a registered non-
governmental organisation (NGO)that specialises in EAP and equine
assisted therapy (EAT).Although there are many forms
of EAT, EAP specifically focuseson the emotional and mentalhealth of participants.“EAP is an innovative and crea-
tive method for addressing a widerangeof therapeutic andemotionalneeds in individuals. It is a short-term, collaborative effort betweena mental health professional and ahorse professional. Strategic activ-ities are established for the partici-pant to partake in with the horse,excluding riding,” explains Brom-field.Although animal-assisted thera-
py isn’t uncommon, horses re-spondandreact differently to otheranimals, she explains.Because horses are herd and
prey animals, they are highly at-tuned to changes in non-verbalcommunication in order to main-tain the safety of the herd.
Horse language“Horses are able to accurately
assess the state of being of an indi-vidual and communicate it non-verbally. Thus, these animalsmake great companions for psy-chotherapy, because they can mir-ror and instantly respond to hu-
man behaviour. There’s also ahealing bond that can develop be-tween humans and horses. EAPutilises this relationship with thehorse as a tool to mirror a partici-pant’s experiences and facilitatechange and development.“Participants are able to com-
pare their experiences with thehorses to their real-life experien-ces.”Bromfield says unlike tradition-
al talk therapy, EAP is a uniquemethod which enables partici-pants to learn about themselveswhile they interact with the horse.The observed feelings, behav-
iours and patterns are discussed.“EAP isunique in that it doesnot
require clients to ride or get on tothe horses; instead, clients are pre-sented with semi-structured tasks,such as to catch and halter thehorse, move it around and get thehorse to walk through and over ob-stacles. It is the interpretationsthat participants assign to the in-teractionswith the horses that pro-vide vehicles formaking therapeu-tic improvements,” she explains.The therapist, in turn, takes the
participants’ interpretations fromtheir horse interactions and craftsmetaphors, which are used duringand after the therapy sessions tohelp participants with developingand retrieving emotional and be-havioural responses.
Interpretation“This metaphorical process is
self-reflective, encouraging partic-ipants to develop insight and sup-porting the identification and ex-pression of thoughts, behaviourand emotions. It is the storieswhich emerge from these meta-phors that enable our programmesto have a lasting impact and enablethe client to take what he learnswhen interacting with these hors-es back to his life,” she says.The process engages partici-
pants on a physical, mental andemotional level simultaneously,Bromfield says.“As humans we remember 20%
of what we hear, 50% of what wesee and 80% of what we do; thus,our actions are the reasons experi-ential learning is so effective.”The Equinox Trust team has
worked with a variety of individu-als, including children, families,recovering addicts, abusedwomenand individuals looking for an al-ternative to traditional therapies.
Equine therapy is being piloted at Valkenberg hospital. Here are Nafisa Abdulla, chief occupational therapist atValkenberg, Fiona Bromfield, trustee at the Equinox Trust, Dr Marc Roffey, psychiatrist at Valkenberg, Noeline Nune,occupational therapy technician at Valkenberg, Rowdah Hawtrey, senior occupational therapist at Valkenberg, andSarah Garland, trustee at the Equinox Trust.
Record-breaking numbers of visitors tosome of the city’s top attractions may meanthis festive season has been one of CapeTown’s busiest holiday periods ever.The cableway and Robben Island saw
soaring visitor numbers, with other big at-tractions also sharing positive forecasts.The cableway had a record December
with 28%more visitors than in 2014, report-edly because the weather was extremelygood and they were open every day.Robben Island Museum recorded the
highest increase in visitors in December –43% more tourists than in December 2014.More tickets were sold than the highest
recorded since 2010 of 43 208.The V&A Waterfront’s visitor figures,
measured at the Victoria Wharf ShoppingCentre only, have also shown an increasefor December compared to the previousyear. The Waterfront also welcomed about180 000 visitors on New Year’s Eve.In 2014 24m people visited theWaterfront,
and all indications are that last year’s num-bers will be roughly the same.Kirstenbosch welcomed almost 115 000
people in December, excluding the popularSummer Sunset concert audiences.Since the opening of the tree canopywalk-
way or Boomslang, Kirstenbosch has seen
an increase in annual visitors from 800 000to just over 1m.The increased numbers of visitors can be
attributed to a variety of factors, includingevents such as the Sevens rugby series andthe England vs SA cricket test.The busy festive weeks in December are
very important to the tourism industry, butthe summer season stretches from Octoberto after Easter, explains Cape Town Tour-ism spokesperson Nicole Biondi.“We are very happy with the December
school holiday period and look forwardwith cautious optimism to a successful sum-mer season still ahead.”

The suspect was found in 3rd Avenue andwas wanted for a case of housebreakingin December.“Fredericks arrested the 33-year-old
suspect for the housebreaking case. Thesuspect then offered to give the officerR250 to let him go. Fredericks opened acase of bribery against the suspect. Themoney was handed to Grassy Park po-lice,” Kleinsmith says.On Wednesday 30 December at about
13:00 the Grassy Park crime preventionunit arrested a 24-year-old woman afterfollowing up on information that drugswere being sold at a residence in IvyRoad,Parkwood, says Kleinsmith.“Upon searching the premises 43 stoppe
of dagga and a parcel were found.”Another home was searched in Park-
side, Parkwood on the same day at 23:30.“Several rounds, eight 5.56, five 7.65 and
one 3.57, were found. A 31-year-old manwas arrested on charges of possession ofammunition.”Philip Bam, spokesperson of the Com-
munity Police Forum (CPF), says all ef-forts to curb crime are appreciated by thecommunity.“However, the law enforcement pro-
gramme appears to be determined by thegangs and criminals. Police resourceswere focused on certain areas in the polic-ing precinct, leaving vast areas vulnera-ble to housebreaking and theft. The actionis too much of a hit-and-run nature andnot sustainable,” Bam says.“Better all-round results could be
achieved by spreading the forces through-out the policing precinct, instead of focus-ing on areas where the shootings takeplace. Once the high police presenceleaves the area, the shootings start allover again. In spite of the police presencein the gang-ridden parts, the guns still re-main. We need yet to see the many guns,handguns and high-calibre rifles being re-moved from our area in such numbersthat will make the area safer for our com-munity,” Bam says.He congratulates Grassy Park police for
the drug busts made during the festiveseason, adding that drug busts are a“great contributor to frustrating the drugtrade in the area”.“However, one needs to ask how many
of the main drug dealers were apprehend-ed, charged and convicted. It is commonknowledge that the conviction rate for themain drug dealers is virtually non-exis-tent. Our concern, also voiced by the com-munities living in the area, is that itwould appear that too many of the knowndrug dealers escape police attention andhence drugs flow back onto the streets,”he says.Bamsays theCPFwill be supporting the
police ingettingmore resources for thear-ea.“It is unacceptable that on some shifts
there are only two vehicles instead of aminimum of four. We will also do more tolift themorale ofmembers through appre-ciation initiatives. The CPF will also domore by mobilising the neighbourhoodwatches.”

Best results yet forChristel House SchoolCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The matric results celebrated by ChristelHouse School in Ottery last week were
particularly sweet because the pupils comefromCapeTown’smost disadvantaged areasandhad to overcome tough personal circum-stances to “make the grade”.Top matriculant Nathan Daniels from
Hanover Park achieved six distinctions. Hehopes to studyMedicine at the University ofStellenbosch next year.The school achieved a 97.5% matric pass
rate. It also obtained an 82.5%Bachelor passrate – its best result yet. This is considerablyabove the national average for Quintile 1-3schools of 32.5%.The 2015 matriculants also achieved 19
distinctions, and pupils are now going on tostudy Science, Law,Actuarial Science, Com-merce and Accounting, among other fields.Principal Ronald Fortune says he is very
proud of the class: “These results are quiteunheard of for studentswho live in suchpov-erty. At Christel House, we keep pushing theperformance bar higher and our teachersand pupils manage the most incredibleachievements. We used to be proud of our100% matric pass rate, then it became ourBachelor pass rate. Now we speak the lan-guage of distinctions,” Fortune beams.Christel House aims to provide quality ed-
ucation for pupils living in extreme poverty.Unlike many schools or programmes of thiskind, it does not select pupils on academicmerit but according to financial need. Only
pupils who are in dire financial circum-stances are considered.“Our results put us on par academically
with some of the best private schools in thecountry. This is particularly impressivewhen you consider that most of thoseschools actively recruit pupils onacademicmerit, whereas we are selecting pupilsbased on their financial need. It goes toshow that with the right support, any childcan do well at school – even if they come
from extremely disadvantaged communi-ties.”V For more information on Christel House visit http://christelhouse.org/our-schools/south-africa/.

Schools improve pass ratesCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
With amatric pass rate of 98.5% – just shortof its 98.6% pass rate achieved in 2011 –Grassdale obtained an impressive result inthe 2015 matric exams.The Grassy Park school also improved on
its 95.4% pass rate of 2014.Other schools in the Grassy Park area al-
so improved on their previous results, withFairmount boasting a 89.8% pass rate andGrassy Park High a 94.3% pass rate.Lotus Secondary also improved on its
46.2% pass rate in 2014 and achieved 63.4%.Pelican Park High obtained a 92% pass
rate, while Zeekoevlei experienced a dropin results – from 98.2% in 2014 to 91.3%.However, provincial education minister
Debbie Schäfer says it is important to en-sure the quality of passes.“Given the many challenges our educa-
tion system faces, improving the quality of
education is only possible through sus-tained interventions in our schools and thehardworkof thematrics, their teachers anddistrict officials. It is a multi-year process.“We are pleased that this effort is reaping
results,” she says.There is also growth in thenumberof can-
didates writing and passing Mathematicsand Physical Science in the province.Last year a record number of almost
13 000 matriculants passed Mathematics.The pass rate was 74.9%.In Physical Science, the numbers passing
increased from 11 000 in 2014 to 12 000. Phys-ical Science candidates achieved a 73.3%pass rate.Great emphasis is alsoplacedonensuring
pupils stay in school for as long as possible.“We are very encouraged by the improve-
ment in our rate of retention over the pastfive years. Last year the Western Cape yetagain managed to increase our retentionrate from 63.8% in 2014 to 66.8%,” she says.

National retail giant Pep, which has 70%of the school shoe market and over 57%
of the school uniform market in South Afri-ca, says it is committed to finding ways toease the increasing economic difficulty forits customers, who are the first to feel thestrain of rising prices of fuel, electricity andfood.
“Through our research over the years,one message that has been consistent fromour customers is that their children’s edu-cation takes priority,” explains NobesuthuTom, Pep’s marketing director.
“They will often compromise on otherthings to pay for school fees, transport toschool as well as schoolwear and station-ery.”
Pep has negotiated with its manufactur-ers to keep the prices of the entry-level Stu-dent Prince synthetic shoe at last year’s pri-ces in an attempt to help customers: R59.99for girls in sizes 8 to 1 and R64.99 for boysin sizes 8 to 1.
This shoe is manufactured under the PepStudent Prince label, to ensure that quality
standards associated with Student Princeare never compromised.
The shoe range also includes a higherquality leather shoe, which is expected tobe the lowest priced leather school shoe inthe market this year: R119.99 for girls (sizes9 to 1) and R129.99 for boys (sizes 9 to 1).
Managing director Leon Lourens says akey part of Pep’s social responsibility dur-ing back-to-school time is to help its custom-ers with the best possible prices on all uni-form items.
“Our constant aim is to bring down thecost of uniforms without compromising ourquality, while also maintaining stock levelsof all school uniform items throughout theyear.”
This year, a Grade 4 (entry-level) uniformis still under R100 at Pep.

Beaches get manyfeet, and drinksNICOLE MCCAIN

The amount of alcohol confiscated onbeaches skyrocketed this festive season.The City of Cape Town’s enforcement
staff confiscated almost 16 796 bottles of al-cohol from beachgoers, a marked increasein the volume of alcohol seized comparedwith the same period last year, which saw10 280 bottles confiscated.Nearly 40%of all confiscations took place
in theCity’sAreaEast,which covers beach-es between Gordon’s Bay and Monwabisi.Over 6 600 bottles were confiscated frombeachgoers in this area.Beachgoers in Sea Point and the beaches
fromHout Bay toMuizenberg had 5 400 bot-tles confiscated.Visitors to beaches fromStrandfontein to
Wolfgat accounted for just over 2 500 bot-tles.The possession and consumption of alco-
hol on beach areas is not allowed and of-fenders can get a R500 fine, says JP Smith,mayoral committee member for safety andsecurity.Over a dozen drowning incidents took
place on local beaches, compared to onlythree last year, says Richard Bosman, theCity’s executive director of safety and secu-rity.“The number of drowning incidents is ex-
tremely disconcerting. To be fair, thebeaches have beenmuch busier than usual,but this is not a statistic that sits well withus,” he says.“We have noticed that people are visiting
beaches after hours when lifeguards haveleft for the day and unfortunately therehave also been a number of incidentswherebathers have ignored safety warnings andgone swimming in unsafe areas. Drinking
on the beaches and unattendedminors alsoplayed a role,” he says.Soaring temperatures have seen an in-
crease in the number of beachgoersthroughout the season, says Bosman.“Weusually see amassive spike invisitor
numbers to the beaches on priority dayslike the Day of Goodwill and New Year’sDay, but this season the numbers were con-sistently high because of the hot weatherand also the extended holiday weekends.”Elsewhere, enforcement agencies and
other City departments dealt with a raft ofevents, including New Year’s Eve celebra-tions, the Newlands cricket test and theKlopse and Cape Malay Choir events.“I think that many people don’t realise
the intensity of the holiday season and thedemands placed on staff, infrastructure andother resources. For example, we had to re-unite 259 children with their families on asingle day – one of whom was separatedfromhismother for fourhours.Butwehavelearnt to dealwith issues of this nature and,overall, we coped extremely well,” he says.
Over 16 000 bottles of alcohol were confiscatedfrom beachgoers over the festive season.

A dripping tap could waste closeto 100F of water a day.
A recent heatwave, coupledwithother factors, could see further wa-ter restrictions being implementedin the city.Since the start of the new year,
level 2 water restrictions havebeen in place.This will result in price adapta-
tions linked to the 10% reductionin consumption by residents. Thismeans that 10% less water used ina month will cost the same as theprevious water bill. But if resi-dents use the same amount of wa-ter as before, they will be chargedmore than previously.If a resident uses 24kF of water
in a month this will cost themR294.62 under level 1 conditions.However, under level 2 conditions,10% less water (21.6kF) will costabout thismuch. The sameamountof water will now cost R344.75.Residents are therefore urged to
conserve water.As a result sewage charges will
also be affected as they are calcu-lated as being 70% of total waterused on the property up to a maxi-mum of 3500F.This is to further encourage wa-
ter savings, but also to cover thefixed costs necessary to continueproviding thewater and sanitationservice.

Resi-dents making use of boreholes orother sources are not exempt fromthis.. When watering gardens, parks,open spaces, etc. with alternativewater resources (e.g. boreholes,well-points, grey water re-use,treated effluent water, spring wa-ter and rain water harvesting) youare encouraged to do so only before09:00 or after 16:00 on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Saturdays.. If alternative water sources areused, all customers must ensurethat they display appropriate sig-nage clearly visible to the public.. Special users (e.g. golf coursesand schools) can apply to the City’sdirector ofwater and sanitation forexemption from any of the aboverestrictions by emailing a complet-ed special exemption applicationform to [email protected].. No automatic top-up systems areallowed for swimming pools. It isrecommended that all swimmingpools be covered by a pool cover toavoid evaporationwhennot in use.. Ornamentalwater fountains andwater features are to be operatedonly by recycling the water.
Restrictions applicable to residentialusers. Washing of cars (including rec-reational cars and watercraft) isonly allowed with hosepipes fittedwith automatic self-closingdevicesor with waterless products.. No washing or hosing down of
hard-surfaced orpaved areas withdrinking waterfrom a tap is al-lowed.. Residents are en-couraged to replaceall taps, showerheads and otherplumbing compo-nentswithwater-ef-ficient parts ortechnologies.. Residents whowish to apply for anexemption can ap-ply to the City’s di-rectorate.
Restrictions applica-ble to businesses. Watering ofplants in nurseries,farms, vegetablegardens, etc. forcommercial gainwill be exemptedfrom water restric-tions on applicationto the directorate.. When washingcars or equipment,use only water-effi-cient or water-recy-cling technologyand equipment orwaterless products.Display of water-saving and water-efficiencymessages is encouraged.. Informal car washes are to useonly buckets and not hosepipes.. Washing of paving and hard sur-faces with drinking water is pro-hibited. However, areas where pri-or permission in writing has beengranted (such as for abattoirs andfood processing industries) will be
exempt.. All taps, shower heads and otherplumbing components in publicplaces must be replaced with wa-ter-efficient parts or technologies.
Restrictions applicable to institu-tions and government departments.Watering of plants in council andother government nurseries will
be exempted from the wa-ter restrictions on applica-tion to the director ofwaterand sanitation.. Washing of cars is onlyallowed with hosepipes fit-ted with automatic self-closing devices, or withwaterless products.. No washing or hosingdown of hard-surfaced orpaved areas with drinkingwater froma tap is allowed..
