This as men can allegedly be seen selling drugs at all hours of the day. A resident living nearby says he wasn’t aware of the problem until recently. “We would see many people frequenting the space and walking deep into the trees out of site, but we never knew why until we saw an exchange. A man opened a car door and handed over bags to two boys who were wait- ing on the field,” he says. The problem has been increasing, the man says, with new faces in the area all the time. “It really is affecting our safety and I am sure those selling are not from our area,” he says. The resident adds they opt for the cover of the trees and operate mostly at night. Kenwyn Neighbourhood Watch chairper- son Andrew Steyn says the property is not on their radar at this stage. “We are on high alert for drug trade as it is a problem in Kenwyn but we can’t com- ment on activities at the site as we are una- ware of it at this stage. I can confirm that there are several other hotspots that we are aware of in the area, but I am not at liberty to disclose that information,” he says. Steyn says the police are on the lookout for these hotspots and are conducting opera- tions. But Kenwyn Ratepayers’ and Civic Asso- ciation chairperson Hanif Loonat says the Chukker Road Open Spaces is a drug abuse and drop-off hotspot. “Most times we need to deal with the prob- lems ourselves. We can’t always phone the police for small problems like this as there are bigger issues and crimes taking place in the sector. There is also no denying that the station has a resource problem,” he says. He agrees that drug abuse and trade is tak- ing place at the site and users opt for the dark patches at night or make use of vehicles parked on the property. Loonat warns parents not to be ignorant. “Many times people will tell us there is no problem at the park but this is only because they are in denial. Get your children tested and also know where they are,” he says. Teens are also urged not to leave their drinks unattended and to not fall prey to drug dealers in the area who are looking to rope in innocent victims at parks and other hotspots. Police could not confirm the area was be- ing targeted but did say drug-related inci- dents were on the increase in the area. Operations have also been planned to ad- dress the issue. The alleged trade is conducted on council- owned land. Belinda Walker, Mayoral Committee member for Community Services and Spe- cial Projects, says they are not aware of the activities. “The land is zoned as undeveloped public open space and the City has not received any complaints of these activities. Should resi- dents suspect or witness any illegal activi- ties, they should phone Law Enforcement or Metro Police on (021) 596 1999 or the local police,” Walker says. She says there is a management plan in place. “Should residents request for trimming to be done for safety reasons, this will be inves- tigated and considered in terms of the City’s Tree Policy,” she says.

MANENBERG
Waiting forpaymentTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
ay up or shut downThese are the options contractors
have been left with by locals employedto fix the roads in Manenberg through theExtended Public Works Programme (EP-WP).
Concerns revolving around workers’payment, working hours and the employ-ment of local labourers have residentspushing for urgent resolutions to the prob-lem.
Community worker Anthony Barns con-firms numerous complaints have been re-ceived from residents who feel they are be-ing overworked with outstanding paymentpromised.
“Workers have threatened to go on strikeif they do not receive their outstandingmoney which they claim is owed to themby Construction,” he says.
Workers claim they have not been paidsince June for money they were supposedto receive for working overtime, on publicholidays, weekends and during the holi-day.
Site agent Sihle Theta says workers willreceive overtime and adds that a change inpayment policy for the EPWP has causedsome confusion.
“Initially our contract with the City ofCape Town regarding the Extended PublicWorks Programme did not include pay-ment for publicholidays.Wehave recently,however, been informed in writing by
council that we need to pay workers forovertime,” he says.
“We subsequently had a meeting withworkers and told them we would pay themfor the holidays worked. We didn’t specifywhen payment will be made but we are inthe process of finalising payments.”
Worker Michael Johnston says he has al-ready planned to use the money to pay offdebts and treat his family during the De-cember holiday.
“We all have things we want to do withthe money and have already made arrange-ments. We have worked the hours and nowwe want the money,” he insists.
Fellow worker Gary Absalom says theyhave had many meetings with manage-ment and will strike if payment isn’t re-ceived soon.
“We were told we would get paid forworking overtime, but we are still waitingto be paid. We haven’t received anythingsince June and there is no proper commu-nication from management’s side,” hesays.
“We only get paid for the hours we workbut here isn’t enough equipment for every-one to work. We all want to make moneyand the lack of equipment also causes trou-ble among workers. A lot of workers gohomewithout anypayment someweeks be-cause they weren’t able to work.”
Absalom says it is unfair that workersare suffering because of issues such as alack of equipment that are out of their con-trol.
“Workers aren’t lazy. Everyone herewants to earn some money and provide fortheir families,” he adds.
Miriam Isaacs says she knew it would behard labour when she accepted the job butshe just wants what is owed to her. “Wedon’t want to strike but if we are not in-formed of a final payment date soon we willhave no choice. We haven’t been addressedat all and if we don’t get paid we will strikeuntil we are paid,” says Isaacs.
Theta says: “We thought it best to paythem as a bonus on the last pay day but willtry to have the money available as soon aspossible. There seems to have been a mis-communication.”Abigail Lawn has beenlooking forward to the extra money. “It isalmost holiday and the extra money will goa long way in helping us to put food on thetable and buy something nice for the chil-dren.Formanyofus this is the only incomein the house and we depend on it,” she says.
“Most of us have worked as EPWP work-ers before and never have we experiencedtrouble with payment before. The extramoney will go a long way in assisting uswith paying for children’s school suppliesin January.”V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

HANOVER PARK
‘Praying the evil away’TARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Hanover Park residents are takingback their streets one Thursday at atime.
Last week marked the first mass commu-nity prayer vigil thatwill take place outsidea different court every week right throughthe festive season.Fed-up residents say they will be making
sure that for at least one night a week a dif-ferent part of Hanover Park will be able tofeel more safe every Thursday.Philippi Community Police Forum chair-
person Anthony Daniels says if a prayermeeting could be held every night theywould do that to show the community isnot going to sit around and wait to be thenext victims.“Our people and children are dying every
day. Innocent people are being killed for noreason and this must stop. We will gatheroutside every week to show the gangstersand criminals that the community of Hano-ver Park is stronger than any gang,” hesays.“We want peace and we want to feel safe.
We are praying for change and for violenceto stop. It is good to see so much diversityin our area and seeing everyone from somany backgrounds come together to bringhope.”Daniels says while the prayer vigil is a
good start, he is appealing to parents tospeak out when they know their childrenare involved in crime.“Asparents I knowwewant to protect our
children, but when our children are thecause of other people’s hurt we can’t keepquiet. You must know where to draw theline,” he insists.“Too many parents are still covering up
for their children and hiding guns anddrugs. This needs to come to an end. Weneed to unite against crime and help by ex-posing all criminal activity.”In the past fewweeksmore than 20 people
have died in Hanover Park.The prayer meetings are being held as a
follow-up to a march against violence heldtwoweeks ago (“Hanover Park awar zone”,People’s Post, Tuesday 11 November).Ruwaydah Kader says she would like as
many residents as possible to attend.“We can’t sit and watch how crime and
violencedestroys our community.Childrendon’t have childhoods any more becausethey are scared and can’t be allowed to playoutside,” she says.“This has gone far enough and we are
gatvol.Wewant to pray away the evil in ourcommunity. Here is so much talent andgoodpeople living inHanoverParkandeve-rything is being overshadowed by the mur-ders, shootings and other crime,” she says.“I am proud of my meet and greet team
for supporting me in this initiative to stopcrime. We started this together and I amglad to see that somany people are support-ing it.”Concerned parent Ashley Vardin says
children are traumatised and have forgot-ten how to smile. “Children witness class-mates and teachers being injured or killedat school. When they are at home they needto stay indoors to prevent them from beingshot. It isn’t fair. Their innocence has beentaken away,” she says.“Everyday I sit atworkworriedaboutmy
child’s safety. I am sick and tired of it.”Resident Johan Wessels says it feels like
nothing is being done to restore order to thestreets.“This is a war zone. I feel very unsafe. Po-
lice aren’t doing enough to secure our safe-ty because they can’t be everywhere. I wantthe army to come into Hanover Park andmake things right,” he says.“People want the army to come to Hano-
ver Park and at first I didn’t agree, but atthis rate I wouldn’t mind if the army camenext week. It is almost holiday and wheneveryone is at home I don’t evenwant to im-agine how many innocent people will bekilled.”Philippi police spokesperson Lieutenant
LanceGoliath says police continue tomoni-tor and increase visibility inHanover Park.“Most of our resources and manpower
are being deployed in Hanover Park. We
have increasedpolice visibility andare con-centrating on being in a different gang areaeveryday.At least for that dayall gangbusi-ness in that vicinity is forced to stop andwe have also made a number of arrests,”says Goliath.“We appeal to residents to come forward
with information regarding illegal gunsand drugs. Let us know where these thingsare being hidden so we can confiscate themand make the streets safer.”V For additional information contact Ruwaydah Kad-er on 082 779 7593.

Choosing theright beatTARREN-LEE HABELGAARN
#@LeeLaVidaLoca
Teenagers are being challenged tochoose the right beat.Dance or crime? A group of hip hop
instructors aims to give children in Hano-ver Park a positive alternative to crime.Justin Williams says when children are
left to their own devices it is easy to get in-fluenced by criminal elements who prey onthe youth, but joining the hip hop group en-sures that children are kept safe while hav-ing fun.“I wanted to create an environment
where the children can let go and enjoythemselves; where they can just be chil-dren. Here is so much crime, fear and sad-ness in the community. Our children aresuffering the most,” he says.“Here is a lot of talent and our children
aren’t given the opportunity to shine. Thatis wrong andwemust change it. When chil-dren walk away from here I want them tofeel excited about something and forgetwhatwas bothering them. It allows the kidsto dream about a future for themselves andset goals. It’s not just about dancing.”On Saturday, residents and parents will
get the opportunity to see children performin a hip hop festival that will take place inTiberius Court from noon to 17:00.Anyone interested in playing a set or
learning the art of hip hop and rap will geta chance to perform at the open mic event.“I want people to come and relax and en-
joy the children. We need to focus more onthe positive and things we can change thanthe negative,” he explains.“The Hip Hop Park Jam in Hanover Park
will be an attempt to fight gangsterism andshow our youth that if they have a talentthen they can join us by picking up a micinstead of a gun.”Williams says as a musician his music
and creative technique continues to inspirehim daily and he hopes the Hip Hop ParkJamwill do the same for children in the ar-ea.“I always wanted to do something differ-
ent.Music is a safeway to expresswhat youare feeling and share your experienceswithother people,” he says.“It is a way to heal. If through this initia-
tive we are able to make a difference in justa few children’s lives and the choices theymake then we have been successful.”Williams says he is excited about their

An application to have three slot ma-chines at Cher’s Jazz Cafe inLansdowne was approved at subcoun-
cil on Thursday.The application was made by owner
Cherylene Langenhoven who says it wouldattract more people and bring in additionalbusiness.The business in Wetton Road was estab-
lished three years ago and has been operat-ing since.While some residents aren’t bothered by
the approval, others feel council has madea mistake by approving the application.“It will be three small slot machines and
won’t add much noise to the current opera-tions at my business. I think it could attracta lot more business for me especially fromthose who maybe want to unwind but don’twant to travel far to a casino,” she says.“I don’t think itwill be a disruption to resi-
dents. I have received a lot of noise com-plaints regarding the disco music that isplayed atmy business and by having the slotmachines I will be able to cut back on themusic.”Langenhoven says the machines will gen-
erate the income she needs to cut back ondisco music and other noise bothering resi-dents. “I will still do the karaoke but limitthe other dance party music. The slot ma-chines are very quiet and can’t be heard. Ihad two slot machines before and had themremoved while sorting out the paperwork torenew the license so that I wouldn’t have topay penalties.”But resident Kashifa Omar disagrees and
says she is against it for religious and socialreasons.“Most of the people living around the
premises are Muslim and it is against ourreligion to gamble. I think it is disrespectfulof the owner to even consider having a slotmachine at a premises,” she says.“Gambling can also be addictive and we
don’t want people to spendmoney that couldhave been used to provide for their fami-lies.”Vivian Allies says slot machines will in-
crease poverty and social problems.“I don’t want the slot machines near my
house and feel it is an unnecessary activityfor people to waste their money on. It is atemptation that a lot of people can’t resist.Wealreadyhavepeople strugglingwithalco-hol abuse, physical abuse and now we wantto add gambling to the list of problems. It is
completely un-necessary.”But not all
residents areagainst the idea.Olivia
Josephs sayspeople knowtheir own lim-its.“If someone
knows theyhave a gam-bling problemthey shouldn’tgo to a casino orplace wherethey have slotmachines. If itbrings in extramoney for someone thenwhynot?” she asks.Gadeeja Barns says she doesn’t think it
will be a disturbance to neighbours.“I don’t think three machines will cause
such a big noise that it disrupts people’speace at home. As long as there is no illegalactivity going on at the establishment andthe owner adheres to operating times I don’tsee why there should be a problem.”Subcouncil 17 chairperson George March
confirms the application was approved atthe subcouncil meeting on Thursday“The recommendations were given and
the owner has insured that all the relevantinstructions were followed. The applicanthas been compliant. After a vote for whichfour councillors were for it and two againstthe application, it was approved,” he says.V Starting with the word “Post”, SMS your thoughtsto 32516. SMSes cost R1.

@gvdcapejazz

with Heart 104.9FM, People’s Postand Tyger-Burger will host the Hot Summer Grooveconcert at the Grand Arena.Taking to the stage are some talents that
need very little introduction to local musiclovers and actually started in the businessalmost as toddlers.Manymoons ago inMitchell’s Plain the fa-
ther of Emo and Loukmaan Adams startedthe Kinners Vannie Ses project (it is still go-ing strong) and the tiny talents thatwere fea-tured in this show includedRamaineBarrei-ro and Alistair Izobell.The rest, as they say, is history with Emo,
Loukmaan and Alistair eventually gettinginvolved with the Kramer/Petersen produc-tions. All of themplayed the role of Broertjiein District Six – The Musical at one stage.Theywerealsopart of thephenomenalKat
and the Kings that toured internationallyand won a Laurence Olivier Award in Lon-don.Alistair smiles when he recalls those
heady days when they were performing andtouring with the best on the local entertain-ment scene.“The Rockets andAl Etto played a big part
in taking our talent to another level, eventhough we were so young,” he said.“Loukman and myself were part of a tour
to Japan as part of Ricardo and Friends.When we got back we were joined by Emo
and Ramaine who added another dimensionto our sounds and we were encouraged toform the group Nu Fancy.“This was about 1990, and we first record-
ed with the Rockets and then on our own.Remember that the recording studio wasnext to Club Fame in Elsies River.”Looking back Alistair feels that this start
into the entertainment business made themrealise their destiny.“I think after a few years we realised this
is what we were designed to do with ourlives. All of us had music in our back-grounds,” he said.“The Adams’ always had some people
practising there for the minstrels or the Ma-lay Choirs. They participated in those com-petitions from young.“At Ramaine’s place the whole family
loved music; she was always singing tothem. And inmine therewere somany fami-ly members who played music but I am theone that took to it professionally and haveno regrets.”The concert will also feature the Sama-
nominated female vocal group Black-byrd.The Take Note band will be on stage.If you buy a ticket to this show you will

Post offices closed by landlordsMALHERBE NIENABER
Some post offices in the Mother City haveapparently unexpectedly closed its doors asa result of rent arrears.It seems at least eight post offices across
the peninsula were closed by landlords onlast week Tuesday 18 November.On the same day, the South African Post
Office reiterated that it is experiencing aproblem with cash flow, which contributedto the shutting down of the branches.Mary Gilchrist, provincial Post Office
spokesperson, said they had “discovered”that the rent for certain offices were notpaid.She said it was unclear how many
branches were affected, but the relevant
branches are mainly located in shoppingmalls.
Die Burger recently reported on the PostOffices’ financial predicament, which in-cluded a loss of R500m in the past sixmonths.Union members have been on strike for
the past four months.In addition, the board of the Post Office
resigned from their posts on Friday 7 No-vember.Gilchrist confirmed the following
branches have been closed: Sable SquareShopping Centre, Century City; Blue RouteMall, Tokai; Westgate Mall, Mitchell’sPlain; Ottery Centre; Kenilworth Centre;RiversideMall, Rondebosch; CavalierMall,Blue Downs; and Eerste River. – Die Burger
Warning against job scamA new job scam has emerged in the past fewweeks, which is affecting some hospitalsaround the province.Provincial health minister Theuns Botha
warns residents that random SMSmessageshave been sent to citizens which requirethem to deposit an amount of money into anaccount in order to secure jobs, and topresent it at a hospital.He says adverts have also been placed in
local newspapers.Helderberg, Valkenberg, Groote Schuur
and Lentegeur hospitals have been targetedin the scam.“People have been caught unaware and
when they present to one of the hospitalsthey realise it was a scam and they have lostthe money they deposited,” he warns.“This has been reported to the police for
investigation. This is a very cruel offense,to falsely excite job seekers and to rob theirmoneyon top of it - taking advantage of thosewho are desperately seeking job opportuni-ty.”All Departmental recruitment is donevia community newspapers and the depart-ment website (www.westerncape.gov.za) fordepartmental vacancies, where an officialZ83 form will need to be completed. No gov-ernment posts would require applicants tomake payments.

QUINTILE SYSTEM
Call for changeAs the academic year draws to an
end, provincial educationministerDebbie Schäfer has again called on
the national education minister toamend its Quintile System.This after the provincial education de-
partment’s records showed that it willpay out more than R44m to fee-payingschools in the province for school fee ex-emptions granted last year.The Quintile System determines how
much funding a school will receive fromgovernment. It divides schools into fivedifferent quintiles, which is determinedby the geographical location of theschool. Schools in affluent areas are usu-ally placed in Quintile 5, while a schoolin a rural area or township is usuallyplaced in Quintile 1.This means a school which is located
in an affluent area, no matter the areawhere the pupils live, will determine theultimate funding of a school.Schools in Quintile 1 are no-fee
schools, which means the school is runsolely on government funding.In a statement, Schäfer says: “While I
am pleased that we have been able to as-sist our schools inproviding fee compen-sation for fee exemption for some of ourpoorer [pupils], the reality is that thereare a growing number of parents whosimply cannot afford to pay school fees.This is an unfortunate consequence ofour ailing economy. As a consequence,more has to be done to assist the poorand our schools serving poor communi-ties.”If the school fees are more than 10%
of parents’ combined annual salary,they qualify for fee exemption.They can also apply for partial exemp-
tion if the fees are between 2% and 10%of their annual salary, depending on thenumber of children they have at a fee-paying, public school.“A successful application for fee ex-
emption ultimately means that the par-ent is exempted from paying school fees.Therefore, that school will not receivethat specific pupil’s school fees, whichplaces strain on the schools finances,”Schäfer explains.“While we recognise the important
role which fee exemptions play in grant-ing access to the poor and relief in tougheconomic times, we are also cognisantthat many of our schools are strugglingfinancially and are dependent on the col-lection of school fees to sustain variousprojects, resources or governing bodystaff establishments.” Since provincialgovernment’s decision to financiallysupportno-fee schools in 2011, it haspaidout over 100%more than four years ago.“I, therefore, again appeal to [national
education]ministerAngieMotshekga toamend the Quintile System. In theWest-ern Cape we have tried to alleviate theeffects of the system by allowing someschools inQuintile 4 to apply to be no-feeschools,” Schäfer says.“However, as a result of our own fi-
nancial constraints, we cannot expandthis further this year. Fee compensationhas provided some assistance, butwe ul-timately need to change the currentQuintile System for schools that genu-inely serve poor [pupils] to receive therequisite support from national govern-ment.”She adds the suggestion will noterase all fee exemptions in the province,“but it would certainly help many par-ents who cannot afford to school fees.

As Spud fans acrossthe country preparefor the release of
Spud 3: Learning to Fly, atthe end of the month,Spud’s Rambo is enjoyingbeing a big fish for awhile.Lansdowne’s SvenRuy-
grok plays the role ofRambo, a member of “theCrazyEight” in themoviefranchise based on thebooks by South Africanauthor John van de Ruit,but says he was “not pre-pared at all” for the suc-cess of the films.Despite the success of
the Spud novels, Svenpoints out that books andfilms are two very differ-ent mediums.“A lot can go wrong in
converting a book to afilm,” he says, adding: “We were also allyoung kids then, coming together to shootour first ever feature film. The success ofthe film was not even a synapse in ourminds.”Sven originally auditioned for the role of
Pike, the school bully and Alan ‘Boggo’Greenstein, another member of “the CrazyEight”, before being chosen as the film ad-aptation’s Robert ‘Rambo’ Black.“I first auditioned for the role of Pike and
then got a callback for the role of Rambo,”Sven recalls.“I remember in the audition room the di-
rector and producers were concerned that
I was too short. So theymade me read for the roleof Boggo as well. A fewweeks later I got the callthat I was to play Rambo.”His involvement in the
first film ignited a passionfor film and put him “onthe acting map, so tospeak”.He’s since been in-
volved with film produc-tions like City of Violencewhich was released in Oc-tober, where he co-starredopposite Orlando Bloomand Forrest Whitaker.He will also be seen in
the sci-fimovieOutpost 37,set to be released nextyear and the Ellen DeGe-neres film, Sophia Graceand Rosie’s Royal Adven-ture.Theatre-lovers will
have seen Sven on theMaynardville open-airtheatre stage where he
played Puck in their last production of AMidsummers Nights Dream and he per-formed inAlice inWonderland under the di-rection of Fred Abrahamse earlier thisyear.While he haswork lined up, Sven sayshe isn’t always busy, something he feels isimportant for fans to know.“Often people can glamorise this indus-
try. It’s not glamorous at all,” he says.Instead, Sven says, the film industry is
filled with “unpredictability, instabilityand long dry patches”.V Spud 3: Learning to Fly will be released in SouthAfrican cinemas on Friday 28 November. Visitwww.peoplespost.co.za to watch the trailer.

C ar seats for infants are no longer anoption.With amendments to the National
Road Traffic Act (NRTA) parents and car-egivers are now forced to ensure childrenaged from 0 to three are buckled up.An announcement on the amendments
was made by provincial transport ministerDonald Grant last week where he made anappeal to parents to buckle young childrenin appropriate car seats and protect themfrom horrific injuries.
LawIn a statement, Grant explains the amend-
ments were promulgated on Friday 31 Octo-ber.He highlights the changes which stipulate
that all children from newborns to the ageof three have to be transported in appropri-ate child seats when travelling in private ve-hicles.Alida Jones, former Fish Hoek resident
and founder of Drive More Safely, is excitedabout the amendments and has spent sever-al years lobbying for the changes.She explains after assisting at an accident
scene on the N1 in 2011 where a young childhad died, she studied the Act to see what thestipulations were regarding car seats.“I noticed that therewasnothing to ensure
that young children were buckled up and itstated that children three and older shouldbe in a car seat if available,” she explains.Jones says she was concerned and started
lobbying for the law to be changed.She is happy about the changes but ques-
tions the enforcement thereof.According to the statement the penalty for
not obeying this new rule has not yet beendetermined.
This will be based on a submission of rec-ommendation to the chief magistrates of dif-ferent districts for consideration and ap-proval.“Recommendations will need to be made
in respect of all new offences that have beencreated by these amended regulations,”Grant adds.
FatalitiesGrant explains an analysis conducted by
Safely Home, using audited fatality datafrom the Forensic Pathology Services of theprovincial health department, showed themajority of the bodies of young childrenwhodied as passengers in road crashes were re-covered outside or under the vehicle.“The presence of the body outside the ve-
hicle is a near-certain indicator that thechild was not restrained or was improperlyrestrained, as ejection does not occur whenan appropriate child restraint is used,” hesays.According to the statistics provided by the
department, 292 children aged from zero to14 were killed in accidents in the WesternCape between 2011 and 2013.Of this total, 27werebabies agedbelowone
year old and 36 were children aged betweentwo and four.Of the 27 babies, 11 were found outside the
vehicle and seven inside. It is unknownwhere the remaining nine were found.Of the 36 children aged between two and
four, 21 were found outside the vehicle, 10inside and the location of the remaining fiveare unknown.Commenting on the statistics, Grant says
the presence of the body inside the vehicleis not an exclusionary factor in determiningif the child was restrained or not.“The analysis therefore erred on the side
of caution by default,” he says.“The data is indicative of a minimum of
two small children being killed on WesternCape roads each month after being ejectedfrom a vehicle in a road crash,” he says.Grant further explains passengers ejected
from a crash face a 75% chance of beingkilled due to ground impact injuries and col-lisions with other objects and vehicles.
AwarenessIn December 2011, Jones made an appeal
to Far South residents to donate unused carseats to the organisation.The car seats are then given a makeover
and the organisation ensures they are inworking order.Jones explains the car seats are then given
to familieswhoneed themand the first dona-tions were given in Fish Hoek in 2012.To date they have donatedmore than 4 000
car seats.She has now appealed for parents and car-
egivers to be responsible and ensure chil-dren are buckled up.“When you lose a child it is too late. It best
for all of us to take responsibility and ensuretheir safety,” she adds.
V If you would like to donate a car seat or are in needof one phone Jones on 081 311 3223 or email [email protected]

Akio Toyoda has seen the fu-ture and it’s called Mirai.That’s the name of Toyota’s
new fuel-cell car which the compa-ny’s president announced in a vid-eo the day before the car’s officiallaunch.Mirai, which means ‘future’ in
Japanese, is said by the automakerto be a turning point for the auto-motive industry with the promise“of a world that is safer, greenerand easier for everyone”.In Toyoda’s words: “This is a car
that lets you have it all with nocompromises.”Toyota says the car has the cruis-
ing range of a conventional saloon,can be refuelled in less than five
minutes, and emits only water va-pour.The four-door will launch in Ja-
pan with the price-tag reading $57500 - about R637 000 and a heavyprice for a modest, if rather sexy,family car. Toyota is hoping for 400sales in 2015 followed by Americanconsumption of 3 000 a year by2017.All that’s needednow is an ad-equate number of hydrogen fuel-ling stations.This is what Toyoda said in the
video: “Today, we are at a turningpoint in automotive history wherepeople will embrace a new, envi-ronmentally-friendly car that is apleasure to drive. A turning pointwhere a four-door sedan can travel
500km on a single tank of hydro-gen, can be refuelled in under fiveminutes and emit only water va-pour. A turning point that repre-sents many years and countlesshours ofworkbyour team to createa car that redefines the industry.All of us at Toyota believe in a fu-ture that will be safer, greener andeasier for everyone. We imagineda world filled with vehicles thatwoulddiminishourdependence onoil and reduceharm to the environ-ment. It was a bold, but inspiring,goal - today it is a reality.”He explained that the fuel cell in
the car could create enough elec-tricity to power a house for a week,though the fuel could bemade from
anything - “even garbage”.He added that he did some test
driving and found that it was notonly emissions free but also its lowcentre of gravity allowed “very dy-namic handling”.“After surviving millions of
miles on the test track and 10 yearsof testing on public roads in freez-ing cold and scorching heat… afterpassing extensive crash tests…and after working with local gov-ernments and researchers aroundthe world to help make sure it iseasy and convenient to refuel…weare ready to deliver.”For Toyota, he said, the Mirai
was “not just another car”.– Wheels24

Run-flatsfor allRun-flat tyres are now avail-able for mass-market cars.That’s the word fromBridge-stone which has launchedDriveGuard, a range of run-flat tyres for vehicles thatdon’t have them as originalequipment.Hiroshi Nakanishi, a
Bridgestone manager, said:“DriveGuard allows driversof such cars to enjoy all thebenefits of run-flats. If aDriveGuard tyre is punc-tured the driver can contin-ue the journey at reducedspeed until reaching a safeplace to change the wheel.”DriveGuard is built on the
technology of Bridgestone’sexistingRFTrun-flat tyres. Ifa DriveGuard tyre is punc-tured, a maximum speed of80km/h can be maintainedfor 80km.Nakanishi added: “The
ability to keep driving aftera puncture is extremely im-portant for family cars - rath-er than changing a wheel atthe roadside the family canget safely home froma poten-tially dangerous situation orkeep going at reduced speeduntil they reach a safer loca-tion. This is a great benefit ifthe puncture occurs during arainstorm or in heavy traf-fic.”Bridgestone says the tyres’
construction also delivers amore comfortable ride thanconventional tyres. Drive-Guard is available in a rangeof sizes to fit wheels from 15”to 18” diameter. – Wheels24

Mazda’s new babyMazda has revealed its all-new CX-3 to
the world in a special event on the eveof the 2014 Los Angeles auto show.
The all-new crossover SUV is the fifthmod-el inMazda’s line-up of new-generation vehi-cles to feature the full suite of the company’saward-winning SkyActiv technology alongwith the Kodo – Soul of Motion - design.With the global market launch set for Ja-
pan in early 2015 - it’s expected in South Afri-ca in the third quarter off 2015 - the CX-3 willbecome a core member of Mazda’s modelline-up.Units forEurope, usually the sameas those
scheduled for South Africa - will have achoice of three engines and four drive trains:
. Petrol SkyActiv-G two-litre tuned for
two power versions.. Anew SkyActiv-D 1.5-litre diesel.. Six-speed SkyActiv-Drive auto andman-
ual transmissions will be offered for eitherfront- or all-wheel drive.The new car will also have active safety
systems and “superb passive protection” foroccupants from its light yet stiff shell. Mazdasays the cars are also “suited to the needs ofamodernmarket”with “a generous infotain-ment package, including in-car connectivi-ty”.TheMazdaCX-3will be ondisplay through-
out the 2014 Los Angeles show alongwith theall-new Mazda MX-5, the 2015 Mazda CX-5and the 2015 Mazda6, which are also makingtheir debuts. – Wheels24
Getting closer to autonomous carsAs millions of cars are under recall forpotentially lethal air bags, designers aretrying to reduce the need for the device- using sensors, radar, cameras and la-sers to prevent collisions in the firstplace.With driver error blamed for over 90%
of road crashes, the thinking is it wouldbe better to have them do less of the driv-ing. TheUS Insurance Institute forHigh-way Safety found that forward-collisionwarning systems cut vehicle-to-vehiclecrashes by 7% - not a huge leap,but a po-tential life saver. Nearly 31 000 peopledied in car crashes in the USA in 2012.Thomas Weber, global R&D head at
Mercedes-Benz, said: “Passive safety fea-tures will stay important, and we needthem. The next level is now visible. Au-tonomousdriving forus is clearly a strat-egy to realise our vision for accident-freedriving.”While giving a computer full control of
a car is some way off, there’s a lot it cando in the meantime.For now, in some cars you can take
your foot off the pedal and hands off thewheel in slow-moving traffic, and the carwill keep pace with the vehicle in front;it can jolt you awake if it senses you’renodding off; alert you if you’re crossinginto another lane; and brake automati-cally if you don’t react to warnings of ahazard ahead.How close this all comes to leaving the
driver out of the equationwas illustratedbyanexperiment atDaimler in 2013: add-ing just a few off-the-shelf components toaMercedes-Benz S-Class, a teamwent ona 100km ride in Germany without hu-man intervention.Team member David Pfeiffer said:
“The project was about showing how faryou cango, not justwith fancy lasers, butwith stuff you can buy off the shelf.”
Such features, however, require solv-ing thorny problems, including how toavoid pedestrians. While in-car camerasare good at identifying and classifyingobjects, they don’t work so well in fog orat night. Radar, on the other hand, cancalculate the speed, distance and direc-tion of objects, and works well in limitedlight, but can’t tell between a pedestrianand a pole. While traffic signs are sta-tionary and similar in shape, people areoften neither. For a better fix on direc-tion there’s LiDAR - a combination oflight and radar - which creates a pictureof objects using lasers. Velodyne’s sen-sors on Google’s autonomous car, for ex-ample, use up to 64 laser beams spinning20 times per second to create a 360-de-gree, 3D view of up to several hundredmetres around the car.Mercedes’ ‘Stop-and-Go Pilot’ feature
matches the speed of the car in front inslow traffic and adjusts steering to stayin lane using two ultrasonic detectors,five cameras and six radar sensors.“This technology is a first major step,”said R&D chief Weber. “(However dis-tracted the driver is), the system miti-gates any accident risk in front.”The next stage, experts say, is a road
network which talks to cars, and wherecars talk to other cars. General Motorshas said its 2017 Cadillac CTS will trans-mit and receive location, direction andspeed data with oncoming vehicles via aversion of Wi-Fi. Other approaches in-clude using cameras tomonitor the driv-er. Not everyone, though, welcomes thisprogress. Some drivers complain thetechnology is intrusive, or is inconsist-ent. Chris Hayes, a vice president at in-surer Travelers, said: “If a safety featureis seen as intrusive or bothersome, adriver may try to circumvent or disableit.”

Walk Away:be a heroMost children think of their schoolshoes as the ultimate burden that com-pletes a dreary uniform.It represents 12 years of slog and for
many the first sign of freedom fromwearing those shoes is to relegatethem to a pile of discarded clothes im-mediately after writing that last mat-ric exam. Some may even think ofburning those shoes on a very highfire.But imagine the alternative if you
didn’t have those same school shoes tocarry you through all the seasons – es-pecially during our cold winters whenyou have to negotiate puddles of rain?In some families children have to
share the same pair of shoes, with sib-lings taking turns to wear them.Hard to imagine, right? Not quite.This is the reality formany children
from less fortunate backgrounds.Their parents simply don’t have themeans to scrape together enoughmon-ey for school shoes. So many of themgo to school barefoot.You can be a hero. You can do so by
simply leaving your school shoes atyour desk after you have written yourlast exam for the year.Please ensure you ask your parents’
permission to do so. The shoes need tobe inusable condition –nobody shouldwear broken shoes to school. Tie theshoes together so the pairs are not lostwhen they are boxed up. People’s Postrequests that the shoes are boxed andready for collection in the new year.V Participating schools donating shoes cancontact People’s Post at [email protected] with the words “Walk Away” in thesubject field.
CHILDCARE
Appreciating the nannyNannies, children and their parents
gathered for a fun event in Lansdowneon Saturday for a children’s art poster
competition and a charity art auction.An auction of artwork made by children
and their nannies raised close to R4 500 fora crèche in a disadvantaged area in Mitch-ell’s Plain.The auction and a poster competition was
part of a fun day attended by 350 parents,children and their nannies.Nanny ’n Me is an organisation that
brings children and their nannies togetherwith occupational therapists on aweekly ba-sis for educational fun activities.Nanny ’n Me founder Lara Schoenfeld
says the event was organised to acknow-ledge the vital role nannies play in thechild’s educational journey.“Wewanted to showappreciationwhile al-
so showcasing everything the nannies andchildren have learnt in the year,” she says.“It was a wonderful day. It absolutely met
and exceeded my expectations for the day.It was great to see everyone interacting andto see the relationship between nannies andtheir children and how these have blos-somed as a result of Nanny ’n Me groups.”The nanny and child poster competition
was judged byProfessor Elelwani Ramugon-do, the previous head of division of occupa-tional therapy at UCT.Over 70 entries were received and prizes
were awarded for most creative and re-sourceful, best application of learning inchild development and the most involvedchild in producing the toy or activity.Super Nannies, one of the leading nanny
agencies in South Africa, sponsored twoprizes for the event, a first aid course for par-ents and a child safety course for nannies.Theorganisation specialises inplacingdo-
mestic workers in family homes and train-
ing child carers withfamilies in CapeTow, Johannesburgand Pretoria.It has partneredup
with Nanny ’n Me tocreate a platform forchildcare and up-skilling nannies invarious disciplineslike childcare, safetyand stimulation andwork together onvarious marketingand educational ini-tiatives.“All the research
proves that the first1 000 days (first threeyears) of a child’s lifeare crucial in termsof the groundworkthat is laid for the fu-ture adult.“The brain is al-
ready 85% of theadult size and it is vital that children arestimulated properly, building the firing andwiring hardware of the brain,” Schoenfeldadds.Super Nannies marketing director Karin
Thomsen says the work Nanny ’n Me doesis crucial as it also helps to develop nanniesand upskill them.“There are not many opportunities for
nannies to grow in their jobs and often theirwork is not appreciated and acknowledged,”she says.“The training makes such a difference to
the nannies’ lives, it totally validates themand the role they play in households. It doesnot matter if they complete childcare cours-es or learn how to stimulate toddlers with
educational activities. The knowledge notonly helps the child they are looking afterat their employer’s home but also their ownchildren at home and their communitieswhere they share their newfound know-ledge.”Thomsen says upskilling nannies also
helps them in their relationship with theiremployers, who also learn more about theeducational needs of their children and howtheir nannies are involved in this.“It is so important forpeople to realise that
treating your employees well and investingin developing their skills and educationalabilities will result in a better relationshipbetween your child and your nanny and alsoin a happier and more satisfied employee.”

The Magic will face Zizwe United in theNedbank Cup play-off final.Four teams from the ABC Motsepe
League went head-to-head at Chukker Roadthis past weekend in search of a place in theNedbank Cup play-off final.Zizwe United FC faced newcomers Barce-
lona FC who has really impressed in theleague thus far. Barcelona were surely hop-ing to carry their superb showing in theleague through to theirNedbankCup semifi-nal match-up.However, it was the Khayelitsha-based
outfitwho took a 2-0 lead into the break,withSiyambonga Madikane and Bathandwa“Lanka” Mzilikazi finding the back of thenet respectively for Zizwe.Barcelona displayed an elegant passing
game as they looked to get back into thegame, but Zizwe’s Madikane went on toscore his brace and gave his side a three-goallead. In the closing stages of the game,Barce-lona received a penalty and managed toscore a consolation goal to end the game 3-1.Meanwhile, George Dearnaley’s side The
Magic came from a goal behind to level mat-terswith FCTygerberg in the dyingminutesof the game. Damian Mitchell gave FC Ty-gerberg the initial lead, before GhaalibAvontuur got the equalizer. The Magic thenwent on to claim a 5-4 penalty shootout win.With only one team from the Western
Cape’s third tier eligible to play in the Ned-bank Cup tournament, it means that ZizweUnited and The Magic will soon face eachother to decidewhowill claim the spot in thelucrative tournament. – CapeTownFootballFacebook page

Beasts continueunbeaten runSTEVLIN MALGAS
Cape Town All Stars let yet another derbymatch slip through their fingers whenthey played to a 1-1 stalemate with FC
Cape Town at the Athlone Stadium on Fridayevening.Coach Boebie Solomons was left haplessly
looking to the stars as his charges lackedcomposure in the final third to secure theirfirst home victory.The seventhCapeDerbyof the season start-
ed off at a blistering pace, with the FC CapeTown outmuscling their hosts in the openingexchanges.Starswere shining the brightest in the 40th
minute when midfielder Zaphaniah Mboko-ma gave his side the lead against his formerteam. The host took a 1-0 lead into the breakas the African Beasts were left licking theirwounds.
Stars continued where they left off andstarted the second half the brightest. Howev-er, following two quick substitutions for theAfrican Beasts, it was Sibusiso Masina whofound the back of the net for the visitors tolevel matters nine minutes into the secondhalf.The game soon opened up as both teams
searched for the winner and although Starshad more clear-cut chances, they failed capi-talise on them to regain the lead. Meanwhile,the visitors had their chances as well, butweredeniedby theheroics of goalkeeperKylePeters.With neither side able break the deadlock,
1-1 ishow it endedas the twoCape sides addedto their draw masters reputation. The resultsaw FC Cape Town record their eighth drawin eleven matches, while Stars are not far offwith seven draws. CapeTownFootball Face-book page
