Remember the vibrantway of life in District SixNICOLE MCCAIN
@nickymccain
On 11 February 1966, a declaration wasmade that would change the lives of
over 60 000 people: District Six became awhite area.District Sixwas named the sixthmunici-
pal district of Cape Town in 1867. It wasoriginally established as a mixed commu-nity of freed slaves, merchants, artisans,labourers and immigrants.District Six was a mixed-use area, ex-
plains District Six Museum director Boni-ta Bennett, made up ofmostly a residentialcommunity, places of worship, schools,sports clubs and community centres.“Structures were grand old buildings
with intricate architecture, some crum-bling and in need of repairs but many stillsturdy and inhabitable. People from allover lived there: local, early immigrantsfrom Europe, India and other parts of Afri-ca,” she says.The areawasmuch like “downtownHar-
lem in New York City breathing a life ofits own”, says ShahiedAjam, a former resi-dent and chairperson of the District SixWorking Committee.“It was a city within a city and life was
relatively good despite our hardships.Trade and commerce were vibrant and it‘felt good’ to be a part of this cosmopolitancommunity,” he says.But all this changed on 11 February 1966,
when it was declared a white area underthe Group Areas Act. Over the next twentyyears the community was forcibly re-moved to the Cape Flats, their houses inDistrict Six bulldozed to the ground.
Looking backYusuf Khan remembers the day he real-
ised he would have to leave, after hearingthe news while at work at the harbour.“I understood we would have to move,
but I refused to move to Mitchell’s Plain.I said: ‘They will have to throw me out.’”But working later shifts, with his four
daughters and three sons at home, the safe-ty of his children soon became an issue.“It was dangerous for them. People
would come to the empty houses next doorand set them alight,” he remembers.“We moved on a Friday night in Novem-
ber or December to Lentegeur. When wegot there, there was no electricity.”Harold Titus was 15 when the declara-
tion was made. Having been born andgrowing up in District Six, in a diversecommunity, he had little understanding ofwhat itwouldultimatelymean forhis fami-ly.“There was no difference between Mus-
lim and Jewish, or between white and col-oured,” he says of District Six.In 1979, he was forced to move with his
wife and three children to Manenberg.
“I didn’t want tomove and they camewithtrucks and moved my things. I had nochoice,” he says.LeavingDistrict Six brokehis heart, Khan
says.“People talk about the rainbownation, but
thatwas the real rainbownation. Our neigh-bours were white and three houses downwere blacks. We were all friends. Theyplayed rugby on our team and went to thebioscope with us,” he says.The lesson to take fromDistrict Six is that
there is nothing to fear in diversity, Bennettsays.“Themore diverse a community, themore
enriched the communitymembers are likelyto be as a result of their exposure to differentways of being, different cultural norms andways of life. A vibrant public cultural life isthe result,” she says.In the fifty years since the declaration,
some notable achievements have come outof District Six, Bennett believes, in the affir-mation of the cultural contribution of art-ists, writers, political thinkers and othersfrom the area.“There has been a growing awareness of
a particular way of life that was exemplaryin all its complexity. There has been anawareness that restitution is not only aboutbuilding and claiming homes, but also aboutthe cultural memory of the community.Without ensuring that the intangible valuesand heritage of the community is protected,District Six restitution is likely to just be aconcrete jungle,” she says.
Looking forwardHowever, a lagging restitution process
still remains a deep disappointment tomany, Bennett says.The 50th anniversary of the declaration
naming District Six a white area means “re-membering the pain, anguish, dehumanisa-tion, deprivation and degeneration whichforced removals brought with it,” Ajamsays.“The people need closure and the land
claims commission, as well as the newly re-vitalised Land Claims Court, need to practi-cally implement the transformational intentof theprovisionsof theAmendedRestitutionof Land Rights,” he says.“Restitution in District Six is not about
half-baked housing schemes doomed to fail.Restitution is about restoring the rights ofpeople, restoring back the land to the peopleand respecting the dignity and heritage ofthe people. And that goes for all other histor-ically disadvantaged communities whowere affected by apartheid and its racistpractices,” he says.But the future of District Six looks bright,
Bennett says.“We look forward to a vibrant community
which is both aware of and invested in itsheritage; a community which can build apost-apartheid diversity and has structuresand leaders who can help to imagine a won-derful future together.”Khan believes the culture and heritage of
District Six will be carried forward by thefuture generation. “It won’t be the same, butI’d like for my grandchildren to go back. Itwould be nice. A fresh start,” he says.Titus adds: “We want our land claims
back. To move back to District Six would belike living in paradise.”
District Six encapsulated “a particular way of life that was exemplary in all its complexity”before it was declared a white area exactly fifty years ago, says the director of the District SixMuseum. PHOTO: RICHARD GIRDWOOD/ DISTRICT SIX MUSEUM

Mitchell says the wing will be open to all resi-dents.“Wewill decide tomove patients over to the
wing on the recommendation of the doctorsand those who are on their last,” he says.Philander, who has helped the facility be-
fore hewas a councillor, says hewill continueto offer support to the facility and pay specialattention to its needs.The facility has been around for 20 years,
and Philander commends the team for mak-ing positive changes.“When people come to me and complain
about the frail care centre I send them backand tell them to have a look at what is happen-ing at the centre. The elderly cannot afford tolive in lavish homes in Constantia, but I cansay they are equally cared for here,” he says.He urges residents to continue to support
and look after the centre as it could be themneeding its help in the future.Mitchell agrees.He further says they are always in need of
volunteers.“People can always give their time. Time
costs nothing and is so important. The olderpersons long for conversation,” he tells Peo-ple’s Post.Other needs include fresh produce, toilet-
ries and transportation.The facility also recently reopened its day-
care centre.The frail care centre accommodates 50 sen-
iors and is based next to the new wing.The facility is used for peoplewhoneedhelp
looking after their mothers and fathers whilethey are at work.V For more information on how to get involved or aboutthe daycare call 021 376 1440.

Several suspects were arrested duringcrime prevention operations in Mitch-ell’s Plain recently.During the pastweekup to Sunday, po-
lice conducted several crime operationswhich led to several arrests.The crime prevention unit arrested
two suspects, aged 22 and 42 years, forpossession of an illegal firearm and am-munition at a house in Ferrari Street,Beacon Valley on Sunday at 23:26.Officers searched the house after a tip-
off and found a hunting rifle with a tele-scope mounted on the rifle and one liveround hidden at the back of the yard.Both men appeared in the Mitchell’s
Plain Magistrate’s Court on charges re-lating to possessionof anunlicensed fire-arm and ammunition.On Wednesday at 18:00 members fol-
lowedup on information about drugs be-ing sold at a house in Piketberg Street,Tafelsig.They searched the house and discov-
ered 65 packets of tik, four mandrax tab-lets, one mandrax half tablet, one parcelof dagga and three small plastic packetsof dagga.A 37-year-old man was arrested and

Low turnout at march disappointsCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Amarch expected to lure hundreds of peo-ple turned out to be a disappointment on
Saturday as a small group of people pitchedon the day.The #GangsterismMustFall campaign
kicked off its march on Saturday morningstarting outside the Manenberg police sta-tion with less than 100 people, despite pi-quing the interest of people via social me-dia. Transport was also organised for thosecoming from other communities.
The march, which was held in solidaritywith the Boltman family of slain 10-year-oldJayden Smith, took place while the funeralwas held in Parkwood.
The marchers were, however, not de-terred by their small number while theyyelled slogans, such as “An injury to one isan injury to all” and “Wewant drug-free andgang-free communities”, as the march pro-ceeded in soaring temperatures.Themarch-ers went down the Klipfontein corridor andfinished at the Athlone civic centre.
Convenor Roscoe Jacobs, from Hout Bay,says the group that gathered on the dayshould not be discouraged.
“This campaign is about addressing theroot causes that are perpetuating gangster-ism. This is the culture of whatmakes gang-sterism thrive in our communities andthese are the issues we want to address andhave to address,” Jacobs said on Saturdayafter the march.Before the march, Jacobs sent out a state-
ment accusing the mayor and premier ofhelping to “cultivate the moral decay inwhich gang culture thrives”.
“#GangsterismMustFall condemns thefailure of the Cape Town mayor and West-ern Cape premier to respond to the requestto collect the memorandum of gang-riddencommunities. This failure substantiatesour view that government lacks the politi-cal will to address the culture of gangster-ism which perpetuates and continues inCape Town,” the statement reads.
Thememorandum, compiled and contrib-uted to by various community members,was handed to a representative of the may-or’s office. Elgan Fortune, community facil-
itator of the mayor’s office, accepted andsigned the memorandum outside the Athlo-ne civic centre.
Themayorwas tasked to give feedback onthe demands set out in the memorandumwithin 10 days.Roegshanda Pascoe, Manenberg commu-
nity police forum chairperson, who attend-ed the march says “the process is long over-due”.
“Our communities have to unite and,though this will not happen overnight, westill need to take a stand. We need to keepour government accountable as these gang-sters are preying on the vulnerable,” Pascoesays.
She adds that communities are as ac-countable for gangsterism ripping commu-nities apart, saying that parents who har-bour gangster children should report them.Quinton Langeveldt from Kensington,
representing the Acre Road CommunitySafety Patrol, says in their community“there is only one government and it is thatof the gangsters”.
“There is no government there as thesegangs do as they please in our community
with little or no repercussions. These gangsare recruiting faster than our army andthey have better tactics. We need to makegangsterism unattractive to our children,”he says.
Langeveldt urges communities to “fightthe system of gangsterism, instead of gang-sters”.
“We have to look at the root causes ofgangsterism and tackle those issues. Gangsand their members will fall by themselves,”he says.
Hanif Loonat, chairperson of the Mitch-ell’s Plain community police forum cluster,says communities “should not be compla-cent”.
“We need to become proactive and takeback our communities. Those who decidedto stay home for no reason: to you I say thatyou are no different from these evil peoplewho hold us hostage.We have themost hyp-ocritical communities in this country. Weblame everybody besides ourselves for thechallenges we experience. We are the archi-tects of our own undoing. We are leaving alegacy that our future generations are goingto hold us responsible for,” Loonat says.

Several Mitchell’s Plain organisationshave made their voices heard.

The campaign calls for support fromorganisations and communities to jointhe fight against gangsterism.Sandy Schuter Jacobs, chairperson of
the Strandfontein CPF, openly pledgedher support of the initiative, challeng-ing residents to join the fight againstcrime.Launched in December, the move-
ment has been drumming up supportfrom all over the city with the hope ofseeing gangsterism fall in the WesternCape.The first march was held in Manen-
berg last Saturday and saw thousands ofpeople join.Prior to themarch, Abie Isaacs, chair-
person of the Mitchell’s Plain CPF, toldPeople’s Post he stood behind the cause100%.“Everyone complains about crime,
but no-one wants to sacrifice the time toraise their concerns. This is a good initi-ative and we support it,” he said.

City’s créchegets operatorThe Strandfontein early childhood de-
velopment (ECD) centre is one ofmany planned as part of a City of CapeTown project.After the official turning of the sod in
2014, the Strandfontein and FisantekraalECD facilities already have their opera-tors appointed.After theCity buildsECDcentres, they
are leased to private operators.In addition, the City is finalising the
appointment of operators for the com-pleted Ocean View ECD centre. The con-struction programme for the current fi-nancial year is on track, says the City.The City’s social development and earlychildhood development directorate hasbudgetedR12m towards the constructionand finalisation of three facilities.
More centresThe Nantes ECD centre in Athlone is
scheduled for completion in May, whilethe process to appoint an operator for theGolden Gate ECD centre in Netreg is un-der way. Construction of the Delft ECDcentre is set to start in April, with com-pletion expected in February 2017.“There have been instances where ap-
pointing operators has taken longer thanwemight have hoped, but we have to fol-low due process. We have also been sub-ject to unfortunate construction delaysover the years, but ultimately we areworking as quickly as possible to getthese facilities up and running to helpaddress the pressing need for qualityECD facilities in ourmost vulnerable ar-
eas,” says Suzette Little, mayoral com-mittee member for social developmentand early childhood development.The directorate currently has 26 fully
functioning ECD centres across the citythat are leased to private operators.
TrainingIn addition, ECD practitioners are
trained on national norms and stan-dards, while resources and support areprovided to ECD centres that have yet tobecome registered facilities. During thecurrent financial year, the directorateaims to help 200 ECDs to become compli-ant so that they may register with theWestern Cape department of social de-velopment. This will be done by givingthem items such as first-aid kits, learn-ing materials, blankets and mattresses.
Toy libraryThe directorate is in the process of
forming a partnership with the City’s li-brary and information services depart-ment to establish ECD toy library re-source sections within City libraries.The aim is to provide opportunities forthe ECD sector, including parents andcaregivers, to have access to toys and ed-ucational materials for children.“Building ECDs is one of our top prior-
ities, but we recognise that by buildingpartnerships with private ECD opera-tors we can benefit more children. So wewill continue providing training, servi-ces and resources to as many ECDs asour budget allows,” says Little.

Red bus to love(ly) sightsOthello is featured in the Maynardville
open-air theatre in Wynberg this year asthe stage for the annual Artscape Shake-speare production.
This year marks the 60th anniversary ofthe venue as well as the 400th anniversaryof Shakespeare’s death in 1616. Throughoutthe year, theatre companies across the globewill pay tribute to William Shakespeare’slasting legacy.
“The spectacular Maynardville Park of-fers patrons a 500m2 park for pre-show pic-nics and drinks, as well as a unique wooded720-seater theatre,” says Belinda Walker,mayoral committee member for communityservices and special projects.
Since its establishment in 1956, the theatrehas presented a Shakespeare play each year.
It attracts an average attendance of 20 000theatregoers.
A major focus of the theatre has also beento introduce young people to Shakespeare’splays. As many as 8000 pupils attend eachyear.
“It is especially an attraction for pupilswho have it as a setwork piece, since a liveproduction will allow them to delve furtherinto the various themes,” says Walker.

The production will run until Tuesday 23February.V For more information visit www.artscape.co.za.

A life in community serviceSAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_Lee121
Boxes and boxes of photos tell of a lifetimeof memories.He has spent his life in the service of oth-
ers and he shows no signs of slowing down,despite requests from his family.Abdoraof Ismail, a communityworker liv-
ing in the Portlands area, has been activelyworking to improve the lives of residentssince the 1980s.He was born and raised in Sambokland,
now known as Kenwyn, in March 1952.It is here where he first became involved
in community work.Fresh out of high school he married his
wifeGaliema and together they continued towork in Kenwyn until the implementationof the Group Areas Act, which forced thefamily to move to Lotus River.“It was a very sad and emotional time to
see my father hopeless. But we moved andstarted a life there. I was involved with theMalay choir at the time, the best choir at thetime, and then had the opportunity to moveinto Woodlands as one of the first residentsthere,” he says.Galiema recalls many fond times they
spent together working in the community,from feeding schemes in what now is Heinz-park to the development of mosques andchurches.“We saw to a lot of poor people, taking
them in to stay with us. We also collectedfood items and cooked for hundreds of peo-ple in Heinzpark,” she says.Galiema also recalls their involvement in
the riots, where they would run into theschools and get the pupils out. She says itwas a tough time as onmany occasions theyhad to remove birdshot from the children’sbodies.“Those were tough years,” she says.Another highlight for the couple is the vis-
it by Nelson Mandela to their Portlandshome, shortly after his release from prison.
Heavily involved in politics at the time, Is-mail hosted the former president, who spoketo the Muslim community from his balconyahead of the 1994 elections.And although he was involved in election
drives, he did not cast his vote in the firstdemocratic election.“Iwas asked to go to SaudiArabia to facili-
tate the voting abroad, but we were not al-lowed to vote at the time,” he says.Thiswashis secondpilgrimageandheand
his wife completed a third one together.
Founder of organisationsSome of Ismail’s other accolades include
a successful Muslim school, founding sever-al institutions, including the CaledonianCricket Club, the AMEG training school,several street committees and neighbour-hood watch groups and being instrumentalin the establishment of the Portland IndoorCentre.Galiema also opened a daycare run from
their home for several years.He has also served onmany bodies and or-
ganisation boards in the area.It has been a lifetime, but Abdoraof shows
no signs of slowing down.“At a recent family meeting my children
askedme to stopworking in the community,but that is too difficult,” he says.He continues to host a family fun day and
carols by candlelight event as a way to giveback to his community. He says he will con-tinue to do so as long as possible.Hit with a lot of speculations and negativi-
ty, Abdoraof says he just wants people toknow he does not want to gain from it, butinstead see the benefit for the community.“I just want people to know who I am. I
am an ordinary person. I believe I have noenemies and if someone has something tosay about me, I would like them to say it tomy face,” he says.V Abdoraof Ismail has been living in Portlands for 36years and has been married to Galiema for 43 years.They have three children and five grandchildren.

The truth aboutGreat WhitesOne of the most hated and misunderstood animals that hasever set foot on this planet, or put fin towater, areGreatWhitesharks. Sci-fi movies and shark attacks have resulted in a tar-nished reputation.Sharks have been roaming the ocean for more than 400m
years. A testament to the adaptation techniques of sharks isthat theyhave survivedmanymass extinctions, including theextinction thatwipedout thedinosaurs.This great adaptationhas resulted in sharks becoming an apex predator of theocean.Although Great Whites are widely distributed in the global
ocean, they are extremely common along the South Africancoastline, particularly in places such as Gansbaai, False Bayand Mossel Bay. These areas are also known for the largeamounts of fish and seals on which Great Whites feed. In thewinter months, Seal Island in False Bay is a popular huntingground for Great White sharks.GreatWhite sharks, despite popularbelief, are in fact select-
ive predators. It often occurs that GreatWhites swim throughthe surf of popular swimming spots along the False Bay coastwithout attacking any people in the water.Although there are shark attacks that occur yearly, it is ex-
tremely rare for a shark attack to be fatal. Last year, onlythree people died from a shark attack which is an extremelylow number compared to the 100m sharks that are killed eachyear by humans.Sharks have no natural predators. However, due to the
large amount that are killed each year, the population num-bers are drastically declining. This decline could have a dras-tic impact on the food web as sharks feed on seals who in turnfeed on fish. If the seal population increases, the fish popula-tion will decrease, which would have a negative impact onthe fishing industry. This has resulted in many countries,such as Australia and New Zealand, protecting the GreatWhite shark.It is important that we change the false perception we have
of the GreatWhite shark and, instead, focus on learningmoreabout this creature.
LETTERS
Use your vote as a bargaining toolAllow me this opportunity toexpress my frustration with theslow pace of major development inareas such as Eastridge, BeaconValley, Tafelsig and other poorercoloured communities on the CapeFlats and in Atlantis and Mamre.It is becoming clear to me and
many other people that we are theforgotten ones, the voting fodder.We have to wait patiently and
pray for prosperity to tricklethrough to our areas. A play parkhere and there and we have to begrateful and shut up. Our streetsare being swept and cleanedwhenever the responsible personfeels like it and at intervals quitefar and wide apart.Over the last few years, cable
thieves have stolen just about everyTelkom cable in these areas.Telkom staff took a radical decisionnot to replace cables, which undernormal circumstances would seemto be a rational decision to makeand I do understand this.Why should law-abiding citizens
and those who supported Telkomover many years be punished? Ihave not seen Telkom aggressivelychasing after these cable thieves. Iam also yet to see Telkom runninga high-impact campaign in areas
where this problem has reachedcritical levels. I did, however, seeTelkom rolling out fibre technologyin some of the most affluent areasin our country, including Constan-tia, Bishopscourt, Camps Bay andSandton.Gang violence has plagued many
parts of the Cape Flats for manymonths now. Why should ourpeople get used to the idea of livingin fear and accept that gang cultureis part of our lives? We deservebetter than this.Reality is that many of our
people are suffering, struggling tomake ends meet and living a life ofdespondency.As a coloured person living on
the Cape Flats, I am calling onevery potential voter to use theupcoming municipal election as abargaining tool in an effort to seereal development. Use your cell-phones and make video recordingsof every public meeting beingaddressed by potential wardcouncillors lobbying for your votes.Ensure that you have hard
evidence of all promises, which youcan hold against them in the eventof them winning in your ward. Wecan simply not afford to give awayour votes anymore. I certainly have
no issue with people being blindlyloyal to their political parties,however, at which point do youbecome loyal to your own familyand your own community?These elected officials work for
us and not the other way around.We need to hold them thoroughlyaccountable.Your vote is as good as cash! You
wouldn’t overpay for a product atone store when you can buy it atanother store for way less money.Why would you continue voting fora councillor or a party that contin-ues to make promises and constant-ly fails to deliver?If your current councillor failed
to keep your streets clean, failed tobeautify your area, failed to holdregular meetings, failed to providedecent play parks for the children,failed to assist with your municipalmatters, then do not vote for thatsame person or his party. If yourchildren cannot play outside due togang violence and unsafe parks,vote out your councillor and votein a new person.Let your councillor work and
work hard for that lucrativepackage they earn.

Prices up, prices downThere is one thing we all have incommon and that is that no matter yourrace, we all have red blood and all, wellmost of us, have common sense.I always admired people who, when
on a podium or public platform, usedplain simple logic sense and sentencesto get their message across to theiraudiences. Many inventions – when theyare patented and then placed on shop
shelves or being advertised – are seenby the general public only to realisethat the inventor used plain commonsense and then placed this commonsense theory into a tangible product.What is the point I want to make?We all are consumers.We noticed on the shelves of our
shops and butchers how slowly andsurely the meat price – our main sourceof protein – went up to almost unafford-able heights, but we still in a small waybought meat but in lesser quantities(and thank goodness for specials).Now all of a sudden we have drought
and this lack of water plays havoc onthe farms because our animals, orrather the farmers’ animals, are beingnegatively affected in feed and life-giv-ing water and this leads to starvationand appeals for relief funding from thegovernment.These funds cannot give water nor
feed, only rain and water does this, asnature intended.Now the farmer has control over the
number of animals he sends to marketand this control, common sense tells us,kept the monetary value up of meatproducts, because this strategy keptprices high for us, the strugglingconsumer.Some of us contemplated starting
free-range animal farming in suburbiabut bylaws and neighbourly complaintsthrew brakes on our farming ideas.Here is where I lose the plot complete-
ly: the farmers, and we thank God forour farmers, are now forced to slaughtertheir animals on an almost genocidalscale and now the markets, commonsense tells us, is so flooded that theprices must come down.This is not the case with this flood of
meat – rather a herd in the fridge thanstarving on the field. And yet the pricesstill go up. To get rid of this meat onewould think, with the common sense itdeserves, the prices must come down.Can someone with common sense
explain to us, the common consumer,how this meat flood is not benefiting,for a change, the consumer?

Hundreds of beneficiaries have recentlycome forward with complaints about il-
legal deductions from their South AfricanSocial Security Agency (Sassa) grants.
The provincial department of social devel-opment has requested that Sassa urgentlyinvestigate reports of unauthorised deduc-tions from grants at the Mitchell’s Plain pay-out point.
“We continue to call on the public to be vig-ilant, and for them to not give out their ac-count PIN numbers and details,” the depart-ment says in a statement.
“In addition, Albert Fritz, provincial min-ister of social development, has written tothe national minister, Bathabile Dlamini,
requesting urgent action to stop the illegaldeductions experienced by social grant re-cipients.”
Fritz has also reported the matter to Sassa.Local ward councillors are inviting bene-
ficiaries to attend a meeting at the PortlandIndoor Centre on Monday 15 February at19:00. The meeting is open to all beneficia-ries living in Mitchell’s Plain and Strandfon-tein and will be an opportunity for benefici-aries to voice their concerns.
Ward councillor Solomon Philander saysthey aim to have Sassa representatives atthe meeting to address claims of illegal de-ductions, which are often reflected as air-time or electricity vouchers.
Philander was recently at a meeting withsome of the beneficiaries and says they allhad similar complaints.
Some of the other complaints are aboutcards, waiting for reimbursements, gettingpaid out less than expected for months andSassa officials who are not able to help.
In some cases there were insufficient staffto help the beneficiaries at the time of thevisit.
Sassa spokesperson Kgomoco Diseko saysthey are concerned about service providersin the financial sector who debit beneficiaryaccounts without authorisation from thebeneficiaries.
“In such cases we depend on beneficiaries
to report cases to us so that they can be in-vestigated. If the outcome of an investiga-tion finds that a beneficiary didn’t authorisea particular transaction, Sassa goes out of itsway to ensure that a refund is secured forthe beneficiary. We do this using our disputeresolution mechanism procedure.
“Beneficiaries are advised to keep theircards in a safe place known only to them andto avoid disclosing their PINs to other people– even family members, because in some cas-es family members use details to procureservices such as airtime,” says Diseko.
Diseko adds the problem is not only expe-rienced in the Western Cape and call centreshave been set up to help resolve problems.

Local comedian Dalin Oliver is giving lo-cal audiences one last chance to see hissuccessful one-man show I came, I taught,I left, before he takes the production to othercities.As a sports presenter on Good Hope FM
by day and a comedian by night, Dalin’s ca-reer took an interesting turn before arriv-ing on the entertainment stage.
I came, I taught, I left is a recollection ofhis experiences as a student, and later, asa teacher, the profession he originally setout to master.While his foray into teaching was short,
the classroom turned out to be a spring ofcontent for his first production.Although he performed I came, I taught,
I left, directed by Stuart Taylor, at the Na-tional Arts Festival in Grahamstown be-fore, he onlybrought the showtoCapeTownfor the first time in September last year.His run at theBaxter’sGoldenArrowStu-
dio was so successful that Dalin decidedhe’d need to make another turn on the Bax-ter stage. In fact, the show sold out beforeopening night already.“It’s very humbling,” he says, adding:
“It’s a cool thing to be received so nicely bya home crowd.”Dalin says he found his shows very inter-
active, but has beenworking on keeping theinteractionwithhis crowdwithout compro-mising the running time of the show.“For me it was about making it a tight
product and leaving it at the punchline.”Dalin will be back at the Baxter from
Monday 22 February to Saturday 5 March.And if all goes according to plan, the showwill be filmed for a live DVD.From there he’ll take the show to Port
Elizabeth, back to Grahamstown, and per-haps to Johannesburg.“Joburg’s a bit of a beast when it comes
to how to get an audience to a venue,” hesays.
Movie debutIn between all this, Dalin is also prepar-
ing forhis big-screendebut alongside acting
veteran Neels van Jaarsveld and his come-dy mentor Stuart in Finders Keepers. Set tobe released inJune,Dalinwasquietlywork-ing on the local comedy last year.“Finders Keepers is an action comedy
that’s based on friendship, supposed friend-ship, betrayal, love and, eventually, happi-ness,” he explains.“I’m excited about it, but also nervous.”He met director Maynaard Kraak in Gra-
hamstown during the first run of his showin 2014, and although he found the scriptfunny, he recalls reminding Maynaard:“You know I’m not an actor, hey?”A few crash courses in on-screen acting
later, Dalin was on set, playing a lead role.“Whether any of that helped at all, I have
no idea.”
Naked sceneWhile each character in the film has his
own story, Dalin plays a “socially awk-ward” character, who he says is prettymuch an overstatement of himself.“He justwants people to lovehim, buthe’s
genuine.”One part of the script he found rather
amusingwas a scene inwhichhis characterLonnie gets mugged and has to run nakedthrough the park . . . until he realised thatwould mean him running naked.“I thought: ‘This is out ofmy comfort zone
completely.’”In the end it turned out fine and Dalin
says there’s no real nudity and lots of “nicecomedy” in the scene, so he felt completelycomfortable.“That’s going to be fun once it releases,”
he says of the film.Dalin also recently performed on a Good
HopeFMcruise on theMSCSymphonia andwas a host at the at the J&B Met’s publicvillage earlier this month.He hopes to have a brand new show to
bring to stage next year, but for now, Cape-tonians can catch I came, I taught, I left onelast time at theBaxterGoldenArrowStudiofrom Monday 22 February to Saturday 5March.V Tickets are available at Computicket. Visit www.dal-inoliver.com to stay up to date with Dalin and his com-edy.

Bursaries for theatre directors
Compositions‘cross borders’between genresGARY VAN DYK
@gvdcapejazz
A music teacher from Belhar wants tobreak the boundaries between musical
genres with an innovative project thatcomes from his heart.Keith Tabisher should know what he is
talking about. He is the senior curriculumplanner for music in the provincial educa-tion department and in his community heis renowned for jazz projects that have pro-duced some of the best in the business.Manyof hismusiciansmake it intonationalbands at major festivals.“We’ve lived in ‘boxes’ for too long,” he
says. “Music is music is music. There’sgood and there’s bad, but the time has comefor strict divisions between genres to comedown.“When it comes to teaching music we
must try to open young minds to all kindsof music.”To provehis pointKeith haswrittenmore
than 20 guitar compositions which repre-sent a body of originalmusic that defies cat-egorisation.“The pieces are a mix of folk, popular,
contemporary and jazz elements written ina chord andmelody guitar style that derivesa lot from classical guitar technique, but us-es modern, jazzy harmonic and rhythmiclanguage.“I call thisworkmyHeartsongproject, be-
cause the pieces come from a place deepwithin my psyche. They have developed or-ganically and in a non-contrived way. I lis-tened to the songs ofmyheart and found thenotes, was led by the notes and allowed the
notes to take shape without too much inter-ference from my conscious self.”A furtherdevelopmenthasbeenacollabo-
ration with composer and arranger Nielvan der Watt, who has set 15 of these piecesto guitar and string quintet and one pieceto guitar, marimba and strings.This collaboration has produced 16 ar-
rangements thus far.“These arrangements canbe envisaged as
a model for ensemble playing, that could beused at FET-school level and beyond as ma-terial for ensemble repertoire,” says Keith.Last week various stakeholders and mu-
sic lovers got a taste of these arrangementswhenKeith performedwith his ensemble atSt Cyprians High School in Vredehoek.With Keith on guitar the rest of the en-
semble consists ofKerrynTorrance (first vi-olin), Elina Koytcheva (second violin), Sar-ah Evans (viola), Cheryl de Havilland (cel-lo) and Brydon Bolton (double bass).“The music is about a search for artistic
and emotional beauty. It is about boundarycrossings to find commonalities. It’s aboutthe quest for true self-expression, celebrat-ing the diversity of creativity and culture,”he says.“We plan to take this music to more pub-
lic stages and make it more widely knownand also offer workshops covering a rangeof topics concerning the compositions, ar-rangements and ensemble playing.“The quintet represents all the instru-
ments of the string section in an orchestraand we can offer demonstration work-shops.”V For more information contact Keith on073 268 7444 or [email protected].
