Stars to shinefor golden oldiesMUSIC is a language everyone can under-stand. Add a joke or two and you have awinning combination.
This is just what is on offerwhen fundswillbe raised for the Douglas Murray Home forthe Aged, in Retreat.Following a People’s Post report that the
Home is in dire straits, an events companywas spurred into action to host a fundraisercalled Comedy and Jazz on The Greenz.The event will be held at the Vodacom Golf
Driving Range in Rosmead Avenue, Wyn-berg, onSaturday 2February. It starts at 19:00and the cover charge is R100.The artist line-up is enough to make any
jazz lover’s mouth water. It includes well-known andmuch-lovedCape Town jazzmusi-cian Richard Ceasar, the sultry MelanieScholtz, Open Mic Jazz Contest winner Can-dice Thornton, jazz duoTheRubenDaleBandand all-girl group G-Major.Theywill be supported by comedians Dalin
Oliver, Devon Gray and Calvin Benson whohave all beenmaking serious headway on thecomedy scene.Fred Daniels, CEO of the Home, says funds
have “all but dried up, as the Home strugglesto stay afloat”. Established 43 years ago andnow home to 90 residents, the Home gets byon a shoestring budget.“Municipal bills are in the region of R30 000
a month and in winter this can skyrocket.This excludes the salaries for the staff, aswellas food and other essentials,” says Daniels.He adds the event “may not be able to cover
all costs”.While most of the residents need 24-hour,
specialised nursing and medical care, the
Home’s “biggest challenge is covering staffsalaries”.The facility employs 63 staff working on 12-
hour shifts a day. “We need professional car-egivers and nurses to attend to our residents.In an ideal world we would need one profes-sionalnurse for every tworesidents,”Danielssays. “But the nurses need to be paid up toR12 500 a month. We do not have this kind ofmoney.”Towards the end of last year, the Home’s
Board was faced with the challenging deci-sion of downscaling or closing the doors tothe facility.It is in light of this that theyhave embarked
on The Save Douglas Murray Home Cam-paign and this fundraiser forms part of thecampaign. The campaign is aimed at galva-nising the support of the community and cre-ating awareness to the plight of the Home.“We have received tremendous support
since we have been afforded the opportunityto tell our story in the previous article andin various interviews. The reality, however,is that the Home needs this to be ongoing aswe still have a long way to go and may findourselves in the same position sooner thanwe think if interest in the Home starts towane.”Businesses looking for branding opportu-
nities or anyone wishing to assist or to findoutmore about the campaign or the fundrais-ing event can contact Gregory Sirmongpongon (021) 712 2146 or email [email protected].

Family waits for water, electricityLIAM MOSES
A RONDEVLEI family says they have been liv-ing without running water or electricity formore than two months.
NatashaOliver,who shares thedwellingwithherhusband, Malcolm, and their five children, saysthey were placed in Rondevlei by the City of CapeTown in November. They have been without waterand electricity since, she says.She adds the move was a temporary relocation
until the Rondevlei Housing Development in Lav-ender Hill is completed.Rondevlei is adjacent to Prince George Drive.However, the development is only expected to be
completed next year and Oliver has asked that herfamily be provided with basic infrastructure untilthen. The dwelling next to hers alreadyhas electric-ity and water, she says.“I want my own toilet, my own bin and a tap be-
cause every time I have to go into the neighbour’syard to get water there,” says Oliver.“Sometimes the gate is locked or she is busy with
the washing machine and then we can’t use thetap.”Oliver previously lived in Village Heights and
says shewas placed in Rondevlei after approachingthe Council Housing Office in Ottery.She says she was placed in Rondevlei without a
starter pack or any other material to build a home.She has directed her appeal for help to the Hous-
ing Office and ward councillor Shanen Rossouw.Peter Scott, who lives nearby in one of the formal
houses, says he, too, has raised thematterwithRos-souw.“I got hold of councillor ShanenRossouw and she
made quite a few promises. These things were saidmonths ago,” says Scott.“I feel sorry for the family because they don’t eat
properly. They have to make a fire every night sothat they can survive. She has five children and Ithink the youngest is about one. All they need ishelp.”Rossouw, however, denies having made any
promises and says she forwarded all Oliver’s re-quests to the correct City of Cape Town depart-ments. “When someone calls me I go and investi-gate completely. I took the officialswith to seeNata-sha Oliver with Peter Scott. I didn’t make anypromises to anybody because I don’t put in electric-ity boxes,” says Rossouw.“I reported everything to the different depart-
ments and they are still busy with it. I try my ut-most. I understand the frustration of the communi-ty. At least now they are going get an electricalbox.”Rossouw said that Oliver and her family would
receive electricity soon, but could not say exactlywhen.

Peace vsprotestsVIOLENT protests about service deliveryhave in recent months marred the politi-cal landscape. People’s Post interns Tar-ren-LeeHabelgaarn andLuzukoZini tookto the streets and asked readers if the vio-lence is justified or it is a sign of despera-tion.
DESPERATE: Steve Fraser says while hedoesn’t condone violence, when people arehopeless they get desperate. “If people can’tget their point across what other option dothey have? Something needs to be done, butit all boils down to education; it allows you todecide what is right and wrong.”
Photos: Tarren-Lee Habelgaarn and Luzuko Zini
UNACCEPTABLE: Stirling Damain-Harris saysviolence is never justified. He thinks peopleprotest when they have come to the end oftheir patience. At that point, he says, there isno other way but violence. “I feel particularlysorry for the farmworkers who work in rain andsun, but get R50.”
NEVER VIOLENCE: Thelma Harris says vio-lence should never be an option. She says itis particularly frustrating when protestersdon’t think of the inconvenience caused tothemselves and others. “If you take the farmorkers: when they go back to work the stuff(property) is broken. It is unfair towards them-selves and the farmers.”
ELECT LEADERS: Taariq Samuels says: “That’stheir way of getting what they want, but it doesnot always go their way. Protesters shouldelect someone who will speak on their behalfto the people, company or government so thatthings can be resolved in a peaceful way.”
NOT IDEAL: Kay-Leigh Meistre believes pro-testing is a way for protesters to get attention,but believes violence is not the way. “Protest-ers need to speak up and voice their concernsinstead of being violent. Violence has neversolved anything but only makes things worse.”
UNJUST: Andiswa Sam says: “Violence is notthe way because it only makes things worse.Violence is not a sign of desperation, but anopportunity (for some people) to ruin what hasalready been done for them. The only way for-ward is to address issues in a civilised way.”
OTHER MEANS: Zach Simpson believes thereare other ways of dealing with the protesters’concerns. “The violence may be a sign of des-peration, but there is no need for it. They shoulduse peaceful methods of protest that haveserved this and other countries well.”

Nappies and litter clog canalJUANITA WILLIAMS
THE smell of pollution in the Diep RiverCanal is literally getting up the noses ofresidents.
Some have complained to ward councillorJan Burger, who says the water is pollutedby litter flowing downstream fromDiep Riv-er into Little Princess Vlei.“Everything that is tossed into the water
upstream empties into the area between DeWaal and Roscommon roads. I have walkedthe river banks and seen black bags full ofrubbish clogging the water and have report-ed it to the Department of Transport, Roadsand Stormwater many times. The canalneeds more effective grids across it, to pre-vent the muck continuing to float down riv-er.”Burger received more complaints after a
newspaper story of pollution in theDiepRiv-er canal. “Further down in Princess Vlei weare having the same problem with all sortsof litter being washed down the Diep RiverCanal. The litter includes plastic packets,plastic bottles, used nappies, tins (and) glassbottles.”One complainant wrote: “Litter is trapped
by the grass growing alongside the walls ofthe canal. It is never cleared when they doa clean-up – this all contributes to the smell.”Mayco member for Transport, Roads and
Stormwater, councillor Brett Herron saysthe odour is caused by sewer overflows intothe canal which have now has been ad-dressed with the Water and Sanitation De-partment. “The areas upstream and down-stream of Roscommon Roadwere cleaned bythe City of Cape Town’s Roads and Stormwa-ter Department during November and De-
cember 2012 [total 20 days]. The last cyclewas completed on 13 December 2012 with theannual programmed cleaning of the DiepRiver scheduled for April 2013. Litter whichis not removed, ends up at the mouth of thePrincess Vlei where a litter boom preventsentry into the vlei area. City Parks periodi-cally removes litter in this area. The litterproblem has also been exacerbated by thevery strong south easterly winds experi-enced during the December/January periodwhich blows floating debris upstream.”To alleviate some of these problems, says
Herron, the roads and stormwater depart-ment will endeavour to assist City Parks in“clearing the litter boom more frequentlyandwill also investigate the possibility of in-stalling a litter grid upstreamofRoscommonRoad to facilitatemore frequent litter remov-al and prevent the passage downstream”.Burger also asked for a progress report
from City Park’s Grant Smith, site managerof Princess Vlei Conservation Area.Smith says: “A siphon system is being
used to lower the water level in summer inorder to simulate the natural cycle of thewa-ter body. The intention is not to drain thevlei completely, but to expose the banks formicro-organisms and wading birds.“Land-based alien clearing is underway at

Yummy food for thoughtTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
You are what you eat.
For years people have been obsessed withphrases such as “healthy body, healthymind”, and it’s true, says a dietitian.
What children eat have a major impact ontheir brain. “Your brain is dependent on anormal blood sugar level, so any people orchildren with low or high blood sugar cannotconcentrate properly. Therefore it is of ut-most importance to eat regularly to help keepyour blood sugar at a normal level,” says die-titian Magdalene Pieters.
And, saysPieters, youdon’t need expensiveor exclusive foods to achieve this. A healthycombination of food groups in either a mealor snack will suffice.
Brain boosting foods do not have to burna hole in your pocket, but, more importantly,Pieters says, the best thing to do is to avoidfoods that affect the brain negatively. FocusInstead on foods that are beneficial to thebrain.
“It has nothing to do with affordability andmore to do with trying to eat natural foods,the way nature intended us to eat,” she says.
When looking at food you need to decide isthis natural, wholesome and healthy or if itis only the nice tasting part of a natural foodlike sugar, oil, fat, cream and white refinedstarch.
A good guideline is to try and avoid foodsthat are dyed, changed or fried.
Certain foods, such as fried foods, sweets,sugar and sweetened cooldrinks, have a nega-tive impact on the brain. “Bought fried fast
foods are the worst because the oil might beboiling formanyhours. Trans fats replace thegood essential Omega-3 fats in the brain, andmay cause Attention Deficit Disorder andmood disorders like depression because of alack of Omega-3 fatty acids,” says Pieters.
“Fried fast foods are one of the reasons somany young people feel depressed thesedays.”
Sugar is digested very quickly and spikesblood sugar levels. According to Pieters a lotof insulin must be secreted to lower the blood
sugar again.“A child with a high blood sugar will not
feel full of energy, like most people think.They will feel drowsy and tired. If their sugardrops too low after the spike they will feelnervous, edgy and jittery. They won’t be ableto sit still, can’t concentrate and everythingaround them will draw their attention awayfrom their work,” she says.
Water with a meal that combines protein,fibre, vitamins, minerals and healthy fat isvery good at empowering the brain.
Pieters says children should be encouragedto drink water whenever they feel thirsty orhungry.
“A dehydrated body and brain cannot func-tion properly and sometimes children getoverweight because they confuse thirst withhunger and eat too much,” she says.
With the new school year having just start-ed a good eating habit could help improve achild’s performance.
Pieters says good foods to include in yourchild’s lunch box are low GI bread (which de-creases the sugar spike), and a protein thatsuits your pocket such as meat, cheese, pea-nut butter or egg and a fruit.
“Apples are low GI fruits and travel well.Buy different types and colours,” says Pie-ters.
Breakfast is also very important to kick-start a day, saysPieters. She lists lowGI toast,egg, peanut butter,
low GI oats or muesli, yoghurt and a fruitor few raisins as good breakfast choices forchildren.
She adds that pilchards are excellent food.“It is packed with good Omega-3 fatty acids,
excellent source of protein and minerals fromthe sea and calcium from the soft bones in thefish.
“The tomato added to most tins is also verygood, filled with anti-oxidants that protectagainst many diseases,” says Pieters.
She highlights that it is also affordable andyou can stock up and keep some.
“I combine it with wholewheat pasta, on-ions and spices, then add a thin layer of grat-ed cheese on top for a lovely fast dish for thefamily,” she adds.

WHEN did you last put pen to paper towrite a real love letter? With the ad-vance of technology, so-called snailmailhas become a nostalgic past time.
TheSAPostOffice (SAPO) is encouragingromantic South Africans to use the postalservice for Valentine’s Day.“A card or letter forValentine’s Day is the
best possible gift for a loved one some dis-tance away,” says Janras Kotsi, head of
Mail Business at the SAPO. “A letter or cardsent by a loved one must be one of the bestsurprises anyone can get.”The SAPO says a letter bearing a stamp
has a 50% bigger chance of being openedfirst (or at all) than one without a stamp.The reason is that it is perceived a persontook time and effort to sit down and writeit. Kotsi says a card or letter is easy to keepand will not be deleted or lost when a phoneis upgraded or a hard disk crashes. “It will
outlast flowers, it takes up very little stor-age space and when you reread it years lat-er, it will evoke more memories than anyother keepsake.”He adds that mail is more romantic than
social media because you can neither sprayit with aftershave or perfume nor kiss itwith lipstick.Kotsi also points out that a letter makes
a particularly affordable gift for Valentine’sDay: “A standard letter costs only R2,65 in
postage, but it remains appropriate for Val-entine’s Day which focuses on emotion andfeeling, not financial value. Customersshouldmake sure they use the right addressand postcode, which can be looked up online at www.postoffice.co.za.“Remember we can create personal mem-
ories, strengthen existing relations andeven create new relationships by sendingsomeone a personalised card ormessage forValentine’s Day.”

IfAmerica can cater to a worldwidemarket, so can we.”The exhibition runs until Tues-

Catch-22CIVIL society places certain expectations up-on a country’s legal system.So it is expected, for instance, that people
whom the courts find guilty end up in prison.There, it is hoped, offenders will serve the
required time for having been found guilty ofwhichever crime. Perhaps it is also hopedthat they would make amends and perhapsbecome reconciliatory towards those whomthey’ve offended. Many prisoners say they’vefound religion while in prison.If prison is hoped to be a corrective facility,
what then can be said for crimes taking placein prison? Fights which broke out in Polls-moor Prison last week are reportedly as a re-sult of attempts to control illegal items whichwere being smuggled into the facility.A daily newspaper report indicates 10 in-
mateswere injured in two separate battles be-tween rival gangs. Five inmates were takento hospitals. The items in question are drugsand cellphones.While people on the “outside” may take
cellphones for granted, drugs in a prison isunderstandably a dangerous combination.Correctional Services regional commis-
sioner Delekile Klaas has reportedly told themedia they were investigating whether offi-cials could be working with inmates.Two rival gangs have are said to have been
separated,while gang leaders have been iden-tified and placed in another area.Many questions can be asked as to whether
prisons really serve a purpose. But in the ab-sence of any other recourse, correctional fa-cilities remain the only answer as to what todo with offenders and those who break thelaw. Research indicates many offenders, un-fortunately, return to prison. Some, becausethey see little way out than to survive by com-mitting crime.Others, because their attemptsat reintegration into society are foiled as a re-sult of the mark against their name.Until we’ve walked a mile in a prisoner’s
shoes, who is to know? Perhaps crime neversleeps. Not even in prison.
Rememberwho paysMY LATE dad instilled in his chil-dren the basic principles of treatingothers as you want to be treated, al-ways greeting and always saying“thank you”.I have, in turn, taught this to my
children and grandchildren.What I and others have experi-
enced lately is the way staff at somebusinesses treat customers.When entering these shops or
businesses you are greeted by a si-lence so loud it is quite deafening.The looks and attitudes of the staffgives one the impressionyouare ac-tually trespassing.When, out of desperation, you ad-
dress these staff the reaction is thatyou have disturbed some sort of un-seen meditation.Where are the days when a val-
ued customer – the pillar on whichthe owner and staff placed their fu-ture and survival – was given redcarpet treatment? No sooner has acustomer entered a businesspremises when they were over-whelmed with customer courtesy.Every pamphlet we are sent or
every advert is a message from abusiness inviting or imploringus tograce their business and spend ourmonies on their wares.But the staff need to be trained on
how to receive and direct the invit-ed customer – whether they pur-chase or not. Those who show cus-tomer courtesy are to be thanked.A quote from Henry Ford comes
to mind: It is not the employer whopays the wages. Employers onlyhandle the money. It is the custom-er who pays the wages.KEITH BLAKE
Special thanks to medical staffMYNAMEisRogerAugust and I live inWelling-ton, New Zealand.My dear son Rustum August passed away on
Thursday 30 August last year of leukemia.Iwould like to thankall the staff atGrooteSch-
uur Hospital for the seven weeks Rustum spentthere.(They include) Dr Davidson, Dr Strauss and
many more; Nurse Williams, J Olive, Z Abra-hams, CABooysen, C Booysen, R Bazalo, B Dav-ids, R Lloyd, XC Molly, N Solomons, S Slingers,
M Nwovhe, H Havenga, V Bent, R Ockhuys, FNdwandwa, S Holland and M Robinson.Also the cleaners, physio and Auggie, who al-
ways brought Rustum’s food with a smile.Spending such a long time with Rustum at
Groote Schuur gave me such great hope abouta positive South Africa again.I will be moving back to South Africa this
year.Thank you again, Groote Schuur Hospital.ROGER AUGUST
Call for help is quietenedI’MSHOCKEDbecause today I sawone of theFNB adverts under the heading “You canhelp”.In it, KellyBaloyi, a 17-year-old fromSowe-
to, eloquently pinpoints not only the issuesfacing ournation, but also her idea for a solu-tion.She is not calling for student boycotts, pro-
test marches or strikes. She’s not calling forburning of municipal buildings, looting ofshops or destruction of schools. She’s notcalling for barricading roads, burning tyresor the stoning of the police.She’s not singing songs that call for a ma-chine gun or the destruction of white farm-ers. She is simply asking for people to helpeach other.She says: “When you help someone, you
lift them up.When you lift them up, they canhelp other people, too.”
So why am I shocked? I am shocked be-cause FNB has bowed to pressure from theANC and the SACP and has now withdrawnthe advert. These two political parties be-lieve that this advert amounts to treason andundermines the government. This approachis reminiscent of the past apartheid govern-ment’s approach to those who opposed theirviews.No doubt FNB has realised that it needs to
heed (president) Jacob Zuma’s call, where hestated: “Business that support the ANC willprosper.”Perhaps they should rather look at some
of the statementsmade by (former president)NelsonMandela,who said: “Youwill achievemore in this world through acts of mercythan you will through acts of retribution.”ROGER WOODDiep River

A RETREAT ka-rateka returnedfrom Europe andAsia boastingtwo medals,from interna-tional tourna-ments, aroundhis neck.
Byron Wessels(18) has been prac-tising karate since2000 and is fast be-coming one of themost accom-plished young ex-ponents in theprovince.Wessels visited
Kazakhstan andIndia this month,where he claimedbronze in the Ka-zakh Kures Tradi-tional Wrestlingtournament andthe Asian Kick-boxing Champion-ships.The Premier College student first took up
the sport to learn self-defence – and then thekarate bug bit him.“I used to get bullied at primary school, so
I decided to join a karate club,” says Wessels.“I have been training with (my sensei) for
quite a bit now. I (no longer) get bullied, be-cause I ammore respected, after (mypeerswit-nessed) all the things I can do.”The trip to India and Kazakhstan was
Wessels’ first time outside of South Africa andhe was accompanied by his sensei. “It is agreat achievement. I experienced lots of thingsthere that I neveractuallydidbefore,”headds.Hoosain Narker, Wessels’ instructor and
grand master of the Ashihara Karate Interna-tional (AKI), first started karate in 1974 andopened his first school six years later.He establishedAKI in 1998 and the organisa-
tion has since spread the style of karate to 48different countries.Narker saysdespite the rapid growthand in-
ternational acclaim, he still considers his dojo
in Retreat a community organisation.“Because of our community involvementwe
consider ourselves as more than just a karateschool –we are an educational institution,” hesays.“(Students) need to bringme their school re-
ports and we actually check whether they aredoing well. We don’t only want to develop ka-rate people, but also people who can be a bene-fit to their communities.”Narker has been to several countries in
Asia, Europe and South America, and trav-elled all across the US and Canada teachingand competing in martial arts events.He will travel to Thailand to attend the
World Kumite Organisation South East AsiaCup, along with five students, at the end of themonth.AKI will also host teams from 18 other Afri-
can nations for the first African Festival ofTraditionalWrestling and Ashihara Karate atthe Western Province Sports School in KuilsRiver from Monday 25 February to Saturday2 March.

Peninsula set their sights on promotionLIAM MOSES
PENINSULA RFC will be gunning for pro-motionwhen the 2013WesternProvince clubrugby season kicks off in April.The Lakeside team currently languish in
Division Three – the seventh tier in the ninedivisions of Cape Town rugby – but theirnewly appointed head coach believes smallchanges could see the club climb to a higherleague.Creighton Bentley, who was elected as
head coach in October, believes the secret toturning the club around is attracting localplayers who chose to play their rugby out-side of the area.“I can’t see why we shouldn’t pull players
from this region instead of players having totravel to other clubs, when we can build aclub that can play in the SuperLeague in fiveyears. We have the right ingredients,” saysBentley.“There are definitely a lot of players in this
area, but at present they prefer to get in theircars and travel other clubs.”Peninsula RFC was formed in 1976, when
two Kalk Bay clubs, Marines and Excelsior,amalgamated. The club played at City Parkin Athlone and was made up of only Col-oured players during apartheid and, Bentleysays, the team has struggled to attract whiteplayers since the dawn of democracy andtheir move to Lakeside.Currently Peninsula draws most of its
players from Lavender Hill, Steenberg andthe ranks of the South African Navy, withvery few coming from the more affluent are-as in its immediate vicinity.The club came close to losing their Divi-
sion Three status last year, finishing eighth,just above the relegation zone, in the 10-team
league.Bentley attributes their poor performance
to a lack of funds and appeals to companiesin the area for support.“A lot of the players come from disadvan-
taged areas. They come from areas wheregangsterism, violence anddrugs are rife,” hesays.“If we can have some sort of sponsorship,
we cannot only feed them before games, wecould possibly give them something to takehome as well. I believe Peninsula can makea difference in these people’s lives with thehelp of a company and sponsorship.”Bentley hopes to attract players from the
Far South, as well as across the southernsuburbs. Anyone interested in joining or as-sisting Peninsula RFC can contact Bentleyon 084 7011 361.
GOALS: Neil van Schoor (left) and CreightonBentley, the public relations officer and headcoach of Peninsula RFC respectively, are hop-ing the help the club to promotion this year.

SOUTH AFRICAN women’s hockey stal-wardPietieCoetzee scored twogoals tohelpInvestec SouthAfrica to a 2-0win overAus-tria in their final World League round twomatch at Hartleyvale Stadium on Sunday.
SAwent through to theWorldLeague semi-fi-nals onSaturdaywhen theybeatAzerbaijan 7-0andSunday’smatchhadnobearingon that out-come.However, the host team still played to win
and the result was ensured by two sizzlingdrag-flick penalty corners from world recordgoal scorer Coetzee.The first goal came in the 10th minute after
BernieCoston’s pace down the rightwonSouthAfri-
ca their first penalty corner and Coetzee rifleda flat astro-burner into the bottom of the back-board.Six minutes later it was Shelley Russell’s
turn to use her pace and stick-ball control athigh speed to outflankherwould-be tackler andset up SA’s second penalty corner.Coetzee aimed for the top shelf this time and
beatAustrian goalkeeper JasminAnderlewithease.The double took Coetzee’s international tally
to 258 goals in 258 test matches.Although SA dominated the rest of the
match, further successful strikes didn’tmateri-alise.South Africa’s pace on attack was one of the
most impressive aspects of their play, and for-wards Russell, Coston and Sulette Damonswere just three of the frontrunnerswho burnedtheir markers away.The second team to qualify for the World
League semi-finals were Belgium,who beat Az-erbaijan 1-0 on Sunday.Fixtures for the third round will be an-
nounced when all second round fixtures arecompleted in March.Thewomen in green and gold now focus their
attention on the prestigious Investec Chal-lenge, which also involves world number oneand 2012 Olympic gold medallists Holland, aswell as England and Australia.The Investec Challenge kicks-off at Hartley-
vale Stadium in Observatory onMonday 4 Feb-ruary.It culminates in the medal matches on Sun-
day 10 February.
