Reportingvandals‘too risky’
CHEVON BOOYSEN AND EARL HAUPT
The City of Cape Town has offered a re-ward for residents who come forwardto report the vandals who are destroy-
ing the GF Jooste Hospital building.The hospital, closed in April last year, is
scheduled to open its doors again in 2019.The City will be offering up to R1000 to thosewho come forwardwith information leadingto an arrest or fine being issued for acts oftheft and vandalism.RugshandaPascoe, chairperson of theMa-
nenberg Safety Forum (MSF), believes thatthe incentive may allow community mem-

HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED?If you have been seriously injured in amotor vehicle accident, train accident,police shooting or due to medical
negligence, you may have a claim againsta government department for
compensation.If you have put in a claim directly with theRoad Accident Fund without using anattorney and feel that you have beenunderpaid or are dissatisfied with theirservice, we may be able to assist you.We are personal injury attorneys, who
specialise in serious injuries.We are prepared to work on a no win –
“An alternative could be to open up a spaceat theback (of thehospital),with the commu-nity centre right there, and develop thewhole spaceas a safetyhub for the communi-ty.”She says that when visiting the site with
one of the other members of the MNF, theywere not allowed to enter, even after identi-fying themselves properly.“Security didn’t want her to go in, but at
the same time, at the back, the roof is beingremoved. I question the peoplewho are plan-ners and advisors for the government. Be-cause to plan and develop, you must envi-sion a space, but can’t plan if you are not liv-ing there,” says Pascoe, once again pointingout the need for effective engagement withthe community.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieuten-
ant Ian Bennett says there have been a num-ber of incidents of vandalism and theft re-ported at the hospital. “However, since 24June the department of public works andtransport as well as the department of com-munity safety took over the facility. Anagreementwasmade that theywould stepupsecurity at the facility,” Bennett says.He confirms security staff has been ap-
pointed for day and night shifts with guarddogs. “Since this has been implementedthere has been a decrease in incidents. It isthe security company’s sole responsibilityto ensure safety at the facility. As police wewill still open dockets and conduct investi-gations but we are not responsible for secur-ing the premises,” Bennett confirms.V Members of the public can report suspected criminalactivity related to the hospital site on 021 596 1999or the City’s emergency call centre on 107. Cellphoneusers need to dial 021 480 7700.
FISHING
Permits up for grabsNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
As public participation opens on the up-coming fishing rights allocation proc-
ess, transformation of the industry is tak-ing centre stage.The department of agriculture, forestry
and fisheries is holding consultation ses-sions on 10 sector policies, which are setto expire this year, as well as a policy onfish processing.The drafts were published last month
and are up for public comment.For the inshore sectors – which include
lobster, net and abalone fishing – rightswill be split between small-scale fishersand large-scale companies.This portion has yet to be decided,
project manager Sue Middleton says, butis expected to be announced in October orNovember.Always a controversial topic, says Mid-
dleton, is the balance between awardingrights to historical holders and encourag-ing transformation,withwhich the depart-ment has been mandated.“It’s about balancing new entrants and
current rights holders. The fishing sectoris aging and needs to let the youth and newpeople in,” she says.
Adequate inclusionOneof the criteria used to promote trans-
formation is allocation according to race.This will see the majority of rights allocat-ed to black-owned businesses, with lessthan a tenth going to businesses with col-oured owners.HoutBay residentDavina Jonathan says
transformation is happening through BEEin all sectors, but coloured communitiesare not being adequately included.“Why are only 9%of the rights being giv-
en to coloured fisherman? They should beincluded under the Constitution,” shesays.The process is also excluding small busi-
nesses, Jonathan believes, as they can’tcompete with commercial fisheries.“Small businesses are often in the form
of a co-op working with only two boats.They can’t pull in the same tonnage as acommercial enterprise. They also don’thave the same vessel accessibility and
have only smaller five-metre boats. The cur-rent system is excluding the small man andthey aren’t given the opportunity to growand move up,” she says.At a publicmeeting in Sea Point lastweek,
Armin Weimar of the Wild Benguela Har-vest company, who had been in the industryfor 43 years, commented that four categoriesshould be created for applicants, whichwould encourage this transformation.
Different scoresHe believes categories should be created
for those who previously owned rights in asector, applicants with rights in other sec-tors, company applicants and then new en-trants.“New entrants would be, for instance, five
crewmen from a lobster boat that have fish-ed as a crew for their whole life and havenow formed a company,” he says.These categories should be scored differ-
ently to promote small-scale fishers receiv-ing rights alongsidemajor companies, he be-lieves.
Fees up 26%Up for comment are also draft application
forms and application fees, which have in-creased by 26%. This is because there hasbeen no increase in the last ten years, Mid-dleton explains.However, small-scale fishers will not be
required to pay these fees.The application process is expected to cost
the department R45m, with R10m recoveredthrough the application fees.The results of the application process will
be announced in February next year.V Public consultation meetings will take place at themultipurpose hall in Ocean View and the Hout Baycivic centre on Monday 20 July between 10:00 andnoon. On Tuesday 21 July a meeting will take placein Fish Hoek between 10:00 and noon.

A 62-year-old woman is at wit’s end afternearly three years of struggling to get a
new identification document and her pen-sion payout.From her shack dwelling in Uitkykbos in-
formal settlement, the demotivated womansays she does not knowwhat to do anymore.She found out she was registered as tenyears younger than her actual age on thehome affairs system and because of this shedoesn’t qualify for pension.Lea Sampson says she has been struggling
to obtain a new ID for the past two and a halfyears after her old one was stolen.Sampson says it has been an uphill battle
to get a new ID issued. She even approacheda community worker to help her.“It has been difficult because wemake fre-
quent trips to the home affairs offices inWynberg but we never came right. I justneed this sorted because it has caused me somuch stress,” Sampson laments.She says she has been struggling to get her
ID details up to date as this is the only thingstanding in the way of getting her pension.Tanya Meyer, who has helped Sampson,
says they were “given the run around for along time”.“I have been trying to get Sampson the
help she needs by accompanying her to thehome affairs offices. When we got there thefirst time they told us they could not find heron the system,” Meyer says.She says visits to home affairs after that
proved even less fruitful as they have notmade headway in nearly three years.“It cannot go on like this. This woman is
a pensioner and she is struggling at the mo-ment to make ends meet,” Meyer says.
“We had to get an affidavit stating that herID was stolen and at the Wynberg officesSampson had to be sworn in by me to con-firm she is a citizen,” Meyer says.After this was done, Meyer says Sampson
was “eventually” found on the system. “Butthen we sat with a bigger problem. We thenfound out she was registered as 52 years old
insteadof 62. Trying to rectify thishasbeena headache on its own,” Meyer says.Sampson adds the ordeal has caused her
discomfort in her community as well.“When the people are drunk here in the
settlement they say things like I don’t evenhave an ID and I do not exist in this coun-try. It’s traumatising and hurts me,” Sam-pson says.According to Meyer and Sampson they
were subsequently referred by home af-fairs to a doctor so her agemay be “predict-ed”.“We went to the doctor and were told
they cannot predict the age. Every time itseems we have made progress, we moveback,” she says.Wynberg home affairs department
spokesperson Nazeem Andrews says Sam-pson has to apply to have her details cor-rected.“If no applicationwasdone then thatwill
be the first step. To apply to have the dateamended [will cost] R70 with a waiting pe-riod of about 6 months and longer. Thenafter the amendment we can look at a tem-porary ID and ID card,” Andrews says.He adds that citizens are sometimes re-
ferred to a doctor to have an age assess-ment done if they do not have proof of birthin the form of a birth certificate or baptis-mal certificate.“If she has an ID with a certain date and
she feels it’s wrong then she needs to proveto the departmentwhich is the correct datewith proof in form of documentation.”Andrews advised Sampson to visit her
nearest home affairs offices formore infor-mation and to get application forms for therectification.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.
Lea Sampson has been struggling for nearlythree years to have her details updated at thehome affairs department after her previous IDwas stolen. Sampson says she is 62 years oldbut home affairs registered her as 52.

More chances for jobs in the cityWith a high unemployment rate acrossthe country, the City of Cape Town is leav-ing no stone unturned in trying to createjob opportunities.
The municipality hopes to help thou-sands of unemployed residents with tem-porary jobs through its expanded publicworks programme (EPWP).
According to a statement the City aimsto create 42 500 temporary jobs throughthe EPWP programme which will see 2500more people being employed – up from 40000 in the previous financial year.
TheEPWPis anational government ini-tiative with theaimof givingunemployedSouth Africans a hand up through tempo-rary jobs to earn some form of income, butalso to acquire skills that could makethem more employable.
Since 2011, the City has created more
than 140 000 temporary jobs. By the endof June next year, the total should be closeto 180 000. The dedicated budget in the lastfour financial years, including the new fi-nancial year, stands at R466m, excludingthose budgets where EPWP jobs are creat-ed through service providers.
Suzette Little, mayoral committeemember for social development and earlychildhood development, says the variousCity departments submit plans as to howthey will contribute to the EPWP employ-ment scheme every year.
“Our biggest contributor is utility ser-vices, in particular the solid waste man-agement department. Transport for CapeTown, human settlements and communi-ty services are the other three top employ-ers within the City for the programme. Infact, these four directorates were respon-
sible for nearly 75% of all work opportuni-ties created in the last financial year.”
The type of work opportunities includeadministrative help, community care,river and alien vegetation clearing, stone-masonry work, general work supportingexisting service delivery projects such ascleaning and minor maintenance as wellas youth development work.
Currently, there are 402 701 people reg-istered on the City’s job seekers database.
All unemployed residents who are in-terested and willing to work on the pro-gramme are required to register at theirnearest subcouncil office to be consideredfor opportunities. Job seekers are also re-minded to update their contact informa-tion if it changes and to visit the subcoun-cil offices at least once a year to ensurethat their registration remains valid.
MANENBERG
Silverstream to reopen next yearCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The Manenberg community can soon lookforward to a new primary school with
added facilities.The Silverstream Primary School is cur-
rentlyundergoing renovationsandwill soonhave space for 1000 pupils. Revamping theschool building is costing R62m.
The school building, which is currentlybeing demolished, will be completed by Feb-ruary next year.
Provincial education department spokes-person Jessica Shelver says the departmentis completing eleven new schools before theend of this year while an extra 15 are underconstruction.
Shelver adds demolition at SilverstreamPrimary School started on 15 May. A few pu-pils will already be moved into new class-rooms in the next school term.
“Thepupilswere accommodated in the oldschool until now. Pupils will move into somecompleted classrooms when the new termstarts,” Shelver explains.
Added roomsThe new school will be equipped with add-
ed facilities, she says.“[The upgrades include] a large school, an
administration block, 21 classrooms, a com-puter room, a multipurpose room, a sciencelaboratory, a multimedia centre, a schoolhall and three Grade R classrooms,” Shelverconfirms.
Asked whether more teachers would beappointed at the school, Shelver says thiscannot be confirmed yet.
She adds: “The department invests heavi-ly into school infrastructure to meet the de-mand for education in the province. The al-
location towards new and replacementschools is just over R915m this financialyear, and R2.4bn in a three-year period,” shesays.
Shelver adds 38 replacement schools arebeing built or completed in this financialyear.
“We must also be cognisant of the fact thatthe large numbers of inward migration tothis province has financial and planningconsequences for the department. It also im-pacts the provisioning of education resour-ces and the overall management of the sys-tem,” Shelver elaborates.
More and more pupilsEvery child that enters the province seek-
ing school enrolment needs to be accommo-dated with the necessary resources, sheadds.
“On average, every pupil in the WesternCape costs the public purse R12 000 eachyear. This includes their norms and stan-dards allocations and teacher salaries aver-aged on a per pupil basis,” she says.
Shelver explains the influx of pupils fromthe Eastern Cape over the past five years hascost the provincial government almostR2bn.
“The highest influx annually is from theEastern Cape. The influx of pupils from theEastern Cape over the last year cost the de-partment R238m and this year cost the pub-lic purse R227m,” Shelver says.
She adds that with 22 000 new pupils enter-ing the Western Cape at the beginning of ev-ery year, the government would need tobuild a total of 22 schools per year “simplyto meet demand for schooling in the WesternCape.”V What are your thoughts?

The slick art ofteenage promisesGAVIN FISH
Okay, so I did it last week. I fobbed a teen-ager off!
I was asked on a Friday when her projectwould be marked. Having missed a self-im-posed deadline, I was already embarrassed.“You will have it on Tuesday.”The words weren’t even out of my mouth
before I realised that itwouldn’t be possible.I apologised to her and explained what I
had done. It helped that her project was ex-cellent and that when she eventually re-ceived the mark she was delighted.Teenage unaccountability is a slick art
form – the phrases roll out effortlessly: “Ina minute, mom”, “It will be finished ontime”, “I am now there” (my favourite) andthe politicians’ “It is enjoying attention ata very high level”.It ismore than just plain teen laziness and
a case of “living in the moment”, however.Fobbing off and procrastination are bed-mates. The difference is that we can pro-crastinate and do damage to no-one but our-selves, but what is implied with fobbing off,is that we are doing it to someone else.It goes to our credibility and general aura
of trustworthiness. Teens need to under-stand that it is more than enough to see youoverlooked for a promotion, not havingyour weekend curfew extended.Echoing from my childhood is the warn-
ing to say what youmean and tomeanwhatyou say. How true! In this age of politicalcorrectness, we find ourselves not sayingwhatwemeanand, in this age of unaccount-ability, we find ourselves notmeaningwhatwe say.Sodon’t backoffwhenoffered the trite “In
a minute” – insist on which minute and
then hold them to that minute. When theprocrastinationwill hurt themalone, leavethem to it.When it is fobbing off, find the right mo-
ment to explain the disrespect.Leave them when the consequences are
not too extreme. A natural consequencecommunicates more effectively than athousand words. Plastic surgery because achild was left to put his hand into the fireis ridiculous; having to walk the two kilo-metres home because you weren’t whereyou said you would be, is not.

Intervention neededin ongoing gang crisisNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
A victim support centre has called for a com-mission of inquiry into efforts to end gang vi-olence in the province.Gang prevention and intervention is a
shared responsibility which, according to aresearch report released by the Trauma Cen-tre, is not visible enough in the province.Consequently, the socioeconomic rights of
survivors of gang violence are compromisedby ongoing gangwarfare and sluggish effortsto rid communities of such organised crime,Trauma Centre executive director Valdi vanReenen-Le Roux says.The report focuses primarily on residents
ofManenberg and recommends an investiga-tion into gang prevention and interventionefforts.At the height of gang violence in Manen-
berg two years ago, the Manenberg Develop-ment Co-ordinating Structure successfullylobbied provincial government to providepsychosocial support to victims of the gangviolence, Van Reenen-Le Roux says.“As a result, more than 13 000 people – over
a period of nine months – benefitted from acommunity-based trauma-focused mentalhealth programme. The research report ex-plored the accessibility, appropriateness andsustainability of the programme by analys-ing data from client files and conducting in-terviews with counsellors, laypersons, edu-cators and community leaders,” she says.“Nearly two years later, the status quo has
not changed inManenberg. Past experienceshave shown that peace deals are mere plas-
ters on gaping wounds.”Van Reenen-Le Roux believes the “latest
peace in Manenberg is disturbing because ithints at the de facto authority that gang lead-ers enjoy”. She suggests that it is time to referto gang violence as a form of torture.The report suggests that research must be
done on gang violence as an act of torture,because of the government’s omission toeradicate gang violence. Further researchshould also be done on trauma-focused psy-chosocial interventions for people who expe-rience continuous trauma.Ewald Botha, spokesperson for provincial
minister of community safety Dan Plato,says the call for a commission of inquiry intogang violence falls under the premier.“Our approach to deal with the impact of
the ongoing scourge of drugs andgangsneedsto also look at preventing our kids from be-coming involved. We will not be successfulin breaking down the culture of gangs anddrugs if we try to do this as individuals, orin isolation from one another,” he says.“We continue to partner with our commu-
nities and organisations operating in ourcommunities.“These include our partnership with the
religious fraternity, the opportunities avail-able at our Chrysalis and Wolwekloof acade-mies, aswell as the existing opportunities forstudying,” he says.The report finds ongoing violence is the
biggest threat to victim rehabilitation. It alsofinds a strong link between ongoing violenceand continuous trauma, which has implica-tions for the development of mental healthprogrammes.
MANENBERG
Ceasefire only‘momentary’relief from shotsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Four gangs have brought some tempo-rary relief to Manenberg after agree-
ing to halt shootings in the area.The CleverKids, Hard Livings, Ameri-
cans andDixie Boys held peace talks twoweeks ago after community activist andManenberg safety forum chairpersonRugshanda Pascoe called for it.Although the gangs agreed to the
ceasefire, residents say the peace was“momentary” after sporadic shootingsoccurred in some areas of Manenbergand Heideveld over the weekend.One resident, who asked to remain
anonymous, says even though it is quiet,“it does not mean they have stoppedtheir nonsense”.“Just over the weekend they slit a
guy’s throat in one of the courts again.He was a gangster too. They are pro-gressing to the extreme lately and we asa community are still caught in theirgrip,” she says.Another resident, Rugaya Salie, says
the few days of peace were appreciated.“It was so nice not to hear gun shots
at any time of the day. Our childrencould play freely outside,” she says.Manenberg police spokesperson Lieu-
tenant Ian Bennett says there have beenno incidents of gang violence in the areawhere the truce was called.“We have only had one incident of do-
mestic violence where a man shot hiswife in her face on Saturday 4 July at23:50. The husband became violent afterthe pair were drinking alcohol together.He shot her at point blank range and acase of attemptedmurderwas opened forinvestigation,” Bennett says.He adds there were two shooting inci-
dents and cases of attempted murderhave been filed at the station.Pascoe says the peace talks were held
in Scheldt Walk in Manenberg and thesporadic shootings have been takingplace “on the opposite end after TurfhallRoad”.“The fights that are currently ongoing
are taking place in an area that is nor-mally quiet and controlled,” Pascoe ex-plains.She adds there was a shooting on
Wednesday evening in which a 13-year-old girl was shot by a stray bullet.
Bennett confirms the incident, sayingthe shooting occurred in Gamka Park at22:00.“The bullet entered through her cheek
and exited from her jaw bone. The girlwas referred for medical attention andwas stabilised. No arrests have yet beenmade,” he says.
RespectPascoe says such incidents are a huge
concern to the community.“Wewant to bring these feuding gangs
together and work on a plan to respectthe community they live in. Our man-date in the safety forum remains thesame and that is to ensure the safety ofall residents. If these gangs do not abideby this mandate they are to leave ourcommunity. We are asking all authori-ties to assist us in this regard,” she adds.Pascoe says although the peace talks
took place they still need to get “to thecrux of the matter”.“It all comes down to the disregard for
human life. They need to understandthey are tormenting our communities.And althoughwe are happy for the peacewe also fear that it may be temporary asit is the month of Ramadan and thesegangsters want to move freely to visittheir families,” she says.
Just over the week-end they slit a guy’sthroat in one of thecourts again. He wasa gangster too.Theyare progressing tothe extreme latelyand we as a commu-nity are still caughtin their grips

The City of Cape Town hasheard of fewer pipe bursts in thefirst five months of the year.This, the City says, is thanks
to its pipe replacement pro-gramme, intensified mainte-nance efforts and pressureman-agement initiatives.In total 2330 pipe bursts were
repaired by the City from Julylast year to the end of May – 614fewer than the same period inthe previous year. The City alsosays that 24 bursts per 100km ofpiping were reported over the2014/2015 financial year, com-pared to 31 per 100km of pipingin 2013/2014.The City says the good news
can been put down to its focuson both pressure managementand pipe replacement and reha-bilitation. Extensive implemen-tation of water pressure man-agement systems invarious are-as, including Langa, BishopLavis, Retreat, Crossroads andPinelands, also helped.“It is estimated that 42 000kF
of water is saved every daythrough our pressure manage-ment programme. This is theequivalent of 17 Olympic-sizedswimming pools,” says ErnestSonnenberg, mayoral commit-tee member for utility services.Programmes throughout the
city focus on replacing infra-structure in problem areas, aswell as in areas where the pip-ing is reaching the end of its de-sign life.“The City’s replacement pro-
gramme has seen the replace-ment of a total of nearly 37km ofour network so far this year.The pipeline replacement pro-gramme improves service deliv-ery to residents and businessesas newpipesminimise the num-ber of pipe bursts andwater dis-ruptions.“Cape Town is a water-scarce
city and our work to repair, re-place and upgrade water pipeshas helped us secure water inCape Town for the foreseeablefuture,” concludes Sonnenberg.

@ChevonBooysen
A hidden informal settlement has beendiscovered by the Georgie’s Angels or-
ganisation.The settlement, found just off Strandfon-
tein Road in Lansdowne, has been aroundfor longer than a decade but has gone unno-ticed by many.According toGeorgie’sAngels spokesper-
sonLynneAnthony they learnt of the settle-ment just over a month ago.
Horrid conditionsGeorgie’s Angels took their soup kitchen
to the settlement, which has since beendubbed ARD.“The last time we tallied there were only
15 people living here. But they live in horridconditions and we cannot have them livelike this,” Anthony says.The settlement is hiddenbehindan indus-
trial area. It is nestled between steel pipesand rubble.“They do not have electricity or any run-
ning water here. It’s terrible.”Ward councillor George March says the
area is dangerous, because it is difficult toaccess and residents have no basic services.
“We want to move them from this areaand they say they are willing to move. Youcannot have a placewhere people have beenliving for more than 10 years and they haveno running water. Their ablution facilitiesleave much to be desired,” March says.
Nowhere else to goResident Dennis Tibisono has been living
in the settlement for 10 years. He says theymoved onto the piece of land after theywereemployed to look after the property of a pre-vious employer.“We have nowhere else to go so we decid-
ed to keep living here,” he says.He adds the area is unsafe because the po-
lice do not patrol there. “Very oftenwe havegangsters come over from Hanover Parkand rob us here. They know we live here sothey have stolen things likes pots, clothesand metal sheeting from our shacks. It’svery unsafe,” he adds.Another resident, Stanford Hlaliso, has
been living there formore than 10 years andsays their living conditions are not desira-ble. “But we don’t know what to do any-more. We just continue living and gettingby on the little we get,” he says.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

The department of rural development andland reform has approved multimillionrand funding for farmers to buy land andkickstart social and infrastructure up-grades.The department has approved 31 pro-
jects, valued at about R146m for farm re-capitalisation.Land has already been bought across
the country under the proactive land ac-quisition strategy to benefit 5108 appli-cants.It is estimated that 2193 permanent jobs
would be created out of the funding, saysrural development and land reformminis-ter Gugile Nkwinti.“This will go a long way towards fast-
tracking service delivery in rural areas.We are committed to sustainable agrarianreform,” he says.The applications indicated that most
emerging farmers want to pursue live-stock farming, crops, vegetables, gameand poultry. Funding applications werealso used to purchase machinery, trucks,bulls, pregnant heifers and pack houses.

Festival to inspirenew youth storiesThe first annual Cape Flats film festival
and self-worth talk, which starts laterthismonth, aims to challenge thehistorical-ly created and presently sustained stereo-types of the Cape Flats.The festival is the brain child of Emile
Jansen, better known as Emile YX? of theBlack Noise hip-hop group and Heal theHood project, and forms part of the CapeFlats uprising initiative.“The Cape Flats has been stereotyped as
a gang- and drug-ridden community, whilethemajority of the people living in this com-munity are good people,” Emile says.“Wehavenoticed thatmanyyoungpeople
internalise the stereotype created by biasedmedia that perpetuate this image fromapartheid’s racist years.”
Tell storiesNow, 21 years into democracy, Emile says
that it’s up to the people tomake the changethey need.Besides challenging stereotypes, the festi-
val also aims to encourage the youth to telltheir own stories and get involved with the
film industry by teaching them skills andproviding film-related opportunities.The festival will begin, unofficially, on
Monday 27 July with the screening of thedocumentaryAfrikaaps at schools and com-munity centres. The film will be screenedat different venues every day until Monday10 August.
Best music video awardThe actual film festival will run from this
Sunday to Sunday 23 August and will in-clude full-length and short documentariesas well as workshops, Q&As and talks.This year’s festival will also include a
Cape Flats bestmusic video award,with thewinner being decided by the community.Emile hopes to expand the awards in the
future to include a script-writing competi-tions and innovative dance crew and indi-vidual video awards.He also hopes to run a summer edition of
the festival in December.V Visit the Cape Flats film festival Facebook groupfor more information about the festival and pro-gramme.

The Australian Christian pop band News-boys will be performing at GrandWest’sGrand Arena on Wednesday 29 July.The band has taken gospel music by storm
since arriving on the scene in 1985. Nearlythree decades later, Newsboys are undenia-ble industry leaders with 33 number one hitsingles and multiple Grammy Award nomi-nations.A constant throughout the career of News-
boys is their desire to intentionally praiseGod.
“IfGod’s not dead, then let’sworshipHim,”declares lead singer Michael Tait. One of thebiggest things that Michael appreciatesabout being a Newsboy is that theirmusic al-ways shares the gospel outright.“The message is unchanging whether you
look at a song as rock or worship,” he says.Newsboys will be on tour in South Africa
in association with 104Concerts, Tygerberg104FM and GROOTfm 90.5.V Tickets for the show on 29 July are available at itick-ets.co.za.

The late Nelson Mandela spent 67 years of his lifemaking the world a better place. We as South Afri-cans have the opportunity to honour him on hisbirthday every year by spending 67 minutes servingour fellow man.
The idea of Mandela Day was inspired by NelsonMandela at his 90th birthday celebrations in Lon-don’s Hyde Park in 2008 when he said: “It is timefor new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your handsnow.”
The United Nations officially declared 18 July asNelson Mandela International Day in November2009, recognising Mandela’s “values and his dedica-tion to the service of humanity” and acknowledginghis contribution “to the struggle for democracy in-ternationally and the promotion of a culture ofpeace throughout the world”.
For the past few years, people from all walks oflife all over the country have given their 67 minutesto “lift the burdens” and on Saturday it is again timeto give just more than an hour of your time to hon-our Madiba’s life.
This can range from the smallest gesture like vi-siting someone you don’t know in an old age or chil-dren’s home, to something much bigger like build-ing houses with Habitat for Humanity. The ideasare endless.
If you don’t know what to do, ask a friend, col-league or neighbour if you can help with whateverthey are doing with their 67 minutes.
By giving a bit of your time on Saturday youmight not see the impact immediately, but your ef-forts will help someone to have a better day or evena better week.
Your 67 minutes might just inspire someone elseto also “lift the burdens”.
Vote against Maiden’sCove developmentI have a concern which not only affectslocals, but visitors to the Cape, as wellas tourists.
My concern is the sale and develop-ment of council property along theAtlantic Seaboard which includes Cliftonand surrounds, in particular Maiden’sCove.
Maiden’s Cove is the only non-payingbraai area along the coastline.
It is safe, has two tidal pools, kiddies’pool and jungle gym, and is patrolledregularly by law enforcement andlifeguards. It is extremely popular.During summer it is packed and one hasto arrive early to obtain parking and abraai spot.
Historically Maiden’s Cove was one ofthe very few recreation areas along theAtlantic Seaboard which people of colourcould frequent and enjoy.
People from all over the city andsurrounds including Bo-Kaap, Athlone,Grassy Park, Elsies River, Belville,Kuilsriver, Kraaifontein, Bonteheuwel,
Manenberg, to name a few suburbs,regularly visit Maiden’s Cove.
For decades it has been a very populardestination as an excursion for theelderly, end of year functions for compa-nies and sporting codes, birthdayparties, school outings, team buildingexercises, weddings, photo shoots and soon…or just a place to unwind.
Maiden’s Cove is now under threat ofbeing sold off by the council for privatedevelopment.
This sale not only adversely affectsresidents within the immediate sur-rounds, but Cape Town as a whole.
People must be made aware and maylodge their disapproval of this develop-ment.
Should the Maiden’s Cove developmentbe allowed to go ahead, I can foresee adramatic drop in support for the localgovernment amongst those who have fordecades enjoyed visiting Maiden’s Cove.

TAMING THE TEEN
Teenage promises a slick artGAVIN FISH
Okay, so I did it last week. I fobbed a teen-ager off!
I was asked on a Friday when her projectwould be marked. Having missed a self-im-posed deadline, I was already embarrassed.
“You will have it on Tuesday.”The words weren’t even out of my mouth
before I realised that it wouldn’t be possible.I apologised to her and explained what I
had done. It helped that her project was ex-cellent and that when she eventually re-ceived the mark she was delighted.
Teenage unaccountability is a slick artform – the phrases roll out effortlessly: “Ina minute, mom”, “It will be finished ontime”, “I am now there” (my favourite) and
the politicians’ “It is enjoying attention ata very high level”.
It is more than just plain teen laziness anda case of “living in the moment”, however.Fobbing off and procrastination are bed-mates. The difference is that we can pro-crastinate and do damage to no-one but our-selves, but what is implied with fobbing off,is that we are doing it to someone else.
It goes to our credibility and general auraof trustworthiness. Teens need to under-stand that it is more than enough to see youoverlooked for a promotion, not havingyour weekend curfew extended.
Echoing from my childhood is the warn-ing to say what you mean and to mean whatyou say. How true! In this age of politicalcorrectness, we find ourselves not saying
what we mean and, in this age of unaccount-ability, we find ourselves not meaning whatwe say.
So don’t back off when offered the trite “Ina minute” – insist on which minute and thenhold them to that minute. When the pro-crastination will hurt them alone, leavethem to it.
When it is fobbing off, find the right mo-ment to explain the disrespect.
Leave them when the consequences arenot too extreme. A natural consequencecommunicates more effectively than a thou-sand words. Plastic surgery because a childwas left to put his hand into the fire is ridic-ulous; having to walk the two kilometreshome because you weren’t where you saidyou would be, is not.
Support the shelter,not the individualIt’s winter and you wonder how tohelp that homeless person in thestreet. Unfortunately, the casualdonation, however well intentioned,rarely helps the person get off thestreets.
It may actually help him/herremain there.
There are a number of greatorganisations in our city which doa sterling job in working with thehomeless to provide sustainable,long-term solutions. One is theHaven in Greenpoint where PastorJerry and his team do excellentwork.
They are in need of help torefurbish facilities at their premis-es in Napier Street, which is hometo dozens who would otherwisehave nowhere to go. Any donation,however large of small, will helpthem improve conditions for peoplestaying there. So to help responsi-bly this winter please considergiving them your support.

The battle lines were drawn atthe Cape Sun Hotel last weekas some of the world’s strong-
est chess players gathered to con-test this year’s South African OpenChess Festival.
Advocate Lyndon Bouah, chiefdirector of sport and recreation atthe Western Cape department ofcultural affairs and sport, says: “Indeveloping a winning nation it isimportant to improve internation-al sports successes by supportingevents at all levels.
“Achieving an active and win-ning nation is underpinned by anenabling environment.
South Africa’s first ever grand-master, Kenny Solomon, markedhis return to competition on SouthAfrican soil, which was also hisfirst tournament on home soil afterofficially receiving the title of
grandmaster earlier this year.Solomon, originally from Mitch-
ell’s Plain and a previous winnerof the tournament, placed fourth inthis year with a score of 8.5.
“It was a tough tournament witha lot of strong players. I am happythat we were able to have fourgrandmasters participating thisyear,” he says.
“It is important that foreigngrandmasters participate in SouthAfrican chess events – this is howchess can grow in our country.”
The tournament also incorporat-ed the SA schools individual chesschampionship. The championshipsaw some of the best junior playersin the country come up againsteach other.
Former national junior teamcoach Calvin Klaasen believes thatyoung players have an opportunityto make a career of the game if thesupport shown at the SA open con-
tinues to grow.“It’s important for young players
to identify with heroes, to havesomething to strive for.
“There are limited opportunitiesfor young players in South Africato progress to a professional levelat the moment, but that can changeif we are supported correctly. Ken-ny’s grandmaster title is just stepone in South Africa becoming apowerful chess country,” he says.
Solomon, who now lives in Italy,believes that events of this natureneed to happen more often if we areto produce more international-grade players.
“Chess events like these helppeople build connections as wewere there competing for over aweek, so apart from the playingthere is also the post-game analysisand it’s in these sessions wherechess players can take the opportu-nity to learn even more,” he says.
English chess legend grandmas-ter Nigel Short emerged victoriousat the end of the 11-round event. Hegained the title based on a tie-breaksystem, after ending on nine pointsalongside grandmaster AleksaStrikovic from Serbia and India’sgrandmaster Abhijit Kunte.
Short has been playing with thebest since he became a grandmas-ter at age 19. He was regularlyplaced in the top ten in the worldbetween the late 1980s and late1990s.
Solomon will next travel to Gaut-eng along with Short to play in aqualifier for one of the biggestchess tournaments in the worldtaking place in Las Vegas.

Hungry Lions roar to titleEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
The Athlone Hungry Lions havebeen crowned this year’s u.15 VukaRugby Legends Cup champions aft-er beating the Elsiesrivier Cobras10-3 in a fierce final at UCT on Sat-urday.
According to Vuka Rugby’s Is-mail Teladia, the morning’s finalwas an exciting affair.
“This match was very tight withboth sets of players giving it every-thing they had. The added incen-tive was that the players knew thatthe match was also part of theWestern Province Iqhawe teamtrials,” he says.
“The tactics of the Cobras weresurprising in that they chose to runthe ball at every opportunity evenwithin their own 25m area on anumber of occasions.”
The wet and slippery conditionsunder foot did not help the Cobras
as the team from Athlone stuck toits guns to come out eventual win-ners of the contest. Thoubaan Ga-briels and Thaakier Kamaar con-tributed two unconverted tries,with Gabriels going home with theman of the match award.
Ismail says that the WP Iqhawe(u.15) team will be announcedshortly and that there were a num-ber of candidates vying in the final.
In the day’s other match, the At-lantis Highlanders contested theu.19 final for the second consecu-tive year.
They fended off the challenges ofElsies River Cobras to claim theu.19 title they missed out on lastyear.
They appeared better preparedas they lost last year’s final. Theybeat the Cobras 25-10.
Former Springbok wing and SARugby Legends Association CEOStefan Terblanche handed over thetrophies to the winning teams.

16-year-old Dannon Siljeur fromRetreat isa Grade 10 pupil at Reddam House Con-stantia and is the People’s Post/Super-
sport Let’s Play Sport star for June.Dannon is currently competing overseas
in Malta as a member of the u.16 South Afri-can schools water polo team. He has alreadyrepresented Western Province schools wa-ter polo at u.13, u.14 and u.15 levels.He is also an accomplished hockey player,
having earned WP colours.Asked why he prefers hockey and water
polo to more popular sports like rugby,cricket and soccer, he sayshedid play soccerwhen he was at primary school. But whenhemoved fromStGeorge’s Grammar Schoolto Cannons Creek Independent School, soc-cer was not offered, so he took up hockey.“I played hockey in Grade 2 at St George’s
so the sport wasn’t new to me and I movedstraight to the u.13A team. I felt this sportwas right forme as it was kind of like soccer,but with a stick.“Water polo was new at Cannons Creek
and I started this in Grade 6. By Grade 7 Iwas playing in the Western Province u.13Ateam. I think water polo was easier for mebecause of my history in swimming. And Ijust continued playing these sports untilnow.”Dannon says that despite his hectic train-
ing schedule, he makes time for academicsas that is very important to him. “I try tocomplete schoolwork as soon as I get it,
sometimes sacrificingmybreaks to dowork.Being a good sportsman is literally in myblood as almost everyone in my familyplayed their sport at provincial level. Somanypeoplemake the excuse that they can’tcomplete work because of their sport, but itall really comes down to timemanagement,”he says.
Driving hardHe trains every day. “I have hockey by day
and water polo from 17:30 to 19:00. The onlyreal rest day I have is on Saturday and Ispendhalf of thedayat the gymand theotherhalf with friends.”When asked where he sees himself in five
years’ time, he has an interesting point ofview. “I know most people that are good insport would say stuff like playing for theircountry and earning tons of cash, but I valueeducation and believe you should alwayshave something to return to in case thesporting career doesn’t work out. I plan tousemy sport more as a key to a full-time job,a key to access great universities and suc-ceed in life. So I see myself studying hard,while paying for my studies by using mysporting abilities at university level.”.

A deaf soccer team in Langa has receiveda major boost upon receiving new kit frommayor Patricia de Lille.The Deaf Wolves, which is affiliated to
the Athlone division of the Athlone Hei-develd local football association, focusesprimarily on uplifting disabled people inthe community through soccer.De Lille handed over 14 new soccer kits
to the team at the Cape Town Civic Centreon Tuesday last week. She expressed herjoy at supporting an initiative in one ofCape Town’s oldest communities.“I was approached by the Deaf Wolves
club chairperson, Mluleki Bojana,” saysDe Lille in a statement.“This team was founded by deaf mem-
bers and for deaf members in 2013 in orderto uplift disabled residents in the commu-nity.”Bojana approached De Lille after “en-
countering some issues that (were) holding(them) back as a team”.“All too often, the disabled continue to
bemarginalisedboth economically and evensocially,” De Lille continues.De Lille reiterates that supporting the ini-
tiative forms part of the City’s policy for vul-nerable persons,which is themunicipality’smoral obligation to support projects whichassist and encourage the integrationof thosewho are disabled.“As affiliates of theAthlone division of the
Athlone Heideveld local football associa-tion, they frequently play against hearingpeople as well.
