INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
In a fight for independenceMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
With limited options for lifelong learn-ing, many intellectually disabledpeople fight a constant battle for in-
dependence.This month authorities and organisations
like Cape Mental Health are shining a lighton the plight of children and adults with in-tellectual disabilities (ID) and the challengesfaced when accessing post-school qualifica-tions.
AwarenessMarch is Intellectual Disability Aware-
ness Month.In South Africa and according to a state-
ment by Cape Mental Health pupils with IDhave limited opportunities for lifelonglearning, education and employment oncethey exit the school system.“There are few, if any, post-school qualifi-
cations offered at a suitable level of under-standing, with appropriate training meth-ods and materials, to suit their special edu-cational needs.”The organisation has embarked on a cam-
paign to raise awareness about the equalrights of persons with ID to lifelong learn-ing, education and employment opportuni-ties in the open labour market.
ChallengesAccording to Cape Mental Health spokes-
person, Chanelle Albertyn, pupils with IDface a host of challenges.She says children with ID who do not par-
ticipate in programmes after school often sitat home without any stimulation, becomebored and may be vulnerable to substanceabuse and unlawful behaviour.“They remain dependent upon their fami-
lies. That can have a significant impact ontheir self-esteem, as they see others aroundthem transitioning into adulthood and con-tributing to society,” she says.Albertyn further explains pupils with ID
who are medium to high functioning attendLearners with Special Education Needs(LSEN) schools but find it hard to access ac-credited post-school training due to theirlack of academic qualificationwhen they ex-it the school system.“They are unable to benefit from Techni-
cal Vocational Education and Training(TVET) and Further Education and Train-
ing (FET) Colleges which require an NQFlevel 1 qualification in order to gain admis-sion,” the statement says.Albertyn says one of the biggest challen-
ges is the perception that people with IDhave little or no educational needs, and thatthey cannot be gainfully employed andmakea meaningful contribution to society.
InitiativesConsidering the challenges the organisa-
tion has partnered with organisations inGermany and has researched and investi-gated best practice models in German-basedorganisations and institutions. It has devel-oped a draft concept and course outline fora post-school qualification that will changethe lives of youth with intellectual disabili-ty.Cape Mental Health director Ingrid Dan-
iels sayswithmore pupilswith IDbeing edu-cated there is a greater chance for them toaccess gainful employment and enjoy im-
proved livelihoods through economic activi-ty.According to their statement, significant
funding is required to enable them to devel-op and implement a post-school qualifica-tion for pupils with ID.OnFriday 6Marchprovincial social devel-
opment minister Albert Fritz opened TheOpen Circle, a newly-established grouphome for adultswith intellectual disabilitieson the grounds of Alexandra Hospital inMaitland.The group home, which is funded by pro-
vincial government, renders residential andoutpatient services to intellectuallydisabledadults who display challenging behaviour.
SupportIn their concept document, Cape Mental
Health proposes a three-year post-schoolqualification.In the first year, learners will focus on an
introduction to adulthood and the world ofwork.In the second year they get exposure to dif-
ferent career options and related skills.In their final year they are provided with
career-specific orientation and preparationrelating to exit opportunities.The document further says the coursewill
include classroom training and practicalwork placement in a suitable work environ-ment.“The course modules will include practi-
cal work skills, individual career develop-ment and guidance, life skills, health andsafety, understanding work and employ-ment, as well as fundamentals such as nu-meracy, literacy and communication,” itsays.Albertyn says the organisation is in need
of funds to develop the course and welcomesdonations.“The public can help us raise awareness
by liking ourFacebookpage and sharing ourposts,” she adds.V If you would like to help call Cape Mental Healthon 021 447 2416 or visit www.facebook.com/cape-mentalhealth

CRIME
Police to focus on ‘trio crimes’SAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Carjackings, house robberies and busi-ness break-ins continue to plague resi-dents living in the Lansdowne police
precinct.In two of themost recent incidents a wom-
an was held at gunpoint while three menbroke into a home in the precinct.
On Wednesday 25 February at 02:15 sus-pects drove off with a Mercedes Benz withthe registration number CA392288, saysLansdowne police spokesperson SergeantNkululeko Mnyaka.
“According to the 55-year-old victim, shearrived home and got out of her vehicle toopen the garage door at her CamberwellRoad home. She heard a noise and saw fourmen approaching her. One of them pointeda firearm at the woman and took her vehiclekeys and handbag,” he says.
Two of the suspects drove off in the carwhile the other two drove off in a blue FordFiesta. They fled in an unknown direction.
A fewminutes after the incident, the Fies-ta was found abandoned on Jan SmutsDrive.
And on Thursday 26 February at 12:25,three unknown men forced their way into ahouse in Ladbrook Road, Kenwyn.
A 25-year-old woman was hanging wash-ing at the back of the house when she feltsomeone grabbingher frombehind,Mnyakaexplains.
“The suspect held a sharp object to herneck on her left side and pushed her into aseparate entrance demanding money. Shegave themR400 cashwhichwas in her hand-bag,” Mnyaka says.
The suspects then pushed her to theground as they fled in an unknown direc-tion.
There were three men – one armed witha screwdriver and two others carryingknives.
One suspect was wearing a black t-shirtwith red trousers, another a black t-shirtand black jeans and the third accomplicewore a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
A case of house robbery has been openedfor investigation.
No injuries were sustained and no arrestshave been made at this stage.
These are but some of the crimes stationcommander Colonel Jan Alexander plans totackle in a multi-pronged approach.
“Front line service must be improved toensure that our clients are getting the ser-vice they deserve as quickly as possible. Thepatrol vehicles attending to complaints alsoneed to improve reaction time when attend-ing to complaints. Two new patrol vehicleswere delivered recently to ensure visibility.The focus will be more on trio crimes – busi-ness robberies, house robberies and car-jacking – which are problematic in the pre-cinct,” Alexander says.
Other facets include partnership policing,improving investigation time, partneringwith other security agencies and instillingteam spirit among the officers at the station.
Alexander believes establishing partner-ships with all community-based organisa-tions such as religious groups, governmentdepartments, businesses, NGOs and NPOswill build a community-orientated policingenvironment in the precinct.
“These partnerships will be built throughawareness campaigns, attending to commu-nity gatherings, visiting churches andmosques and through public participationmeetings. Formation of community safetystructures such as neighbourhood watchesin the precinct, street champions on socialnetworks and joint ventures with securitycompanies operating in the area are alreadyin place,” Alexander says.
Alexander also hopes to improve detectiveservices to ensure that attention is given toall cases and feedback to complainants aregiven regularly, in turnbuilding trust in vic-tims of crimes.
Alexander has also pledged to provideweekly crime threat and pattern analyses toall partnerships in the area which is theCommunity Police Forum, subforum struc-tures and neighbourhood watches to enablethem to come up with strategies to combatcrime in their respective areas.
These will also be coupled with joint oper-ations with neighbouring stations on a sub-cluster level.
These programmes have made a vast im-pact on crime reduction and ensuring perpe-trators do not have free movement from onearea to another.
But more so, Alexander believes, that
boosting themorale of the staff is important.“Wewill boost this byusing services avail-
able to the police to ensure that the commu-nity is being serviced professionally and get-ting the service they deserve,” he says.V Anyone with information on crime in the precinctis urged to phone the Lansdowne Police Station on021 700 9000.

ed International Women’s Day with amusic concert at a local school present-
ed by the provincial police band.The event was held at the Phoenix Senior
Secondary School (SSS).According to Lieutenant Ian Bennett of
the Manenberg police the aim is to honourthroughmusic all the women in the commu-nity who contribute to the upliftment of Ma-nenberg in various ways as, among others,mothers, teachers, aftercare workers, nurs-es, community and social workers.He says the police continue to strive to
serve the community and instil a sense ofpride through awareness initiatives.Bennett says Brigadier André van Dyk re-
alises the important rolewomen playwithinthe Manenberg policing precinct.“Through bringing the provincial band to
Manenberg we want to acknowledge the ef-forts of our women (in the community).“Women play a pivotal role within our ar-
ea andwewant to thank themandencouragethem to continue to keep hope alive so thatgood moral values can be instilled in ouryouth,” says Bennett.He says the pupils and staff of Phoenix
Senior Secondary always see police officersexecuting operational duties, but were (to-day) inspired through music and dance bythe police band.
“The youth is not themain and easiest tar-gets for the police, but they are vulnerablefor criminal activity. We want the youth tosee us [the police] as their partners andfriends in the fight against crime,” says Ben-nett.The Manenberg police also rolled out a
Youth for Human Rights programme at theschool.“Protecting human rights are important
and if the youth can ensure the protectionof each other’s human rights we will defi-nitely see a positive change in our communi-ty,” says Bennett.He says the police encourages the commu-
nity to report criminal behaviour that could(negatively) influence the youth.International Women’s Day is celebrated

Cops need community’s helpStanding together will solve crime.
This is the sentiment of local policewho continue to strengthen partner-
ships between themselves and the communi-ty.Part of the police’s strategy is to mobilise
the community, says Philippi police spokes-person Lieutenant Lance Goliath.“Street and court committees in Hanover
Park were established over a period of timeand are actively involved in the preventionof crime. Lomond, Mentz and Moray courtsall experienced shooting incidents over thepast few weeks,” he says.Police mobilised the respective residents
by means of imbizos.A recent imbizo was held at Lomond
Court.The commander of Visible Policing and
acting station commander Lieutenant-Colo-nel Desmond Laing, sector commandersWarrant Officer Tobias Allies and WarrantOfficer EttienneConradie addressed the res-idents of the court on crime, the role of thecommunity in the prevention of crime andthe prevention of organised crime (Poca)act.“Residents in turn raised concerns and
gave us input on issues. The residents wereencouraged to report crime and corruptionof police officials and the community,” Goli-ath says.“Pamphlets with contact numbers of the
management of Philippi police, the relevantsector vehicles and contact details of the an-ti-gang and drug unit were also distributedto the residents.”Police are further appealing to thebroader

Mystery plant is ‘a bromeliad’A reader named Jenny recentlyrequested that People’s Post readershelp her identify a plant that isgrowing in her friend’s garden in FishHoek (24 February).
She described it as follows: the outer“leaves” are pink and the little flowerson the inside are yellow.
The leaves are fleshy with sharpspikes along the edges, and the flowers(pink parts) seem to be hidden under-neath.People’s Post has received the
following responses from readers:. The picture of a flower growing in
a Fish Hoek garden is a BilbergiaNutans, commonly called Queen’sTears. It is one variety of bromeliads,a species of epiphytic plants, whichare forest growing plants and get theirnutrition from leaves. This falls intothe cup formed by the leaves and rotin the water trapped by the cup. Theyonly flower once, but produce sideshoots that will flower when they arebig enough. The parent plant willeventually die back. – Amory Borwick. Another reader who called agrees it
is a Queen’s Tear..An anonymous reader who called
People’s Post says it is a pineappleplant and they come from the bromeli-ad family. However, she says, it is nota Queen’s Tear.. This is a Bilbergia. I have three
pots crowded with them in Bergvliet. –Pat. The flower is a Bilbergia nutans. It
is of the epiphytic bromeliad, whichgrows in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentinaand Uruguay.
The ‘leaves’ referred to in thepicture, are, in fact, its bracts. It is adistant relative of the ineapple (brome-liaceae family). – Yvonne Misplon. It is a Beschorneria yuccoides, a
species of succulent plants belongingto the family Asparagaceae, subfamilyAgavoideae. – Johan du Plooy, Scape-man Landscaping. The plant is a type of Bilbergia,
which belongs to the bromeliad family.I do not know exactly which one, thatis its variety name. – GeraldineWalden. The flower comes from a family of
plants known as urn plant or bromeli-ads which originates from SouthAmerica and a small section intropical Africa. They are monocotyle-dons and interestingly the pineapplebelongs to the bromeliad family. Theyare often called urn plants due to theirability to hold water like an urn. Thespecies in question that the readerwanted identified is called Queen’sTears (bilbergia nutans). –- LucindaHoldridge, Constantia Hills

makes your heart as happy as connect-ing to all of these incredible thingsaround you and feeling their presence.As my yoga teacher would say: aware-ness, acceptance and serenity.
Such a different picture to what I waspresented with recently.
What I saw was like a scene from apost-apocalyptic movie. Nothing movedin the ravaged landscape, except the ashon the breeze. It is deathly quiet. Thereare no chirping sounds from the birds,only a few black birds circling in thehazy grey sky. I felt like I was in ablack and white movie. I have seen somany images over the last few days.One of a large tortoise that was burnt todeath, but on the upside, another imageof a fireman holding a tortoise that hehad just saved, with an amazing smile
on his face. I have seen burning bushesand trees, but [on my walk] alongKommetjie Road I saw a firemanpedalling to work with a huge branchfull of green leaves in his hand...
Just witnessing this makes me realisehow blessed my family is to be part ofthis amazing community that knowshow to pull together when faced with acatastrophe of this magnitude.
Rebirth is incredible, but unbelievablysad that these beautiful plants andcreatures need to go through this inorder for rebirth to take place.
While the fires are still raging, it ishard to see the devastation all aroundus knowing all of this may well havebeen caused by one or two individualswith selfish reasons or no reason at all.It has taught us all to be closer, strongerand more appreciative of this gorgeousplace we live in.
ANGELA GOMES
Devastation of the fireI have such a heaviness in my hearttoday. I took a drive into the mountain.The mountain I wake up to everymorning, the mountain I walk throughevery second day and the mountain weall love. What I was confronted with wasutter devastation. Only [two] weeks agoI walked through the same mountainwith a group of people. The messagefrom our leading lady on the walk wasto just try to get as close to nature aswe could, which was not very difficultgiven our beautiful surroundings.
The birds were sitting ahead of us inour paths, the butterflies were restingon the fynbos, which was covered indewdrops from the morning mist. Thebushes were rustling with life as wewalked past them. Huge bumblebeesrested on the opening proteas. Nothing
Major funders of grassroots programmes should ques-tion whether they’re basing decisions of aid on pre-1994 perceptions. The noble National Student Fi-
nancial Aid Scheme has been hamstrung by corruption.And while private donors continue to fill the gap, most
of the funding goes to the same schools. It looks good onthe corporate CSI budget for government photo opportuni-ties to help those perceived to be in need. But how do youknow if tangible needs are being met? These perceptionsare legion and feed the inequalities which are perpetuatedthrough a system of skewed decision-making in education,employment and funding. Of course many citizens remaintrapped by the barbed wire set by apartheid.
And, yet, are some of us more equal than others?How long do post-apartheid generations have to live in
the shadow of labels, such as “disadvantaged” or “previ-ously disadvantaged”? It is rich to assume all children at-tending previously advantaged schools happen to be theoffspring of well-to-do parents. Not every white child isrich. Not every black child is poor. These are inconvenienttruths. It would behove donors to launch investigations in-to genuine need and come face to face with ground levelreality. But that would require bravery, commitment andcourage – and getting out of multi-level plush offices.
It would surprise the corporate decision-makers to findthe leafy suburbs have people who are battling to makeendsmeet in this depressed economy.Andmanywhopleadpoverty while living in townships have far more disposa-ble income than is declared.
It is time to act on conviction. This would be a step to-wards real equality in this new South Africa.
Without authentic action our country will not move intoa position of equal distribution of wealth. We will not builda non-racial nation with a true middle-class to oil thewheels of the economy. And other nations will continuewooing our sharp minds with offers neither governmentnor the private sector could compete with.
Atbest,we canonlyhope for a threadypulse on theheart-beat of our economy.

You can’t call her Jou Ma SeJou Ma Se Comedy Club has a new name,but the same heart.Renamed the Cape Town Comedy Club,
founder and co-owner Kurt Schoonraadsays: “This is quintessentially a coming-of-age story.”The brand was first created in 2005 and
part of the Cape Town Festival, as a tongue-in-cheek “Pop up Comedy Club”. In 2007, theclub moved to the Albert Hall inWoodstock,whereKurt’s idea to provide a regular, repu-table stand-up clubwaswelcomedwith openarms by Cape Town’s laugh-craving popula-ce. Word soon spread, and Jou Ma Se Come-dy Club became known as the mother of allCape Town comedy clubs and home to someof the country’s greatest talent. The clubmo-
ved to TheRiver Club inObservatory in 2010until October 2013. In November 2013 thebrand found a permanent home at the histo-ric Pumphouse at the V&A Waterfront.After a successful first year at the club’s
new home, themanagement team decided torename the club toCapeTownComedyClub.“Onreflection thenamechange seems like
a natural thing to do. It feels like the brandis all grown up now and the new name re-flects that,” Kurt explains.V The Cape Town Comedy Club hosts comedy nightsfrom Wednesdays to Sundays. Tickets cost R95 forWednesday and Thursday night shows and R120 forweekend performances. Tickets are available at Com-puticket. Visit www.capetowncomedy.com for theclub’s line up.

Timebomb, the first single off Can Sky-lark’s new EP, Overdrive, has alreadycharted on Heart 104.9fm and received
airplay on commercial radio stations in theUnited States.This isn’t surprising, though, when you
consider that the hit was written by multi-platinum award-winning songwriter PamSheyne.Can travelled to Los Angeles, America,
last year to work with Pam who is bestknown for her work with pop heavyweightslike Christina Aguilera, Cyndi Lauper andElton John. In fact, Pam was the writer be-hindChristina’s famousGenie inabottleandlocal listeners will also already have heardher work in the song Lifeline she wrote forElvis Blue.It was Can’s vocal coach who set her up
with Pam and “before I knew it, I was board-ing a plane and on my way to California”.The song is a bit of a collaborative effort andCan says: “We just went into studio and Ti-mebomb was born.”Overdrive, and with it, Timebomb, marks
a change in music direction for Can.“I’m very excited because I’m venturing
into uncharted waters,” she says. Can re-leased her first album, Pure, in 2012. Thistime around, though, she’s being a littlemore adventurous with her sound.She says she decided to fuse the integrity
of “the old Can Skylark”, in terms of vocalability and her stage performances, with amore “programmed” and edgy sound.“It’s a young and fresh kind of sound.”
The release of Overdrive comes just a fewmonths after Can released another chart-topping track, So high, which she wrote andrecorded with SA Idols musical director RJBenjamin.The song was already a bit more pop-driv-
en than her usual soulful sound.“Aswith any and everything in life, evolu-
tion takes place. Therefore, as an artist, Ifirmly believe in evolving and not to ever godown as a copy of myself.”Overdrive is a taste of what’s to come from
Can when she releases her new full-lengthalbum later in the year.In themeantime, she hopes to tour nation-
ally and internationally and directs fans toher Facebook page to stay up to date withher performance dates and plans.V Visit www.peoplespost.co.za to see some of thehighlights from Can’s Overdrive launch show at theRoxy Revue Bar.

Cape Town All Stars continue to climbthe NFD table, while Milano Uniteddropped points at this weekend’s NFD
encounters.Milano United continue to struggle at
home and failed to secure maximum pointsagainst Baroka FC, despite taking a two-goallead. Eezy My Kinnes looked the more vi-brant side in the early stages of the match,and ultimately took the lead in the 20th min-ute through Ganief Stellenboom, followinga scramble inside the 18-yard area.
Four minutes later, the visitors thoughtthey had levelled matters, but Hlabane Ku-tumela’s effort was ruled out as offside.
Baroka found their confidence late intothe opening half, and once they did, they cre-ated a number of opportunities of their own,but were denied by the safe hands of goal-keeper Lee Langeveldt. The Kinnes made it2-0 in the opening minute of the second peri-od when Deniro Stanley caught the visitorssleeping at the back. However, in the 62ndminute, Irvin Shibure gave his side a lifelinewhen he pulled one back from a free headerinside the danger area.
Things only got worse for the hosts whendefender Chad Robertson got shown a
straight red for an off-the-ball incident.Baroka took full advantage of the extra
man on the field, and did extremely well tohold onto possession and stroked the ballaround beautifully in search of the equali-zer. A minute from time the visitors were re-warded with a penalty, to which captain GiftMotupa made no mistake to convert as hehelped his side to snatch a point in their 2-2draw. Meanwhile, Cape Town All Stars con-tinued their scintillating form when theyclaimed a 2-0 win over Royal Eagles. Twosecond half goals by the in-form AmigoMemela was enough to maintain his side’sfourth position on the NFD table.
FC Cape Town managed to scrape a singlepoint from Witbank Spurs, when theyplayed to a 2-2 draw at Parow Park. Spursinitially took a two-goal lead into the break,before the African Beasts fought back toclaim a draw.V Visit www.capetownfootball.co.za for more matchreports and football news.

A group of about 20 friends belonging todifferent running clubs in theWesternCape, will be ‘Chafing for Dreams’ dur-
ing the upcoming Old Mutual Two OceansHalf marathon (Omtom).“We decided to run in aid of a community-
based organisation in appreciation of thecommunity’s involvement in supportingroad runners when we are participating inroad races – whether it is by cheering us onor doingduty atwater stations on the route,”says Amorett Truebody, one of themembersof Chafing for Dreams.“TheOmtommakes provision for running
for a specific charity, but we decided to se-lect a charitable organisationwithin our im-poverished community with its scarce re-sources.“But before we selected the beneficiary of
our charity initiative, we decided on a namefor our group of running friends.Aftermuchdiscussion we decided on Chafing forDreams. It actually has a two-fold signifi-cance for us.We chose chafing becausemostof us only started with road running a yearor two ago. So, this half marathonwill causea lot of chafing and inconvenience to uswhile running, but we are prepared to sufferand endure discomfort for a worthy cause.Furthermore, we added the word dreams,because with limited resources community
organisations find it difficult to realise theirdreams or achieve items on their wishlists.By running for aworthy cause,we can assista community-based organisation in realis-ing some of their dreams. Yes, we will bechafing for dreams,” says TruebodyTheir beneficiary is Sherwood Park Spe-
cial Care Centre for kids suffering from se-vere mental disorders, trying to instil somedignity in these kids who are many timesforgotten by society at large.
