Beach drownings at alltime lowThe 2014/2015 festive season will go downas one of the safest on record for the City’sbeaches.
This as the number of drowning inci-dents dropped significantly when com-pared with the previous festive season.
Three drowning incidents were record-ed on beaches for the festive season, be-tween September 2014 and January 2015,compared to 18 drowning incidents overthe same period in 2013/2014.
With tens of thousands of people on theCity’s beaches over the festive season,this is an extraordinary feat, says City ofCape Town Sport, Recreation and Ameni-ties Department director Gert Bam.
“We are pleased that the combined ef-forts of all role players have yielded suchpositive results.
The department’s extensive summersafety campaign helped to educate mem-bers of the public on basic safety tips toobserve when on the beaches.
In addition, law enforcement officershave been highly visible and have confis-
cated a substantial amount of alcohol,which helped to reduce the number of in-cidents associated with intoxication,” hesays.
The decrease in the number of drown-ing incidents is also reflective of the quali-ty of the lifeguard service provided byLifesaving Western Province and their as-sociated lifesaving clubs – particularlyover the weekends around Christmas andNew Year’s Day when a number of peoplewere assisted by the lifeguards on duty,Bam says.
“Despite the drastic drop, every drown-ing incident is one too many and each in-cident is documented and reviewed to en-sure that further precautions are taken toprevent such incidents from happening inthe future,” he says.
“Members of the public are reminded toswim only in designated swimming areasindicated by flags Law Enforcement offic-ers patrolling beaches to assist in ensur-ing that people swim only in designatedareas.
“We ask that all people respect the in-structions of both lifeguards and Law En-forcement officers and also report any ir-responsible behaviour in the water, suchas people swimming off the rocks, so thatthey can keep people safe.”
Here are some safety tips to keep youand your family safe:
• Always swim between the red and yel-low flags. These indicate safe, supervisedswimming areas. An area outside of theseflags could have dangerous rip currentsand tides.
• Only swim in areas where other peo-ple are present. Swim in groups and in-form friends or family when you go swim-ming.
• If you find yourself in trouble, raiseyour arm and wave to attract the life-guard’s attention. Try not to panic, as thiswill make you tired.
• If you see someone in trouble in thesea, alert the lifeguards or find trainedhelp. Do not put your own life in dangeras well.
MANENBERG
Bringing hope to childrenSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Youth empowerment is a top priority fora new non-profit organisation (NPO).
The Silence Violence campaign wasstarted last year to combat the social illsplaguing impoverished areas in Cape Town.
Gangsterism, unemployment and crimeare some of the daily issues for Manenbergresidents, says chairperson Monique Ponto.
“The community of Manenberg live in asociety where gangsterism and drugs is a so-cial burden that has and continues to affectfamilies regardless of social status or ethni-cal backgrounds,” she says.
“Despite ongoing efforts from communityleaders and local government to raiseawareness and implement preventativestrategies to combat this social burden tothe ‘everyday man’, it may seem as thoughwe’re fighting a losing battle. This may betrue, but there cannot be enough emphasisplaced on raising awareness and educatingour youth about the consequences of drugabuse and violence.
The youth-driven initiative was foundedspecifically to educate youth about the dan-gers of drug abuse and gang violence, butmore importantly, empower the youththrough sport, motivation and education,thereby equipping them with the necessary
knowledge, Ponto explains.“The idea behind the campaign name, ‘Si-
lence Violence’ is an oxymoron in which ‘si-lence’ refers to an end to violence by makingnoise, being vocal and addressing the socialburden at hand. So in an effort to assist inlessening this burden, Rio Grande [PrimarySchool] has became our school of choice tolaunch the Silence Violence initiative,” shesays.
During a contact session with pupils andteachers in June last year, Silence Violenceofficials were informed of the harsh reali-ties of violence and abuse.
“We did not realise how extensive thisproblem was until we conducted the schoolvisit. We gained a greater insight on the im-mense effects gangsterism has on our chil-dren. That a childlike innocence can be tak-en away instantly, the minute a child is ex-posed to an unpleasant environment,” shesays.
The group of prospective health practi-tioners feel obliged to become advocates ofhealth, especially in these areas.
“In doing this we cannot accept the cur-rent circumstances our youth are broughtup in. With that being said, Silence Violenceis a shared passion that we hold dear to ourhearts. It is for that reason that we have es-tablished the Silence Violence Campaign asa recognised NPO,” she adds.
The organisation’s vision is to contributeto lessening trauma and violence in disad-vantaged communities of the Western Capeby establishing a sustainable anti-violenceinitiative that educates and empowers theyouth, doing so in the hope of instilling asense of ownership in their futures.
“We intend on achieving our visionthrough monthly contact sessions with theGrade 6 and 7 pupils of Rio Grande. Thesesessions will comprise of three componentswhich is education, interaction and motiva-tion,” Ponto says.
“What makes the campaign unique is thatit is a youth-driven initiative, ‘for the youth,by the youth,’ and in keeping with thiscomponent we provide the youth with theopportunity to give back to the communityand assist in the fight against drug abuseand violence in the Western Cape as awhole.”
The organisation is also asking like-mind-ed individuals to assist them in their questfor a better future.
Prospective volunteers, social workers,professionals in various career fields, es-teemed personalities in sports and the localentertainment industry are welcomed.
If you would like more information aboutthe organisation or if you would like to getinvolved, email [email protected].

Wetton jazz clubs scrutinisedTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
Lansdowne residents are calling on po-lice to take action against clubs in Wet-ton Road allegedly operating after
hours.Rumours of drug peddling and 24-hour ac-
cess are someof the claimsmadeagainst jazzclubs in Wetton Road. The owners howeverdeny this.Residents living close to these establish-
ments insist the owners are operating afterhours and allowing large groups of crowdsto gather and make a noise in front of theproperty.They have had enough and are rallying to
have these establishments licences revoked.Lansdowne Community Police Forum
(CPF) spokesperson Thetha Sithole says theestablishment is notorious for disobeyingthe lawand emphasises the communities pa-tience are growing thin.“They cannot trade 24-hours a day. I don’t
knowwhy a club was allowed to open in thisarea in the first place. How is it possible thatthey were able to obtain a license and wasthere a public participation process?” heasks.“If I listen to the complaints surrounding
the establishment I can’t imagine that thecommunity approved of the application,” hesays.Sithole says drunk fights and loud vol-
umesofnoise andareonly someof the thingshe has heard people complain about.“When intoxicated, people’s behaviour
changes and unfortunately in our communi-ty it leads to violence or theft.We can’t allowpeople to operate until the early hours of themorning because then it allows people todrink more,” he says.Club co-ownerHenryOliver denies allega-
tions and insists they have been compliant.“We have never operated after hours. I
have heard many rumours going around re-garding our place, but that is all that theyare, rumours,” he says.“It frustrates me when people disapprove
of others’ success and we have had trouble
since we opened. There are always peoplemaking up stories and false accusations. Ifpeople are drunk outside it is not our faultand it can’t be said that they got intoxicatedat our establishment.”Lansdowne police spokesperson Sergeant
Nkulukeko Mnyaka says they are keepingan eye on the property.“We have had endless problems with the
owner of the business before and it is a well-known establishment in the area,” saysMn-yaka.“We have increased our patrols around
the property over weekends to ensure theyare compliant to the conditions of the li-cense. We have issued warnings to the own-er before, for operating after hours, but willcontinue to monitor the property closely.”Shahieda Salie says she has logged many
complaints with council and the police butnever sees long-term results.“The owner only ever seems to get a rap
over the knuckles, but I want to see the placeshut down. Substance abuse only leads totrouble and creates more violence within
the community,” she insists.Resident Andre Baatjies agrees, saying he
doesn’t want increased patrols he wants thebusiness closed.“Why are these clubs allowed to be opened
24- hours weekends,?” he fumes.

Police aim to recruit matriculantsSAMANTHA LEE AND TARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@Samantha_Lee121 and @LeeLaVidaLoca
Another year has come and gone, and soanother class of matriculants havesaid goodbye to their school careers.
Provincial minister for education DebbieSchäfer, last week congratulated pupils andschools for their achievement.The Western Cape was the only province
where each school district managed toachieve a pass rate of over 80%.With the announcement onTuesday 6 Jan-
uary, police in the district also took the op-portunity to recruit new members.Lansdowne, Philippi and Manenberg po-
lice officers handed out pamphlets anddeliv-ered speeches to the matriculants who stilldon’t have a plan of action for the year.With an 82.2% pass rate for the Western
Cape, schools in Lansdowne have alsoachieved some excellent results.Out of the seven high schools in the distri-
bution area, 1 013 matriculants wrote theirfinal exams.Of thosewhowrote, 778 success-fully completed their high school careers.Alexander Sinton High School in Craw-
ford was the best performing school, with a94.3% pass rate.Alexander Sinton High School’s deputy
principal Micheal Petersen says despite adrop in the pass rate, the school is pleasedwith a 59.2% of bachelor passes.However, he says they had concerns.“As a school we are concerned about the
new curriculum system but we are lookingforward,wewill continue to assist the pupilsas best we can to assure they pass,” he says.Coming in second, Oaklands High School
achieved a 91.8% pass rate.Other totals include Windsor High School
with 84.1%, Groenvlei High School with81.6%, Mountview High School with 79.1%,CrystalHighSchoolwith 71%,PhoenixHighSchool with 61.1%, Manenberg High Schoolwith 47.6% and Silverstream SecondarySchool with 30%.Silverstream Secondary principal Leslie
Pieters says the school is disappointed intheir 30% pass rate, but says teachers willcontinue to bring their A-game.“We teach in very difficult circumstances
and the ongoing gang violence has had a bigaffect on our teachers and students. Despiteall our challenges the staff is very dedicatedand we will continue to try our best,” hesays.Pieters says another challenge which has
affected the pass number of pupils passingis pupils who progress tomatric without theproper foundations.
“This is a huge problem. If a child isn’tready for matric but is accelerated by thesystem that child is not properly equippedto pass matric. We will have to go back tothe drawing board to see how we can help
our pupils.”“We are already busy with afternoon
classes and extra teaching time, but we willhave to comeupwith additional assistance,”Pieters further explains.

Helping those in needTARRENLEE HABELGAARN
@LeeLaVidaLoca
The Macedonian Feeding Scheme isshowing the way in helping those inneed.
Twice a week, the organisation, situatedin Manenberg, opens its kitchen for morethan 385 impoverished and unemployedyouth, homeless people, the elderly andschool children from the surrounding areasof Heideveld, Cathkin, Valhalla Park andManenberg.The team of volunteers at theMacedonian
Feeding Scheme work tirelessly to providenutritious meals to those who have no otherresources to rely upon.Last year the organisation received a mo-
bile kitchen from Breadline Africa.Projects Officer for Breadline Africa, Ed-
na Titus, says the Macedonian FeedingScheme brings much-needed care and sup-port to the community.“A food preparation area was a basic need
that BreadlineAfrica identifiedwhenwe be-gan working with this organisation. Today,we are thrilled to be donating a convertedkitchen container to this project, giving vol-unteers a hygienic venue to prepare mealsfor vulnerable members of the community,”said Titus.Breadline Africa, a Cape Town-based non-
governmental organisation (NGO), is one ofthe biggest suppliers of converted contain-ers for poverty relief in Southern Africa.Since 1993, the organisation has providedover 250 containers to resource-poor com-munities. The containers, which are sturdyandwatertight, are transformed intomobilestructures, which are used as educare cen-tres, libraries, soup kitchens and ablutionfacilities.
“The containers are a lifeline for manystruggling communities, they provide in-stant and vital infrastructure,” Titus said.“Our projects try to establish a level of
self-sustainability within the community.”At the handover ceremony, Ola’s Paddle
Pop also delivered ice creams to beneficiar-ies of the campaign. Paddle Pop ended its
“week of joy” campaign in theWestern Capeas it delivered 53 800 ice creams to hospitals,orphanages and charities in and around theMother City.

More bang foryour buckMalls are abuzz with moms
and scholars that are tick-ing off items from the
school’s stationery lists. Evenmore stressful than cramped shop-ping malls is scraping together themoney to get your children school-ready after the carefree spendingof the holiday season.Eunice Sibiya, head of consumer
education at a South African bank,says although most of us prioritisesaving for an education under thetop three reasons to save, parentsoften factor in the large amountssuch as school uniforms and text-book fees and exclude or underesti-mate the costs of stationary.“Costs can add up to R400 for one
child and this only factors in oneof each stationery item typicallyfound on the stationery list. Thecosts of one, let alone more thanone child, can easily leave you ina financial tight spot in January,”she says.Sibiya suggests the following
ideas to avoid going financiallybust during the back to school sea-son:
Bit by bit“Buying school supplies in bits
and spaced out over the year whenyou do your monthly or weeklygrocery shopping is lighter on thepocket than buying all the items atonce.Buy the basics ofwhat your child
will need in January and purchasethe rest later - this could be a sav-ing grace after the December fes-tivities,” she says.It also gives you the opportunity
to teach your children about budg-eting with smaller amounts thatthey can wrap their heads around.
Build it upAstationery cupboard or drawer
means that you will always havesupplies ready when the childrenrun out of pens or exam pads andit often works out cheaper as youcan capitalise on year-round spe-cials, Sibiya says.Don’t forget to take stock of the
children’s stationary leftovers atthe end of the year.“Children tend to want new sup-
plies at the beginning of each yearwhen they might still have itemsthat can be used in their currentstationery tins. Reuse or swop theitems that are still usable amongstthe children.”
Dual giftsThe use of technology is becom-
ing ever more present in theschooling environment and al-though lower grade scholarsmightnot need tablets yet, it is likely thatthey will need these devices andlaptops from high school. Insteadof incurring the cost in the newyear, be savvyandmakeabirthdaygift out of it.
Alternatively, use a match-fund-ing approach to teach your chil-dren the value of money and theprinciple of delayed gratification.“Make the proposition that if
your child saves a half or third ofthe device cost, you will come tothe party with the additionalfunds. Such techniques instil a sav-ings culture in your children andwill result in them taking owner-ship in lookingafter their devices,”suggests Sibiya.
Plan aheadThe school year is filled with ac-
tivities thatwill require additionalspending.To avoid last minute costs that
need to be incurred but were notbudgeted for, draw up a rough esti-mation of what these costs mighttally up to by requesting yourchild’s school calendar and plan-ning around sporting season,school tours and school activity ex-penses such as aValentine’s ball ormatric dance. Based on this, de-cide on an amount that can be setup as a scheduled transfer to yoursavings account at the beginning ofeachmonth.On topofhavingpeaceofmind that there are funds availa-ble, your money will also growthanks to compound interest.“A bit of budgeting and savvy
savings techniques such as theabove can go a long way,” con-cludes Sibiya.
Swimmers urged to be onshark alertBeachgoers have been warnedto be vigilant for sharks duringthe summer season.According to a statement by
the City of Cape Town the pres-ence of great white sharks inthe in-shore areas increasesthis time of year.The Fish Hoek shark exclu-
sion net is being deployed andretrieved daily and Shark Spot-ters are monitoring identifiedbeaches to ensure the safety ofall visitors to in-shore areas,council says in a statement.Since September, there have
been 57 shark sightings atbeaches monitored by theShark Spotters.There have been 36 sightings
atMuizenbergCorner, seven atFish Hoek, five at Monwabisi,three at St James, two at KogelBay, two at Glencairn, onesighting at The Hoek in Noord-hoek and one at Clovelly.With the presence of great
white sharks at in-shore areasexpected to increase over thesummer season, the City ofCape Town is ensuring that thenecessary precautionarymeas-ures are being effected.Shark Spotters are monitor-
ing identified beaches and theFish Hoek shark exclusionnetis being deployed and retrieveddaily.The Fish Hoek exclusion net
has proven to be an effectiveshark safety measure by creat-ing a physical barrier prevent-ing any sharks from enteringthe bathing area.Trials conducted during 2013
and 2014 indicated that the risk
tomarine life remains very lowand that there are high levelsof public support for the exclu-sionnet becoming a permanentfeature of Fish Hoek Beach.Until March, the Fish Hoek
exclusion net will operate on adaily basis, depending on theweather.Weekends, public holidays
and school holidays will be pri-oritised.The exclusion net will not be
deployed if weather conditions(wind and swell) are deemed tobe unsuitable; this will be as-sessed on a daily basis. Ifweather conditions deteriorateover the course of a day whenthe net is already deployed, thenet may be removed as a pre-cautionary measure.Additionally, if there is a
high presence of whales or oth-ermarinemammals in the areathe net will not be deployed.The net will also not be de-ployed when trek-netting istaking place in the area.If a whale moves into the ar-
eawhile thenet is deployed, theSharkSpotters herd the animalaway from the net and out ofthe area, using the exclusionnet boat.This is in accordance with
the approved Whale Disentan-glement Strategy and residentsand visitors should not be con-cerned if this occurs.On days that the exclusion
net is deployed, the operatinghours will be from 09:00 to17:00, and may occasionally beextended to allow for lifesavingtraining or events.

AlcoholconfiscatedBoozing on city beaches over the fes-tive season has seen City of CapeTown Law Enforcement officers im-pounding alcohol at a rapid rate.Between Monday 1 December and
Saturday 3 January, officers im-pounded 9 445 bottles of alcohol,amounting to 7 083 litres.The highest number of bottles
(3 520) was confiscated in Area East,which stretches from Monwabisi toGordon’s Bay along the False Baycoastline.Mayoral Committee member for
Safety and Security JP Smith saysthe number of confiscations is about2 500 bottles more than the corre-sponding period last year.“Like enforcement relating to pos-
session of drugs, these offences re-quire proactive policing, so the high-er number is good news from a polic-ing point of view. It also means thatmore people were left high and dryand for that we are grateful, becauseit has had an impact on other safetyaspects – most notably the reductionin the number of drowning incidentsover the peak period.”
Health tipsfor childrenIn the last-minute rush to make sure yourchild has their books, pencils and schooluniform ready, don’t forget to add a healthcheck-up to your to-do list.The City of Cape Town’s Health Directo-
rate has urged parents to add health checksto the list of ‘back-to-school’ preparationsfor their children, including vaccinations.According to the National Childhood Im-
munisation Schedule, children are giventhe tetanus and reduced strength of diph-theriavaccine (TdVaccine) at the ageof six,followed by another round at the age of 12,explains the City’s Mayoral Committeemember for Health Benedicta VanMinnen.“I want to urge parents to ensure that
their children receive these vaccinations,which are administered via an injection intheir upper arm. Prevention is always bet-ter than cure. Also, our clinics offer theseimmunisations free of charge.We still havea few days left before the academic yearstarts, so now is as good a time as any toget the vaccinations done for children whoneed to get these shots,’ she says.City Health staff are also well placed to
provide advice on good nutrition, which isa key focus of the directorate’s awarenessand education programme, Van Minnensays.“It makes sense to prevent more people
from getting sick, which is why we placesuch heavy emphasis on responsible be-haviour and good nutrition. Our staff canhelp parents with advice on finding a bal-ance for their child’s lunchbox that willpositively aid their growth and develop-ment, but also keep them healthy.”Van Minnen says obesity in children is
a grave concern around the world, so weneed to do everything possible to promotehealthy eating habits and exercise.

‘Police shot my dog’ angry manMANDLA MAHASHE
ATamboVillage dog owner has been leftfuming after a police officer allegedlyshot and killed his dog in front of his
three year old son.SqhamoPutuma, 50,watchedhelplessly as
his dog named “Polo” bled to death after be-ing shot on the neck on Tuesday 6 January.“It was around 16:00 when I saw a young
man run passedmy house while I was fixingmy gate. I knew that hewas being chased be-cause there is a lot of crime in this area.Moments after the man passed I saw a
group of police officers giving chase,” hesays.Putuma said it was during this chase that
his dog started barking.“A tall police officer pointed at Polo and
shot him in the neckwhilemy three year oldson Sikho watched on.The dog ran for his life but he died a few
minutes later,” explains Putuma.He further explains he and other commu-
nity members tried to question the policebut they never paid them any attention.“Instead of answering our question they
looked for the bullet case to hide the evi-
dence. Luckily, they didn’t find it,” he said.Putuma says the bullet case was found by
a neighbour.“We took it to the SPCA in Grassy Park
where we sent the dog.Wewent to the policebut they told us to give them the name of theofficer. How were we supposed to know hisname?” he asks.Putuma says he was heartbroken by the
death of his beloved Polo especially after hewas poisoned but survived last year.“I spent more than R200 in October after
he was almost killed by poison. He was get-ting better and my son loved him”
He says the incident has traumatised hisson as he was shaking the whole night andcalling out the dogs name.Neighbour Lucy Linko, 54, said that the
community was shocked at brutality of theincident.“Killing someone’s dog is like killing their
own child. It is really painful and whatmakes it even worse is that it was killed bya police officer. Who will protect us if theyare the oneswho bring us harm?” she asked.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-
ant Ian Bennett says that they are not awareof the incident.

St Martin’s stunWestridge YankeesJOSEPH PILLAY
The second half of the WesternProvince Softball Federa-tion’s season resumed in all
earnest at Turfhall StadiumonSat-urday.
And while Falcons worked theirway to a hard-earned 6-4 victoryagainst a gutsy Kenfac Philliesside, Tantasport was equal to thetask in beating VOB 7-4.
St Martin’s, meanwhile, turnedthe tables in recording a shock 4-3win over arch-rivals WestridgeYankees from Mitchell’s Plain inthe Super League competition thathad many fans smiling from ear toear.
However, coachWayne May andhis Glenthorn-Athlone side, stillsporting an unbeaten run to date,were not in action but are well-placed at the top of the standingshaving won all of their nine gameswith a full quota of 18 points in thebag.
They are twopoints ahead of sec-ond-placed Falcons (16 points) whohave played ten matches to date.
Nonetheless, with St Martin’shaving downedWestridgeYankeesand causing the latter to suffertheir fourth defeat in ninematches– Saints have moved up the ladder
to third position with 11 pointsfrom 10 assignments.
Head coach Natasha de Klerk’sYankees left it too late.
Trailing 4-0 at the top of the fifthinning,Yankees awoke fromadeepslumber and in the sixth battingframe registered their first runs onthe scoreboard when Aimee-LeighCampbell, Glynis Koopman andNuraan Williams each crossed thehome plate.
However, the three runs werenot enough to salvage a point orturn defeat into victory. Yankeesis seemingly no longer the team tobeat in the league or the biggestname in the game.
Neither do they drive fear intoopposition teams, leading to anumber of hardcore softball fansquestioning whether the club willever return to their former gloryagain and challenge for the title.
Besides Saints pitcher LindsayDamon showing her mettle on themound, the highlight of theBishopLavis side’s well-deserved victorywas the solo circuit hit – the homerun belonging to Elderisha Lan-genhoven, who batted 1-1.
Langenhoven was ably support-ed by Nawaal Nacerodien, BonitaCloete (three bagger) each 1-2, Dan-ielle Ford andKimCloete (each 1-3)
in which Saints smacked fivehits off Yankees pitcherMegan Ca-ble.
Cable in her sixth inning earnedfour strike outs, but also struggledto find the plate as she concededseven base-on-balls and the score-line could have been bigger had itbeen that Saints left seven strand-ed between bases.
However, Lindsay Damon heldher nerve and pitched a steadygame with a well marshalled fieldthat ably assisted her in almostregistering a shut-out victory toher name, considering that Yan-kees loaded the bases twice in thethird and sixth frame but could on-ly once score runs due to poor bat-ting.
Damon, in her six inning con-test, claimed two scalps and al-lowed threebase-on-ballswhile shegave up three scattered hits ofwhich Aimee-Lee Campbell,Glynis Koopman and RoxanneOhlsson fared best for Yankeeswith the bat.
Adding to the thrills and spills inthe Major League, StrandfonteinMets placed second on the log, beatBelhar Dolphins 11-0 while Aven-dale andNormies shared the spoils3-3 in an exciting and thrill-a-minute showdown.
