The fence is a long-awaited request by Mountview residents and they say this is another reason to fear for their safety. People’s Post previously reported on the requested fence (“Promised fence post- poned”, 16 February; “Fence is a step to park”, 1 December) and after nearly a month’s delay, the fence has been erected.

Mountview Residents Association chair- person Rosdien Desai says they are not hap- py with the work that was done leading up to the fence being erected and expressed dis- satisfaction with the quality of the fence. “The councillor came out to the area a while ago thinking that the fence was already up but it was not even done yet. The contractor wasn’t there yet and this was probably mis- communication in council,” he says. “We are not happy with the fence because it is too flimsy. The criminals have already raided poles here on Tuesday evening,” De- sai says. He says residents fear for their safety be- cause they cannot risk approaching these criminals. “By the time we had somebody alerted to the incident the guy was already walking over to Hanover Park side with the poles. We cannot risk stooping or apprehending these guys on our own, our safety is at risk and they could harm anybody,” Desai says. He explains residents have called for the closure of the lane between Turfhall Road and Belmore Avenue so that the thorough- fare cannot be accessed. “Our residents have no service for that thoroughfare and the fence that was now erected is too short. We want the entire lane to be closed because of criminals using it for their activities. Robberies in that thorough- fare is almost a daily occurrence and we can- not allow that to continue,” he says.

Residents in Hanover Park have far better amenities than we have in Mountview and in Mount- view there is nothing for our elderly and youth. We also want parks and amenities in our area to be proud of,” he says.

Our children and elderly get robbed in this lane and we want it closed down completely,” he says.

Raising hopefor homelessNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
What do 7000 homeless people and the starof a popular YouTube channel have incommon?They’ve all felt the sting of sleeping in
a cold winter night’s air.YouTuber Devdondidit, Devon Saun-
ders, spent theweekend sleeping ona roof-top in Plumstead to raise awareness of thechallengeshomeless people face inwinter.His #WeDidIt Winter Campaign saw
Saunders living on a rooftop last weekfrom Thursday to Sunday, braving thecolder Cape Town weather, to collect15 000 items of warm clothing or blankets.On just the first night, Saunders re-
ceived donations of 7500 blankets.“It’s quite an eye opener to sleep on the
street. This is what people experience ev-ery day. These people live with the wind,
rain and street noise on a day to day ba-sis,” he says.Saunders was joined by a handful of
street people who kept him company dur-ing the night.“You appreciate what you have when
you listen to them. These people havenothing, but are still grateful. They don’teven have a cup of coffee to keep themwarm.”By partnering with Faith, Hope and
Charity – a non-profit company – Saun-ders hopes to tap into the 55 000 strong au-dience that watches his content acrossvarious social media platforms on aweek-ly basis. The #WeDidIt campaign videowas launched on Tuesday last week, witha strong call to action for Capetonians tojoin in social media activism and supportthe homeless through the campaign.Saunders started out doingvideos, char-
itable campaigns, pranks and question-naires in 2015. After the successof the 2015 Winter Campaign,which was called the Warm Blan-ket Challenge, Devon has decidedto make the challenge bigger tosee if he can assist in a more sub-stantial way.Says Saunders: “I’ve been for-
tunate that some of my videosreach well over 100 000 views andI thought I could use my platformto not only bring a bit of laughter,but also for the greater good tobring warmth to our world.”A recently released study by
theCity ofCapeTown found therewere more than 7000 homelesspeople in Cape Town. Of these,4800 were living on the streetswhile the rest were in or assumedto be living in shelters.The study, led by the director-
ate’s researcher, Lynn Hen-dricks, found that out of 1700homeless interviewees, femalesonly made up 20 percent of thoseliving on the streets. Those on thestreets were more likely to bemale, between the ages of 25 and45 years, native to Cape Town,and to have been living on thestreets for more than a year be-cause of a variety of reasons suchas losing their house, unemploy-ment, or a lack of family support.V For more information on the #WeDidItWinter Campaign, watch the campaignvideo at Devdondidit www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAeYBnFVIxY

An initiative to restore dignity to womenfrom poverty-stricken areas has taken
off and seven months into this project,abused and impoverished women are ableto restore their confidence.ZABra: AFreeBra initiative is driven on
social media headed up by women in theUnited Kingdom and is aimed at collectingbra’s for women in South Africa.Most recently, one of the beneficiaries –
the Saartjie Baartman Centre for abusedwomen and children in Manenberg – re-ceived 337 bras and 49 pieces of underwear.Carry On 4 Babies, another social media
initiative donated 27 pieces of baby cloth-ing to the centre as well on the same day.The itemswere handed over to the centre
on Tuesday last week.LouiseMulligan, a victim support volun-
teer at the Bellville Police Station says theyread about the initiative and immediatelywanted to become involved.“We read about ZABra and just knew we
had to get involved. It’s a great initiativeand we wanted to partner with these ladiesfrom the UK,” Mulligan says.On the ZABra page they describe the ini-
tiative as “collecting pre-owned and newbras for distribution to women who can’tafford to buy their own.”“AfreeBra initiative does recycling of a
different kind. Our wonderful CupHolderscollect pre-owned and new bras for womenin South Africa and other countries whocan’t afford their own.“We work closely with organisations
who identify situations where women canbenefit from receivingbras free of charge,” is a description on
the organisations Facebook page.The initiative sees tourists and volun-
teers who travel from the UK to South Afri-ca are asked to free up luggage space totransport the bras. These volunteers arecalled the Cupholders.The bras are then either delivered or col-
lected and handed to the Cupbearers (vol-unteers who hand over the bras to womanwho cannot afford them).None of the items are to be resold.Mulligan says the initiative has been gar-
nering such a good response that she hashad donations streaming in.“People are always letting me know
where I can collect the bras and the dona-tions have been overwhelming. I keep thedonations atmyplace before they are hand-ed to the beneficiaries and at the momentI have a room full of donations ready to besent out,” she beams.Director of the Saartjie Baartman Centre
Shaheema McLeod says they are gratefulfor the donations made to the women andchildren of the centre.McLeod says it’s a “daily occurrence” for
women to walk through the centre’s doorswith only the clothes on their backs.“They obviously need to get away when
the perpetrator is not around and that’swhen they take the gap for safer accommoda-tion. It happens on a regular basis but that’sis why we ask them to develop a safety planand exit so that when they leave they wouldhave stashed some clothes and documents sothey canpick thatupon theirway to the shel-ter,” McLeod says.She adds that the donation of bras, is a
“luxury”.“Last yearwe received a donation of R2500
and were asked what we were going to do
with it and the first thing I said was that wewould buy underwear. Because we wererunning at low stock. But this donation willdefinitely come in handywherewomenwillhave the ability to choose,” she says.“This will certainly contribute to them
feeling better about themselves and to bemore confident because, for awoman, whenyoudon’t haveniceunderwearon, youdon’tfeel pretty,” she says.V To find out more, like the Facebook page ZABRA AfreeBra initiative or contact [email protected].

NANTES ATHLETICS CLUB
Freedom to Run a huge successEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Nantes Athletics Club’s inaugural “Free-dom to Run” race took place in and
around the streets of Athlone onWednesday27 April.
The race, which saw around 5000 runnersparticipating, drew runners from all overthe Cape Peninsula.“I am overwhelmed by the huge response
we have had on Facebook and other socialmedia regarding the buzz surrounding Nan-tes’ race and it was very successful,” saysCaroline Peters, Nantes Athletics Club’schairperson and race director for the race.Despite the overall success, there were
still a few teething problems which existwhen running an event of this nature for thefirst time.“One of the only things that was really
negative was that there were hardly anybins. We have the Run Clean campaign andwhat happened was that the bins were notdelivered,” added Peters.She said that every racemarshal was then
required to have refuse bags for runners todispose their litter while on the course.“One of the biggest things with running is
our Run Clean campaign. Because road run-ning has taken over our streets, I know thatone of the huge problems for the City of CapeTown, ratepayers and the public is that theraces mess up the roads. We tried to empha-sise the Run Clean campaign and we did,however,wewerehurt innot having enoughbins on the road.”Peters said that she hopes that now that
they have succeeded in hostingan event of this magnitude, thatthey now have the means to at-tract a title sponsor to futureevents in order to have im-proved resources at their dis-posal.
“Remember – we did this allon our own. There were no titlesponsors, but I think with ourpost-race report we can now goto people and ask them to buyinto this. This would allow us tohave a better resourced race (inthe future).
“Besides that, we had thenumbers and again, it was sup-ported greatly by our communi-ty clubs and our community.There were fit clubs, there wereschools and they participated inthe 5km. There were children’shomes in the area which cameand participated in the race andthat was great,” Peters saidgleefully.
She said despite the absenceof any major sponsors, the clubmanaged to raise some fundsand even had the medals madein advance without having topay the full amount immediate-ly.
“When I think of what weneed to do with the money that we made,we need to buy bibs as Top Form leant usbibs, so we were also resourceful and as-sisted by other community clubs in our ar-ea. So nowNantes is at least in the position
to go and say that we can have bibs madefor our own race. Let’s build our own resour-ces so that we can run a sustainable raceeventually in a few years from now. We cansustain ourselves.”

Driver responsibilityFor the past couple of years wehear and read of the dailycarnage taking place on ourhighways, byways and pave-ments.No matter what our devoted
law enforcement officers put inplace in the form of surveil-lance cameras, personal pres-ence, roadblocks, high visibili-ty, ghost squads, media brief-ings and electronic noticeboards, the carnage on ourroads goes unabated.Let’s make one thing clear:
without the presence of our lawenforcement officials and all thetactics and strategies, driveranarchy will prevail.No matter what the officials
have in place or what they do,they cannot be behind everywheel of every driver drivingtheir vehicles. Nor can theycontrol the attitude of everydriver who starts up theirengine.Keeping this in mind, we
have to be truly realistic andapply the reasonable mancriteria that law enforcementwill never stop the road car-nage on our highways andbyways.The only other strategy or
tactic officials can use is tohighlight or target the individu-
al driver of every vehicle bynotices and media channels.Every driver who speeds;
drives recklessly, negligently, orunder the influence of intoxica-ting liquor or narcotic drugs; oracts out road rage; will have tobear the brunt of the outcomewhether physically or financial-ly.Drivers must ensure that the
vehicles they are driving –whether their own or of some-one else’s – comply with thelawful requirements as specifiedin the Road Traffic Regulationsor if apprehended the driver ispersonally responsible for thefinancial fines issued.The drivers must be made
totally aware that in the eventof any vehicle driving offencethe driver is responsible fortheir actions.The traffic officials and
transport department musttarget the drivers’ attitudes andbring to the fore that each andevery driver is solely responsi-ble for their good and badattitudes on the road, no matterif they is or is not law enforce-ment in the vicinity.It is all about that personal
attitude while driving.KEITH BLAKE

Inspiring others’lives wherevershe goesEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Jane Mandean was born with cerebralpalsy and despite this, has managed toovercome every challenge that has she
has come across as a result.Mandean,whoworks as a senior adminis-
trator at Transnet, describes herself as a fo-cused person who is well organised andknows what she wants from life.
“I know my family is there (for me) andI am helping my mom a lot, so I know howto balance things out. I do not feel that youare being victimised by this (condition). Iam also a very strong-willed person,” saysMandean.
Being born with cerebral palsy meantthat Mandean’s motor skills were under-de-veloped, affecting her legs in particular.
“I walk with a crutch with limited bal-ance and co-ordination,” she says.
She was then enrolled at Eros School forchildren with disabilities where she startedplaying sport at the age of 12.
Aftermatriculating from theEros School,Mandean furthered her sporting career,garnering many accolades along her waywhich included representing South Africain athletics at the Paralympics in Atlantain 1996, the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000and 2004 in Athens.
She hopes to be on her way to Rio de Ja-neirowhere theParalympicswill take placelater this year.
Mandean, who is one of four survivingsiblings, suffered a horrific car accident in2011 while travelling on the R300.
“That (the accident) actually caused mydisability to worsen. It was a sad part of mylife, because I had to pick it up from therebecause I had whiplash Grade 2 and my bet-ter leg got injured in the process,” explainsMandean.
She says that she lost her car in the proc-ess and had to face the uphill struggle of be-ing able to regain her already limited motorskills, but she says that even that was notas disappointing as the support, or ratherthe lack thereof, she received.
“In that time of my life I was more disap-pointed because of the sweat I gave into thecommunity. When my accident happened,at the church I was at (at the time), I did notget as much support which left me disap-
pointed. I asked, ‘Lord why is this happen-ing? You know that I have invested so muchand done so much for the church’. That wasa sad part of my life and in that time I wasretrenched from the bank where I worked,so a lot of negativity (existed).”
As a result, Mandean, who was always in-volved in youth ministry up until thatpoint, took a lesser interest in religion.
However, following a stint as a coach forthe Western Cape Youth Games team, shewas approached by her aunt to join her atthe Integrity Bible Centre.
“I started to visit the church and got toknow the pastor of the church. He saw thatI was down and out and then (from there)he had a few counselling sessions with me.”
She says that through counselling, herfaith and self-confidence was restored. Shesays that the pastor invited her to sign upfor the theology course.
“I signed up a few months after that andhe said that he would cover the costs, pickme up and drop me and that I did not haveto do a thing and I must just get there. Afterthree-and-a-half years, I finished my diplo-ma in Theology. It was not an easy process.
She says that she will continue workingat Transnet despite obtaining her diploma,but insisted that she will now go back intothe community and reignite her passion forministry.
“I want to do workshops and facilitate thedifferent programmes, because for me it isgoing to be important in my life to make achange wherever I go and to live a changedlife for others and being the hope they donot have. I have a motto: ‘Be inspired withthe belief that life is a great and noble call-ing.’ It was something that somebody saidto me, from my manager. He said, ‘I don’tknow you for long, but this is the kind ofaura that you give off since being in thecompany working with me’.”
Mandean has even been an inspiration atherworkplace as she says thather officehasstarted a disabled forum where we thenmeet and discuss various issues where shehas gotten involved in helping to co-ordi-nate the annual Casual Day event in Sep-tember.
“I would like to say that you must go foryour dreams in life. Nothing is too hard, be-cause whatever will come forth will bringin fruit.”

Stay safe, warm and dryThe Western Cape is gearing up for whatis expected tobea cold andwetwinter, andthe Mustadafin Foundation urges resi-dents living in informal settlements to besafe and dry this winter season.
The Western Cape, much like the otherprovinces, is in dire need of rain. Howev-er, those living in impoverished areasshouldbeprepared forwhen the rainy sea-son starts, says Ghairunisa Johnstone-Cassiem director at the foundation.
“We realise the devastating implica-tions of the rainy season on those less for-tunate; homes are damp and wet, diseasesspread quickly and houses can be ruinedin minutes. Mustadafin Foundation callson all residents to gear up for the winterseason, and be prepared to keep warm anddry.”
The foundation provides disaster reliefto impoverished areas and also distrib-utes hot food and blankets in the Westernand Eastern Cape as part of their annualwinter warmth project.
A 70-year-old resident in Tafelsig says“it’s the thought that counts, because noteveryone thinks of the elderly in winter”.
“People tend to look the other way. It’sno use complaining. But then we find or-ganisations likeMustadafin that go the ex-tra mile and give us a warm, decent blan-ket and a meal to fill our stomachs.”
Johnstone-Cassiem agrees. “It is heart-felt to witness what a simple blanket cando for a person. Often, they have nothingelse to help keep them warm. Our volun-teers and employees have worked tireless-ly to tend to those in severe need of winterwarmth assistance.”
For residents living in informal settle-ments, Johnstone-Cassiem has the follow-
ing tips to stay warm, dry and safe thiswinter season:
. Block all cold drafts coming into yourhome by covering openings of doors andwindow sills with blankets.
. Fix all roof leaks timeously.
. Layer up with clothing – a plastic bagor newspapers inside your jacket workswonders to keep you warm. Plastic bagscan also be worn over your clothes whenit rains.
. Half fill ahotwaterbottle before goingto bed – it keeps the water warmer forlonger when it is not filled to the brim.
. Move your bed away from the wallslightly – this will help keep cold air awayfrom you.
. Do not drink alcohol as it drops corebody temperature.
. Use sandbags around your homewhen it rains to keep water from enteringyour house.
. Never leave a fire unattended andventilate your home if you do use fire forheating or cooking.
. Try to eat nutritious, warm food suchas soup.
. Exercise – by staying active you willkeep warm and it also assists with overallhealth.
The Mustadafin Foundation distributeswarm nutritious meals, blankets and sec-ond-hand clothing to destitute communi-ties in the Western Cape as part of theirwinter warmth initiative. If you wouldlike to join this initiative and ensure thosein need are warm and dry this winter,please donate quality second-hand cloth-ing or sponsor a hot pot of food.V Call Mustadafin Foundation on 021 633 0010 orvisit their website at www.mustadafin.org.za.

The Khusela iKhaya Project have embarkedon a partnership which hopes to ensure thatno young child learns on an empty stomach.People’s Post has reported on Khusela
iKhaya’s project to protect informal settle-ments from fires by the year 2020 (“Burningpassions unite to paint a better life”, People’sPost 27 October 2015 and “Fire safety wel-comed”, People’s Post 8 December 2015).Homes were painted in Flamingo Crescent inLansdowne, PhumlaniVillage inLotusRiveraswell asPook seBos inRylands,whichKhu-sela iKhaya will visit again to unveil and rollout their feeding initiative within earlychildhood.
Justin Zietsman, executive director ofKhusela iKhaya, says that effective educa-tion can only occur when there is an empha-sis on diet and proper nutrition amongstlearners – particularly in the early stages ofchildhood development. As a result theyhave partnered with JAM International andHeart FM with the aim to raise awareness
around proper nutrition as well as to allowthe public to get involved and feed hungrychildren especially in early learning centersacross the Cape Peninsula. The aim is to beable to feed between 5 000 and 10 000 childrenwith this campaign in June.
During May, the public with have the op-portunity to share the in the joy of feedingahungry child throughaSMScampaign. Theaim is to feed those children in our local com-munities that go to school hungry.
“Only once you are at the heart of thesecommunities do you understand the need forurgent intervention when it comes to nutri-tion. We started something positive last yearand hope to reach other communities also inneed. We call on all Capetonians to supportthis worthy initiative,” says Clarence Ford,presenter at Heart FM.
It costs R30 to feed a child for a month andonly R360 for an entire year. SMS the words“feed a hungry child” to 42160 and help us toreduce hunger, one child at a time. SMSescharged at R30.V For more information email [email protected] find Khusela iKhaya Project on Facebook.

The English politician and author Ed-mund Burke once said: “The only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for goodmen to do nothing.”This maxim is the inspiration behind the

youth and adults who destroy and steal in-frastructure and the direct impact of thisvandalism on communities.Situations where things like play parks,
fencing and bus stops are destroyed, cabletheft, stoning of busses and vandalism oftrains put communities at risk by threaten-ing jobs and education and incurring heavyfinancial costs.BTC hopes to use the musical to educate,
entertain and inform and The Golden Buswill be performed for free at schools acrossthe Western Cape from today (Tuesday 3May) until Wednesday 15 June,The production stars Dominique Solo-
mons, Nandipha Zonke, Amy Du Plooy,Thando Feni; Matthew Poole and AphiweMbinda. Joelene Daniels is responsible forthe choreography and musical directionwhile Theo. E. Davids is in the director’sseat.With a cast aged between 19 and 25, The
