At the start of 2016, Clark entered the gatesof Fairmount High School as a matric stu-dent with the determination and vigour totake on the world. Like Clarke, there aremany blind learners who Lofob assiststhrough it’s support to inclusive educationprogramme.
Volkwijn adds that Lofob aims to assistthose who want to pursue their educationafter being declared blind.
“When one is blind and you do not havea matric certificate you face a double barri-er. And this is why we have embarked onworking with schools in the province andadapting these schools for blind or visuallyimpaired learners,” she says.
Fairmount High principal Terrence Klas-sen says Clarke is a pleasure to have at theschool adding that accommodating a visual-ly impaired pupil is a first for their school.
“When Clarke said she wanted to comeback to the school, we welcomed her backand we did not see her as one with an imped-iment. When we welcomed her back we didnot know the challenges we would face be-cause the school does not have the facilitiesand we did not have the rights. All we hadwas the relationship that was built over the
years with Lofob,” Klassen said.Despite these challenges, Fairmount
High assisted in Clarke’s integration as a vi-sually impaired pupil.
District governer for the Lions Club, SueLong, said she was “gobsmacked” byClarke’s achievements. “This does provethat even if you are differently abled, youcan reach the top,” Long said.
Clarke then accepted her devices sayingit was a “great privilege”, continuing tothank Fatima Molte the Lions Club as wellas the Lofob team.
“Also to my brother who is now my momand my dad. For me it was not easy to losea mom in a year like this. But to have mybrother by my side, everything is possible.For me it is a tough year but I try my bestto make my matric year a success.”
In an emotional thanks, Marlin Clarke,said it is a privilege and honour to have hisyounger sister in matric. “It was a dreamof my mother’s to have at least of her chil-dren complete matric. It’s a dream cometrue for our family. She is the baby of allof us and she has made us proud. We thankeveryone for what they have done for Jody,it really means a lot to us,” he says.
Jody Clarke, a blind matriculant at Fairmount High, received assistive devices on Thursday.The handover was made possible through role-players at League of Friends of the Blind inGrassy Park and the Lions Club of Bergvliet. PHOTO: CHEVON BOOYSEN

A group of disgruntled pension-ers gathered outside the Shares
Community Centre in Lotus Riveron Wednesday morning, staging apeaceful protest.The group of residents from Lo-
tus River gathered for a commoncause – to be given access to thehall they have been restricted ac-cess to.The Greet, Eat and Meet Seniors
(Gems) group say they just want tobe allowed back in the hall againfor their monthly gatherings.A foundermember of the organi-
sation, Shireen Isaacs, says they
have been struggling to get accessto the hall since October last year.“The hall has been undergoing
renovations since last year Octo-ber. Since thenwehavenot had theopportunity or privilege to use thehall,” she says.Gems is a group of seniors who
have been meeting monthly forabout a decade since its establish-ment during 2006, Isaacs explains.“We feed a group of about 50 eld-
erly residents every last Wednes-day of the month. But for the pastfewmonths this has not been possi-ble,” she says.Isaacs says they have contacted
the ward councillor Melanie Ar-endse to find out what brought
their “lock out” about but to datethey are yet to receive a satisfacto-ry answer.“I have contactedher on a fewoc-
casions asking her to assist withthematter but until today, nothinghas been done. Nobody even in-formed us of the renovations thatwill take place at the centre andnow we are basically locked outwith nowhere else to go,” Isaacssays.After contactingArendse and ex-
plaining their need for a venue tohost the elderly on the days whenthey get food, Isaacs says she wastold Arendse would arrange con-tainers.“She couldn’t even give a conclu-
sive answer on when this would beerected. In the meantime, ourGems sit without a venue.We havebeen denied access to the venue.The security gaurds that are on du-ty say they received orders fromtheir superiors that nobody is al-lowed on the premises,” Isaacssays.However, the pensioners say
they do not want the containers.Placards held up during the pro-
test read: “We want our hall”, “Wewant the hall, not a container”,Where do we Gems go now?”.Isaacs says they were given in-
formation that the centre belongsto somebody in the community butno names were given and priorconsultation regarding the signingover the hall was not communicat-ed to them.Local ward councillor Melanie
Arendse confirms the Shares Cen-tre is currently “under construc-tion”.“Due to this, noperson can enter,
This group does know this but it’svery difficult for them to accept.Social development took over thisbuilding because it was in a verybad state,” she says.She also confirms that a tender
was out for the building and is cur-rentlybeing renovated for anEarlyChildhood Development Centre(ECD).
“An ECD has taken the building.It is now up to the ECD to sign anagreement with Gems club if theywant tohost them. In themeantimeSocial Development is looking atthe space to erect containers tohost the Gems club,” she says.Arendse says due to the renova-
tions at the centre and electricalwork being conducted, they cannotrisk having anybody at the centre.“If anything happens, the City
will be responsible for it,” Arendsesays.

As runners and walkers traverse theroute of this year’s Slave Route Chal-
lenge, many will trace the footsteps oftheir ancestors and former slaves.This year’s Slave Route Challenge, of
which People’s Post is a media sponsor,will see participants giving honour to in-dividual slaves of the Cape’s past.Each runner will carry one of the 8000
names of slaveswho appear on a “columnof memory” at the Iziko Slave Lodge inthe city centre (“Slave names give run-nerswings”,People’s Post, 15March) dur-ing the race on Sunday 8 May.The race route takes runners past sev-
eral historically significant landmarks,such as the Castle of Good Hope, GrandParade, the Whipping Post, Old SlaveChurch, theSlaveTreePlaqueand the Izi-ko Slave Lodge.
Life as a slaveMooi Angela from Bengal, also known
as Ansla van Bengalen, was brought tothe Cape before the large-sale importa-tion of slaves and before the Slave Lodgewas even built.Shewas brought to the Cape by aDutch
East Indian official, Pieter Kemp, whobought her when stationed in the Batavi-an Republic.Returning from the Netherlands he
brought Angela with him and sold her inCape Town to Jan van Riebeeck in 1655.He in turn soldher toAbrahamGabbema,the Second-in-Command at the Cape, re-counts Angela’s descendent, Lucy Centli-vres.“A very special day inAngela’s life was
13 April 1666 when she was granted herindependence,” Centlivres says.
Angela petitioned the Governor togrant her a piece of land where she start-ed growing fruit and vegetables whichshe sold to passing ships.She was granted a plot in what is now
Castle Street, and would have traversedmany of the streets alongwhich the SlaveRoute Challenge passes.She became a successful farmer and
helped her sons on their farms in theDrakenstein area.“By the time she died shewas verywell
off and her daughter, Anna de Koning,married to Olof Bergh, was the richestwoman at the Cape. We could call her thefirst women entrepreneur at the Cape,”says Centlivres.
Remembering ancestorsAlthough uncertain who Angela mar-
ried first, in 1669 she married ArnoldusWillemsz Basson, the founding father ofall the Bassons in South Africa and Cent-livres’ forefather.The Slave Route Challenge is a time for

Are you man enough to tell theworld about the importantwomen in your life?An important essay competi-
tion has been launched to cele-brate the 60th anniversary ofthe August 1956 Women’sMarch. Themarch on the UnionBuildings in Pretoria was inprotest against the extension ofpasses to women by the apart-heid regime.
While many women-focusedcultural and political events arebeing planned to mark the con-tribution of SouthAfricanwom-en to the struggle for liberation,the call for essays is but one de-cisive way to bring the consid-ered voices of men into the mix.
Themotivation for this initia-tive is that ten years ago BeulahThumbadoo and Associates, apublishing company in Wood-stock, put together a book, “TheFace of the Spirit, illuminatinga century of essays by South Af-rican Women” for the Depart-ment of Arts and Culture.
“To mark the 60th anniversa-ry we would like to hear frommen; any and asmany SouthAf-rican men as are willing to takepart,” says Thumbadoo.
“Our theme is the struggles ofmen with women, so you canwrite about anything you be-lieve will make a difference andthat will add to our understand-ing of you.Do you have something you’d
like to say to your grandmother,mother, a formerwife, a currentpartner, a sister, an aunt, yourdaughter, or a former teacher?“Write to the women in your
life and tell them whatever youthinkmight help us all to under-stand each other better and cur-tail the polarity between us,”says ThumbadooThe essays that best portray
the personal concerns, hopesand desires of South Africanmen, and have the judges want-ing every South African to readthem in the interests of nationbuilding, will be shortlisted.The intention is that a selec-
tion of the best essays will bepublished in a book with theworking title “Words left Un-spoken”.V For more information and back-ground to this project go to www.beul-ahthumbadoo.co.za. Submissions of nomore than 2000 words can be emailedto [email protected].

Storm wreakshavoc in cityTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Someof the residents around theprovinceare still trying to recover following a
heavy storm last Friday.The Cape storm which caused havoc in
the city saw thundershowers with heavyrain and wind up to 150 km/ph and wide-spread floods.Areas like Constantia, Wynberg, Belhar
and Fish Hoek saw trees uprooted and fall-ing on buildings and cars. Roofs whereblown off in areas like Lavender Hill, HoutBay, Masiphumelele and Retreat. Floodedroads caused damage to property in Ken-sington and Wetton.St Augustine Cricket Club was one of the
buildings which was severely damaged,when the roof blewoff during the the storm.Fire and Rescue spokesperson, Charlotte
Powell, said the City’s Roads and StormWa-ter,Electricity andParksandForest depart-ments were attending to the incidents.ER24’s Cape Town branches were kept
busy following the severe storm. Paramed-
ics responded to eight motor vehicle colli-sions, which were most likely caused by se-verely flooded roads. They also assisted inblocking off flooded roads that posed a riskto commuters as well as trees which hadfallen across roads – such as on the N1,where a tree fell, and Rhodes Avenue inConstantia,where a tree fell onto an emer-gency service’s vehicle.ER24 urges commuters to take extra care
when driving on flooded roads:. Slow down and make sure you have
your headlights switched on.. Be careful of potholes that might have
filled with water which make it difficult tospot.
. Do not attempt to cross flooded low wa-ter bridges or areas that are severely flood-ed.
. Ensure your car’s windscreen wipersare in good working condition and ensureall your lights are working. Other vehicleswill find it difficult to see you in misty con-ditions.
. Obey the rules of the road and be pa-tient.

The City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Department will be completing a zero pressuretest on the water supply feeding the water supply zone in Grassy Park and Lotus River onWednesday 4 May 2016 and Pelican Heights on Thursday 5 May 2016.
This will result in the disruption of the water supply to these areas from 22:00 until 04:00 thefollowing morning.
The work has been planned carefully to ensure minimal disruption of the water supply in theaffected areas.
For maintenance and upgrading, the water supply network across the city is divided intoreticulation zones which are smaller and much more manageable sections of the largenetwork. This work forms part of the City’s Water Demand Management Plan and willsignificantly reduce the occurrence of pipe bursts and subsequent water losses.
Please store water in clean sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

Fabio O’Ryan-Paulo may only be in Grade8 at Claremont High but he’s already a
winner – and in the Guinness Book ofRecords.
The 13-year-old from Rondebosch Eastproudly shows off the certificate that he re-cently received to prove his accomplish-ment – building a two-block piston door inMinecraft in record time.If you’re not into online gamingyouwon’t
knowwhat this is all about, but he explainsthat Minecraft is an online educationalstrategy game about breaking and placingblocks.
“It started with gamers building struc-tures to protect againstmonsters, but as thegame grew players worked together to cre-atewonderful, imaginative things,” he said.
“Now you can build anything in your im-agination. You can even build whole coun-tries.”
Fabio saw the online challenge in Decem-
ber last year competing against thousandsof gamers. He posted his efforts onto the siteand the rest, as they say, is history.While there is no major prize, the young-
ster feels that it is still great to be acknowl-edged as a “world-beater”.“I enjoy playing because it shows me
what I can do with my imagination,” hesays.Mom, Bridget, added that Fabio makes
her very proud because he also excels aca-demically.“He was selected to participate in each
ScienceOlympiad at primary school aswellas receiving distinction in theAnnualHori-zon Maths competition last year where hewas 1 of 200 invited to an awards eveningat the Baxter,” she said.
“He is a logical thinker hence he excelsat this sort of activity. He’s always had aninterest in the Guinness record books andcurrently has 22 editions on his bookshelf.
“When I told him how proud I am of hisGuinness achievement all he said was“Why? It’s nothing! It’s not a big deal!”

Cape Town Society for the Blind (CTSB),one of South Africa’s premier empower-ment hubs of visually impaired citizens,is set to embark on a groundbreaking me-dia training project.
The project through an initiative of We-Can24 will equip 14 of CTSB’s studentswith a range of skills and a diploma incommunity journalism.
Media24’s flagship educational pro-gramme, WeCan24, has initialised theproject which will add to their existingskills training programs and will helpblind South Africans to enter the world ofjournalism.
The course will train visually impairedpeople to master a range of journalismskills. It ranges from interviewing people,collecting information and writing re-ports to layout and subediting.The project will focus on adapting the
existing WeCan24 journalism trainingprogramme to specifically cater for blindpeople’s uniqueneeds. TheWeCan24Com-munity Journalism Course is a level 5 Na-tional Certificate NQF.
WeCan24 provides learners and teach-ers with a keen interest in media with ba-sic journalism skills, including writingarticles, photography, and publishingvoice notes and videos. This freemultime-dia digital platform was launched lastyear and has since experienced phenome-nal growth. To date more than 200 schoolshave joined in the programme.
Michelle Botha, a career development
practitioner of CTSB, says the partner-ship is a “perfect fit”.“CTSB is seeking opportunities to
evolve the skills of their students and toequip them for placement in the privateand public sector, while WeCan24’s trackrecord of producing community journal-ists speaks volumes,” Botha says.Since 2011, CTSB placed 176 students in
the formal sector, informal sector, smallbusiness units, learnerships and skills de-velopment programmes.Adrie Jurgensen, Media24 Community
Services group manager and project man-ager for WeCan24, says the team is ex-tremely excited about the new project inassociation with CTSB. “This is a first-of-its-kind enterprise for the company andwe are proud to be involved in helping thevisually impaired community in thisway.“Bonita Blankenberg and Benedict Le-
teane, both blind people, have been ap-pointed as the project managers in chargeof driving the program for the visually im-paired and blind. We have given themcarte blanche to make the training as in-clusive as possible during the next threemonths and then we will start rolling itout.”
Botha says: “This superb initiative byMedia24 and our partnership with We-Can24 will empower CTSB to enlarge theskills base of our students and to move uscloser to our goal for 2015/2016 of placing50 of our evolving entrepreneurs in thepublic and private sector.”

History in the makingTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Chaeli Sports and RecreationClub (CSRC) in Plumstead is
over themoonbecause theirwheel-chair assisted activists will be par-ticipating in the 2016 Comradesmarathon in Durban later nextmonth.Chaeli Mycroft (21) and Anita
Engelbrecht (22) will be the firstwheelchair athletes ever to partici-pate in the Comrades Marathon.The 91st edition of the world’s
biggest and oldest ultra-marathonwill take place on Sunday 29 May.They will be assisted by their run-ning partners on the 89km uphillrun from Pietermaritzburg to Dur-ban.These two dynamic ability activ-
ists challenged the Comrades Mar-athon Rule (CMA) that stated “nowheelchairs or mechanical aids”would be allowed entry into theComrades.Mycroft, an ability activist and
adventurer who was born with ce-rebral palsy, is a spastic quadriple-gic and has a degenerative neurop-athy. She is currently studying foran honours degree in social policyandmanagement at the University
of Cape Town. Mycroft says it isgreat to see CMA and ASA uphold-ing the rights provided by SouthAfrica’s constitution.“People with disabilities are of-
ten sidelined by society, and this isan opportunity to show that we areactive and capable members of ourcommunities.”Engelbrecht, who is an ability
activist, cyclist and runner, wasborn with cerebral palsy and is aspastic quadriplegic. She is in herthird year doing her Bachelor inCommerce degree at StellenboschUniversity. Engelbrecht says: “On-ly those who attempt the absurdcan achieve the impossible.”Zelda Mycroft, the CSRC chief
executive officer, says this is histo-ry in the making.“This is great news. We couldn’t
be happier. This paves the way formore great things. The CSRC andChaeli Campaign look forward topartnering CMA and ASA in grow-ing more opportunities for wheel-chair athletes to enter the main-stream marathon and ultra-mara-thon arenas to continue growingawareness that ability comes in allshapes and forms. Inclusive sportinspires and is beneficial to allwhopractise it as well as the spectators
and administrators who cheer onour brave athletes.”Though today they have some-
thing to celebrate, it wasn’t a walkin the park to have these two in-cluded in the marathon.This ruling that they fought so
hard for, started with engagementwith CMA in February. After hit-ting a hard rock and being denied,they never gave up. They foughtharder and even had a petition go-ing around so that they could be in-cluded.Making the announcement last
week, Macdonald Chitja, the CMAchairperson, said CMA has notedand is in the process of implement-ing a directive from ASA that twowheelchair assisted participantsbe permitted to participate in the2016 Comrades Marathon.Mycroft and Engelbrecht quali-
fied for the event in the Red Hillmarathon earlier this year.

Sunday nights at Swingers inWetton have become the place
to be with the supper club givingmusic lovers more than tastytreats.This initiative has seen the “re-
union” of the group Out of Townwho are the core band for the even-ing, featured with some specialguests every week.Keyboard man Camillo Lom-
bard, an integral part of the band,has grown into one of the giants inthe music industry. But this is theband that started him on the pathto really finding his feet in the mu-sic business.“When I started with Out of
Town in 1991, I was wet behind theears where themusic industrywasconcerned,” he remembers.“Being the youngest in the band
was an experience I will never for-get. Bassist Lionel Beukes was theleader who arranged all the re-hearsals and gigs. He left a hugeimpression on me in the profes-sional way in which he conductedhimself.“Where the music was con-
cerned he expandedmymusical di-et by introducing me to artists likeKeith Jarret, Jeff Lorber, ChickCorea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Sam-ple, Abdullah Ibrahim, Mcoy Tyn-er, Yellow Jackets, Koinonia, Mez-zoForté, SpyroGyraandmanyoth-er artists, allowing me to emulatetheir solos and learn the art of im-provisation.”Another member of the band
that impressed the young musi-cian was legendary drummerDen-ver Furness. “He is also known asthe “Fiery” Furness and his prow-ess on the drums influenced andstrengthened my sense of rhythmand tempo.”Camillo also explained how the
experience taught him the value ofversatility. “We became the back-ing band of choice for so many ofthe big names because we couldadd to the gig with our backing vo-cal talents. Those years we backedpeople like Leslie Kleinsmith, Rob-bie Jansen, Terry Fortune, VernonCastle, Sandra Butler and manymore at venues likeClubMontreal,Baker Street, Midnight Moves, Ro-sie’s & all that Jazz and the The
Green Dolphin”Being back with the band for the
Sunday sessions in Wetton hasseen some changes with his role inthe group. “Being reunited withthe guys now after 20 years, hasbeen a bit of a paradigm shift,” hereflects. “I have since been equip-ping myself with skills and havebecome musical director to manySouth African and internationalartists. So these days I find myselfin thedrivers seat, giving guidanceand advice to the rest of the band.There is definitely much loveamong themembers andwe simplylove sharing the stage together.”V Admission is free for the Sunday NightSupper Session. Doors open at 18:30. Infoand booking from 021 762 2443.

Teenage pregancy in Cape Town has de-creased, officials say.Andalthough the resultswill only be final-
ised in the next month or two, the City ofCapeTownhaveexpressed their enthusiasmwith the early signs that the teenage preg-nancy rate has declined even further year onyear.
For the year 2015 there has been a drop inthe number of teenage births comparedwiththe previous year.Of the 69 908 live births recorded in 2015,
2704 were to mothers under the age of 18.This accounted for 3.87% of all births.“This is very good news indeed and I want
to applaud our young women and men whoare taking responsibility for their sexualhealth,” says Mayco member for Health Si-yabulela Mamkeli.“We need to stop clinging to the belief that
young children will listen to us whenwe tellthem to abstain. Ideally, yes, but the fact isthat many are having sex and so it is our re-sponsibility to make sure that they do so re-sponsibly. Looking at the figures, it is clearthatmore andmore young people are takingthat responsibility, but also that the inter-ventions are hitting the mark.”
School outreach programmes have be-come a crucial intervention for City Health.OnWednesday 13April, Mamkeli addressedpupils at Rocklands Secondary School aspart of the outreach programme.
“In a nutshell, it is about educating youngpeople on issues pertaining to teen sexualhealth, making good life choices and alsohow they can access services to prevent un-wanted pregnancies or sexually transmittedinfections,” Mamkeli explains to People’sPost. “Schools are but one of the locationsidentified to engage with young people. City
Health has also identified sport and recrea-tion hubs, libraries and various pro-grammes offered by the Social DevelopmentandEarlyChildhoodDirectorate as opportu-nities to engage with the target audience.”Mamkeli has since been invited to speak
at Glendale High and Rocklands.“It is still a challenge to get some schools
to agree to us engagingwith their pupils, butwe are seeing greaterwillingness on the partof some and I commend those principals andschool governing bodies. Ignorance is nolonger a defence – children need to learntheir various subjects, but I believe that re-productive health is probably one of themost crucial aspects of LifeOrientation. Themore we educate our young people, the bet-
ter choices they are able to make,” addedMamkeli.
He explains the Health Department staffalso do ongoing outreach work in their re-spective sub-districts. City Health has eightsub-districts across the metropole. Mamkelisays they are also looking to create youthclinics outside exisiting clinics.
“We are trying to create as many plat-forms as possible to engage with youth. In-side the clinics, we are providing ongoingtraining to healthcare workers to sensitisethem to the needs of young people, prioritis-ing adolescents attending clinics and fast-tracking them using queuemarshals, but al-somaking educational material available inwaiting areas,” says Mamkeli.
“Ideally we would also want to build moreyouth clinics. However, CityHealth has a re-sponsibility to all communities to provideservices and unfortunately we do not haveunlimited funding that can address the de-mands of all the different interest groups.We therefore have to be very strategic interms ofwhere services are rolled out, basedon where the greatest need is – according toour annual statistics.”City Health partnered with a number of
organisations in 2015 talking to teenagehealth issues.“Ideally, young people should abstain un-
til they are old enough to dealwith thepoten-tial consequences of unprotected sex – likebeing able to care independently for a baby.However, we know that young people are ex-perimenting and so we need to ensure thatthey are as well prepared against the risk ofpregnancy and sexually transmitted infec-tions as possible,” says Mamkeli.
Part of their intervention includes dis-pensing contraception and advice at clinics,and during outreach campaigns at schoolsand other forums.“We need to continue educating young
people and raising awareness on the choicesavailable to them andmake those options aseasily accessible as possible. An informedyoung person is a healthy young person. Wealso need to start addressing the attitudes ofsome parents and larger communities – ig-norance will get us nowhere. We need tostart talking to children about their sexualhealth and well-being and if you as a parentor guardian do not feel comfortable doing it,take the child to the clinic or an NGO work-ing in your community – but we need to getthe message out,” he says.City Health and its partners are hoping to
provide reproductive health services to atleast 40 000 young people under the age of 18in this financial year.

EDUCATION
Many ways to learnThroughout your child’s school career, theyhave been tasked with growing amounts ofhomework, assignments and tests. Howev-er, as they proceed from grade to grade, thework pressure increases, potentially leav-ing your child feeling flustered.
Creating a schedule, together with yourchild, will help your child prioritise theirtime and create a sense of control. But whathappens when it’s time to buckle down tostudy, and the information doesn’t stick?
Conventional parrot-style studying mayleave your child feeling anxious or despond-ent. Each child is unique in their abilities,and study techniques don’t generally formpart of the school curriculum. This is a greatway for parents to offer assistance, and gothrough aprocess of elimination to establishthe most successful method.
A study has been completed to categorisefour learning styles or preferences whichcould help your child absorb and interpretinformation. This is called theVARKmodal-ities, which has been split to have a specificfocus on visual, aural, read andwrite or kin-aesthetic stimulation.
VisualVisually predominant study techniques
require the study areas be void of any visualdistractions. The only visually appealingmaterial should be study notes. Informationis best consumed through pictures, dia-grams and graphs. Utilise brightly colourstationery to accentuate key information.The use of online videos and flash cards aregreat tools too.
AuralA study space should be clear of auditory
distractions. These learners consume infor-mation best though spoken word format.Study groups work great if you are able to
find students with similar learning trends.Recorded discussions and lectures can be re-peated ina conducive environment andyourchild will create recitations and jingles ofkey information.
Read and WriteThis is probably themost traditional of all
study modes. From the classroom to home,your childwill constantly need to takenotes,re-read notes and hand outs along with ac-cessing additional information through var-ious mediums. The regurgitation of the in-formation will be interpreted and noted ina manner which is easier to consume.
KinaestheticThroughout your child’s life, they are
taught to sit still, be quiet, and face the front.However, young active minds are housed inyoung active bodies, which thrive on physi-cal activity. If your child chooses to lay onthe floor flicking their legs, or pace whenstudying let thembe.Themovement pacifiesthe body’s instinct to be active, freeing themind to absorb. This category of student isusually only able to study in short blocks oftime, with an accompanying distraction ofsqueezing a stress ball or listening to music.It’s not a study method encouraged, but ithas proven to be a successful method forsome children. A kinaesthetic learner likesto make use of examples and associationsrather thanplain facts and is further compli-mented through Aural study techniqueswith other scholars.
Visit http:/vark-learn.com to help you de-cipher a study mode and tools to best suityour child.V This column was contributed by False Bay TVET Col-lege. Look out for more study success strategies in Peo-ple’s Post in the last week of every month or go towww.falsebaycollege.co.za to find out more.

Investigatenumber ofpolice deathsThus far, more than 80 police officershave been killed this year.
This should elicit at least a commis-sion of enquiry by national government.The number of killings equates tonearly 20 per month or two per day.
The slaying of Detective LindekileSikade from Philippi East, Metro Policeofficer Simon Sigasa from Johannesburgand others, is strongly condemned, butwhat recourse do we have after thecondemnation of the dastardly murders?
If the perpetrators are targeting lawenforcement officers solely for theirfirearms in order to commit furtheracts of crime, wherein lies the solutionto end the heinous killings?
Unless this stark reality is addressedswiftly, less young men and women willenter the policing services, albeit itpolice or the municipal Metro Policeservices.
Statistics indicate that there is a hugeshortfall of police officers in the West-ern Cape.
I implore national police commission-er to initiate a national commission ofenquiry in respect of the atrocity tostop the killings, and rid civil society ofthe cowardly perpetrators and illegalunlicensed firearms.
MARK KLEINSCHMIDTKenwyn
Stand against killingsLast week we have once again beenshaken, shocked and rattled by thebrutal killing of one of our own, Detect-ive Constable Sekadi from the GrassyPark police service centre.
He was a valuable asset to our commu-nity, has been ruthless in bringinglaw-breakers before the court andexposing the dark side of the gangunderworld.
As a community we want to expressour condolences, and unequivocally statethat we do not condone the brutalslaying of our police officers, or anymember of society. As a community wevalue our police officers, in whatevercapacity they may serve us.
Once again it is a call to our leaders,those in authority – decision makers,politicians and government – to listenand respond to the cry of our people.Once again we see a system dismallyfailing us, where those who must upholdand protect society, fall victim to thevery system they must uphold.
Our justice system fails us time andtime again. Our police service is under-staffed, underresourced and its membersare under paid. Correctional servicesdelivers and feeds into our communitiesthe products of a failing prison system
(with exception to those who reshapedtheir lives), and when we add all up, theoutcome is that the innocent, the uprightand the community heroes are carriedaway in wooden boxes to their lastresting place.
Absent at the time of distress, tears,heartache and bereavement, are thepoliticians, the ministers and govern-ment.
As a community we have the power toinfluence decisions, budgets, systems,policies and ways of thinking. We mustget involved in community projects,programmes and initiatives. We mustbecome more vocal and speak outagainst unjust and ungodly systems,participate in forums, structures and allother platforms, and above all, hold ourleaders, MECs, councillors and serviceproviders accountable.
Let the death of our fallen heroes,children, elderly and youth not be invain. Let the spilled blood of the inno-cent speak to the righteous, cry out tothe heart of our community and let ourresponse be: “yes we will take up thecourse, yes we will unite against allforces of darkness and overcome”!
PASTOR PAUL PHILLIPParkwood
Who is behind the shootings?Regarding gangs on the Cape Flats:
I am always very saddened when Ihear of the innocent people being killedfor no reason by these sub-humans, andother innocents maimed for life. Thesegangsters have no understanding of thepain and suffering they deliberatelycause through their madness.
But my biggest concern is: Who issupplying them the ammunition?
We know that many firearms arestolen and many are even supplied byother sub-humans but where does theammunition come from?
Why do we not hear of that?Surely if the suppliers of ammunition
can be identified, prosecuted and sen-tenced to lengthy jail terms then perhapsthere should be a drop in the killings.When these sub-humans are arrestedwith the guns surely the police shouldbe able to extract that information of thesuppliers of the ammunition.
I ask: Can it be that some policemenare supplying them so we do not hearabout that?

Fuel price not just a numberAs of Wednesday 6 April, the cost of a litre
of fuel has shot up by between 81 centsa litre and 98 cents a litre depending on thefuel you use.
According to a press release by the Auto-mobile Association (AA) Petrol 95 has in-creased by 88c/l, 93 by between 81c/l and86c/l. The cost of a litre of 93 unleaded pet-rol inland is now R12.32 (up from R11.46)and R11.94 for litre of petrol at the coast (upfrom R11.13).
The 30c/F increase to the Fuel Levy, an-nounced by Finance Minister Pravin Gord-han during his budget speech in February,has been added to all of the price adjust-ments.
This additional 30c/F has moved the FuelLevy – a tax collected on every litre of fuelsold – from R2.55 to R2.85 a litre. The moneycollected through the Fuel Levy is adminis-tered by the National Treasury, and istreatedas ageneral tax, not, asmanypeopleassume, only for road-related expenses.
For many, the fuel price is merely a num-ber on a pump that they need to pay whenfilling their tank. But the cost of this essen-tial commodity is much more than that; itis made up of many different costs that, to-gether, constitute what is commonly re-ferred to as the petrol price.
In South Africa this price is adjustedmonthly based on a number of factors,mainly international petroleum prices,and the Rand/US Dollar exchange rate.
The Basic Fuel Price (BFP) is calculatedbased on costs associated with shipping pe-troleum products to South Africa from theMediterranean area, Arabian Gulf and
Singapore. These costs include insurance,storage, and wharfage and the cost to useharbour facilities when off-loading petrole-um products into storage facilities.
This month these costs total R5.26 per litrefor 93 unleaded petrol (inland), and R5.21 fora litre of 93 unleaded at the coast.
Other costs associated with the petrolprice include transport costs (from the har-bour to other areas), customs and excise du-ties, the retail margins paid to fuel stationowners, and secondary storage costs. Impor-tantly, these other costs also include the Fu-el Levy, and the Road Accident Fund (RAF)Levy.
Currently these other costs total R7.06 for
inland users, and R6.73 for coastal users, perlitre of 93 unleaded petrol. Of this, a revisedfigure of R2.85 is allocated to the Fuel Levy,and R1.54 to RAF Levy.
The Fuel Levy goes directly to the Nation-al Treasury, while the RAF Levy goes to theRAF, and is used to care for victims of carcrashes.
This means that for every inland litre ofpetrol costingR12.32,R4.39 (35%) is allocatedto different government levies. For every li-tre of coastal petrol costing R11.94, close to37% is allocated to the levies.
InlandUsing this formula, filling a 50F tank with
93 unleaded petrol inland, will cost R616. Ofthis, R142.50 goes directly to the Fuel Levywith a further R77 going to the RAF Levy,giving a combined total of R219.50.
CoastalUsing this formula, filling a 50F tank with
93 unleaded petrol at the coast, will costR597. Of this, R142.50 goes directly to the Fu-el Levy with a further R77 going to the RAFLevy, giving a combined total of R219.50.
The AA releases a prediction for thechange in the fuel price in the middle of ev-ery month, and again at the end of the monthahead of the official announcement by gov-ernment.
Nitrogen tyre inflation is one of themany services offered by tyre re-placement centres.
According to a press release by oneof these national tyre replacementcentres, this practice, which is com-mon in the motor racing and aircraftindustries, will increase vehicle safe-ty as well as benefit everyday motor-ists financially.
Optimal handling, performanceand safety are every motorist’s goaland can only be achieved when tyresare correctly inflated to the manufac-turer’s recommended pressure. Sus-taining this optimal pressure is keyand that is where nitrogen offers asignificant benefit over regular com-pressed air.
The molecules in pure nitrogen arelarger than those in compressed air,which contains just 78% nitrogen. Asa result, pure nitrogen escapes fromthe tyre at a much slower rate thanregular air. A tyre inflated with com-pressed air will deflate considerablyfaster than a tyre inflated with nitro-gen, according to the press release,
The reason for this has to do withtemperatures.
When the air temperature increas-es, it results in the road heating upand therefore increasing the temper-ature of the tyre and the air pressureinside the tyre.
This expanding air can essentiallyover-inflate the tyre, reducing itsfootprint or the portion that comes in-to contact with the road and increasethe likelihood of it losing grip on theroad.
Nitrogen inflated tyres run signifi-cantly cooler than those inflated withcompressed air, and apart from keep-ing the pressure more constant it canresult in up to a 20% longer tyre life.
The simple act of inflating tyreswith nitrogen as opposed to com-pressed air can yield significant per-formance, safety and financial bene-fits.

For Tristan Brooks karate is alifestyle rather than a sport.Not surprisingly, the Grade 11
learner from Rondebosch Boys’High School is the number onefighter inhis age group in the coun-try.Tristan has been named the Peo-
ple’s Post Let’s Play Sport Star ofthe Month for March and April.He was nominated by his dad,
Neil, who says that Tristan is cur-rently ranked number one inSouth Africa (u.17) both in Kumite(fighting) and Kata (the sequenceof moves), the two disciplines ofKimura Shukokai Karate. “Hetravelled to New York in 2012 rep-resenting South Africa in the KSIWorld Tournament and again in2014, this time in Sun City. In Julyhe will be travelling to Berlin, Ger-many for the KSI 2016 World Tour-nament. In September last yearTristan competed against the bestin Europe at the KSI EuropeanOpen Championships in Luzerne,Switzerland narrowly losing in thefinal,” says Neil.According to Tristan he loves ka-
rate because of the intense train-ing. “Personally I love the physicalside of the intense training sched-ules and competitions, but a highlevel of mental discipline is re-
quired to carry out this lifestyle.My Sensei calls us all crazy forwhat we do and it is the sense ofbrotherhood that keeps me moti-vated.”He trains four times a week and
loves being in the gym. “As well asmy karate training, which is a 90minute class four days aweek, I tryto include a boxing fitness classonce a week and I can always befound in the gym during my sparetime on the weekend. But I like tothink that a fighter is always train-ing and bettering himself in every-thing he does in every aspect oflife.”For him, karate is a way of life,
rather than a sport. “I guess that Ihave been involvedwith karate formost of my life, since age five, andin all the years of training that hasdevelopedmy passion for thismar-tial art. I play rugby at school andalso enjoy athletics, but we do notconsider martial arts to be a sport,it is a way of life. Since a young agemy order of priorities has been myChristian faith followed by myfamily, second to those are schooland then training. When you haveyour priorities set before you, ev-erything else falls into place. Istrongly feel that once you havestarted training in this form ofmartial arts, it is impossible tostop. It is a lifetime journey.”
Tristan says he looks up to hiskarate hero Shihan (master in-structor) Chris Thompson whoholds an 8th Dan and is a WorldChief Instructor. “The control thathe has over his body is unbelieva-ble to witness and he also is a per-fect gentleman towards all. Thetime and dedication he has showntowards Kimura Shukokai Karateis unbelievable and I hope to oneday be half the man he is.”Tristan says that his participa-
tion in theUSA in 2012was his firstinternational tournament and itwas a real eye-opener for him. “Itmade me realise what a journey Ihad ahead of myself if I wanted tobe thebest I could. Seeinghowhardother countries were pushing,made me want to train even hard-er.”Tristan might even be regarded
asCapeTown’s ownKarateKid.Hewas part of a demo team for thelaunch of the remake of the origi-nal 1984 movie when The KarateKidwas launched in 2010 at Caven-dish.V You can nominate any pupil between 13and 18 as the sport star of the month bysending email to [email protected].

Mr Miyagi would be very proud

CT marathongoes for goldOrganisers of the Sanlam Cape Town
Marathonwill aim to takeanother stepforward this year in their attempt to
close the gap on theworld’s biggest road run-ning events.
Set to be held for the third time since itsrelaunch in 2014, the annual 42kmrace takesplace in the picturesqueMotherCity onSun-day 18 September, and retains IAAF SilverLabel status.As the only standardmarathon race in Af-
rica to be awarded Silver Label status, theCape TownMarathonwill continue to targetGoldLabel recognition.“Weareverypleasedwith the progresswehavemade over the lasttwo years, andwe are satisfied that wemadefurther advances by hosting another suc-cessful event last year.We have a vision andwill continue to focus on that by making therequired adjustments to ensurewe are deliv-ering a world-class event across the board.This will assist in ensuring South Africanrunners have access to a world-class run-ning event organised by globally accreditedstandards, while offering incentives andmentoring for local runners,” says ElanaMeyer, race ambassador and former Olym-pic silver medallist.Taking the next step towards their long-
term goals, organisers aim to offer an en-hanced runner and spectator experience atthe 2016 race.Byproviding spectatorbuses and zones, as
well as a wide range of entertainment, theorganisers again intend to involve localcommunities in the festivities around theevent.
TheweekendSpring road running festivalwill also continue to empower and rewardlocal road running talent.
The tremendous local and internationalsupport for the 2015 event, which boastedone of the largest road race fields in thecountry, offers a clear indication of the im-pact the race has already made since it waslaunched. “The increase in popularity ofthis event over a short two-year periodshows the value it can offer people in CapeTown, across South Africa and throughoutAfrica as a leading brand which promoteshealthy living. The economic boost deliv-ered by the Sanlam Cape Town Marathonthrough various local industries, including
travel and tourism, continues to make a val-uable contribution outside the world ofsport. This shows the true value of the race,”says Garreth Bloor, City of Cape TownMay-co member for economic development andtourism.The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon brings
together elite competitors, social runnersand local communities, and is proving to bea top choice for elite athletes as well as fit-ness-loving celebrities.Organisers are again calling on runners

have pledged their support for the event,which offers lucrative incentives for top per-formances, as the race builds on South Afri-ca’s running culture and extends the na-tion’s rich history in hosting world-classrunning events.The weekend festival will also benefit pre-
viously disadvantaged runners by offeringlearnerships and ongoing support to its twomain beneficiaries, Western Province Ath-leticsKidsDevelopment ProgramandEndu-rocad. “The sport of running is easily acces-sible and within everyone’s means, but run-ning amarathon is amilestone that requiresdetermination and dedication. Similar tothe Wealthsmiths approach of creating val-ue for our clients through wealth creation,we approach this sponsorship with determi-nation and dedication to ensure we get therewards of an iconic city marathon of thehighest stand, something our continent andits runners deserves,” says Carl Roothman,chief executive of retail business at SanlamInvestments.The Sanlam Cape TownMarathon is man-
agedbya joint partnershipbetweenWesternProvince Athletics (WPA), ASEM Runningand the City of Cape Town.The weekend festival, held over two days
