Mayco member for transport for Cape Town, Brett Herron, further explains the lo- cal roads and stormwater office of the City’s transport authority initiated the project aft- er several sinkholes formed on top of the cul- vert running along the street. “In addition, the vertical alignment of the road was also incorrect due to sagging,” says Herron. “As a result a V channel formed in the middle of the road where water collected, forming little pools, instead of running off into the stormwater system on the side of the road.” The street is a little less than 300m long and has about 20 houses along its route. Some of the sinkholes were deep enough to fit a man to his shoulders. The pools of water in turn impacted on the safety of road users and shortened the road’s longevity, Herron explains. The total cost of this project inclusive of all four phases was R2 663 303. “The repairing and the sealing of the cul- vert above Gladiator Street were done in three phases,” says Herron. “Phase 1 commenced in the 2014/2015 fi- nancial year and phases two and three en- tailed the finalisation of the project. All of these phases to repair the culvert above Gladiator Street were completed in Februa- ry this year.” The fourth and final phase kicked off shortly after.

The road alignment to address the V channel, the realignment of the existing curb and channels, together with the man- hole covers, . The repair and strengthening of the road with a bitumen layer, and . The sealing of the road surface with an asphalt layer. The project was completed within the des- ignated time frame, Herron says.

Fun and games at club launchWoodlands now has its own recreation
club as the community centre was offi-cially relaunched on Wednesday.
The club was officially launched by theCity of Cape Town’s Sport, Recreation andAmenitiesDepartment and is oneof 55 recre-ation hubs in the city.
A variety of entertainment includingboard games, face painting, e-games, kiddiescorner, skateboarding and indigenousgames saw residents enjoying the launch.
The recreation club in Woodlands is oneof eight recreation hubs in Mitchell’s Plain.
These will include the Nelson MandelaFamily and Youth Centre, Swartklip IndoorCentre, Beacon Valley Community Centre,Eastridge Community Centre, MandalayHall, Weltevreden Valley Hall and ColoradoPark Hall which will be officially launchedlater this year.Daily programmes on offer at the Wood-
lands hub include health workshops, a sen-iors fitness club, taebo fitness club, after-school programmes, a rehab programmeand a weekly walking club.

of rands have been allocated by the depart-ment to provide recreation programmesthat contribute to social cohesion and ahealthy lifestyle among residents and com-munities.The Sport and Recreation Programmes
Policy, which was recently adopted by theCity, ensures that programmes are offeredin line with the needs and interests of thecommunity.Research indicates sustained involve-
ment in sport and recreation programmescan help combat challenges in communi-ties such as alcohol and drug abuse, crimeand vandalism.“Keeping residents active andengaged in

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 clothingto the centre as well on the same day.The items were handed over to the centre
on Tuesday last week.Louise Mulligan, 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 initiative andwewanted to partner with these ladies fromthe UK,” Mulligan says.On the ZABra page they describe the initi-
ative as “collecting pre-owned and new brasfor distribution to women who can’t affordto buy their own.”“AfreeBra initiative does recycling of a
different kind. Our wonderful CupHolders
collect pre-owned and new bras for womenin South Africa and other countries whocan’t afford their own. We work closelywith organisations who identify situationswhere women can benefit 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 theneither delivered or collected and handed tothe Cupbearers (volunteers who hand overthe bras to woman who cannot affordthem).None of the items are to be resold.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 accommo-dation. It happens on a regular basis butthat’s is why we ask them to develop a safe-ty plan and exit so that when they leavethey would have stashed some clothes anddocuments so they can pick that up on theirway to the shelter,” McLeod says.She adds that the donation of bras, is a
“luxury”. “Last year we received a dona-tion of R2500 and were asked what we weregoing to do with it and the first thing I saidwas thatwewouldbuyunderwear.Becausewe were running at low stock. But this do-nation will definitely come in handywherewomenwill have the ability to choose,” shesays.“This will certainly contribute to them
feeling better about themselves and to bemore confident because, for a woman,when you don’t have nice underwear on,you don’t feel pretty.”.V To find out more, like the Facebook page ZABRA AfreeBra initiative or contact [email protected].

Stay safe,warm and dryThe Western Cape is gearing up for what
is expected to be a cold and wet winter,and the Mustadafin Foundation urges resi-dents living in informal settlements to besafe and dry this winter season.The Western Cape, much like the other
provinces, is in dire need of rain. However,those living in impoverished areas shouldbe prepared for when the rainy seasonstarts, says Ghairunisa Johnstone-Cassiemdirector at the foundation.“We realise the devastating implications
of the rainy season on those less fortunate;homes are damp and wet, diseases spreadquickly and houses can be ruined in min-utes. Mustadafin Foundation calls on allresidents to gear up for the winter season,and be prepared to keep warm and dry.”The foundation provides disaster relief to
impoverished areas andalso distributeshotfood and blankets in the Western and East-ern Cape as part of their annual winterwarmth 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’s no
use complaining.But thenwe findorganisa-tions like Mustadafin that go the extra mileand give us a warm, decent blanket and ameal to fill our stomachs.”Johnstone-Cassiemagrees. “It is heartfelt
to witness what a simple blanket can do fora person. Often, they have nothing else tohelp keep them warm. Our volunteers andemployees haveworked tirelessly to tend tothose in severe need of winter warmth as-sistance.”For residents living in informal settle-
ments, Johnstone-Cassiem has the follow-ing tips to stay warm, dry and safe this win-
ter season:. Block all cold drafts coming into your
home 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 youwarm. Plastic bags canalso be worn over your clothes when itrains.
. Half fill a hot water bottle before goingtobed – it keeps thewaterwarmer for longerwhen 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 home whenit rains to keep water from entering yourhouse.
. Never leave a fire unattended and ven-tilate your home if you do use fire for heat-ing 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 distributes
warm nutritious meals, blankets and sec-ond-hand clothing to destitute communitiesin the Western Cape as part of their winterwarmth initiative.If youwould like to join this initiative and
ensure those in need are warm and dry thiswinter, please donate quality second-handclothing or sponsor a hot pot of food.V For more information, to donate or volunteer callMustadafin Foundation on 021 633 0010 or visit theirwebsite at www.mustadafin.org.za.

Inspiring lives wherever she goesEARL HAUPT
@EarlHaupt
Jane Mandean was born with cerebral pal-sy and despite this, has managed to over-
come every challenge that has she has comeacross as a result.
Mandean, who works 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 youarebeingvictimisedby this (condition). I amalso a very strong-willed person,” says Man-dean.
Being born with cerebral palsy meant thatMandean’s motor skills were under-devel-oped, affecting her legs in particular.
“I walk with a crutch with limited balance
and co-ordination,” she says.She was then enrolled at Eros School for
children with disabilities where she startedplaying sport at the age of 12.
After matriculating from the Eros School,Mandean furthered her sporting career, gar-nering many accolades along her way whichincluded representing South Africa in ath-letics at the Paralympics in Atlanta in 1996,the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 and 2004in Athens.
She hopes to be on her way to Rio de Janei-ro where the Paralympics will take place lat-er this year.
Mandean, who is one of four surviving sib-lings, suffered a horrific car accident in 2011while 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 ofbeing able to regain her already limitedmotor skills, but she says that even thatwas not as disappointing as the support, orrather the 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 didnot get as much support which left me dis-appointed.”
As a result, Mandean, who was alwaysinvolved 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 vis-it the church and got to know the pastor ofthe church. He saw that I was down and outand then (from there) he had a few counsel-ling 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 fewmonths after that and he said that he wouldcover the costs, pick me up and drop me andthat I did not have to do a thing and I mustjust get there. After three-and-a-half years,I finished my diploma in Theology. It wasnot 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.
Mandean has even been an inspiration ather workplace as she says that her office hasstarted adisabled forumwherewe thenmeetand discuss various issues where she hasgotten involved in helping to co-ordinate theannual Casual Day event in September.
“I would like to say that you must go foryour dreams in life. Nothing is too hard, be-cause whatever will come forth will bring infruit.”

More than 60 Early Childhood Develop-ment centres in Mitchell’s Plain have
heeded the call to register with government.On Thursday 21 April the City of Cape
Town held a registration drive and open dayat Lentegeur Civic Centre.Mayco member for social development
and early childhood development, SuzetteLittle, explains the aim of this initiative isto bring together all of the relevant govern-ment departments.“[The open day brings together] relevant
City line departments and Western CapeGovernment’s Department of Social Devel-opment to one service point to share infor-mation on the ECD registration proceduresand requirements,” says Little.Several other open days will be held
throughout the city in the next financialyear as the need arises.“Mitchell’s Plain was identified as having
a need for an open day of this nature. Thelaw requires that ECD centreswhich accom-modate more than six children must be reg-istered with the Western Cape GovernmentDepartment of Social Development,” saysLittle.
As part of the registration process, localgovernment assists ECD centres by issuingclearance certificates, namely land use com-pliance and building plan approvals, fireand safety clearance, aswell as environmen-tal health clearance certificates.A direct benefit for a registered ECD cen-
tre – in the low economic index area – is anopportunity to receive a government subsi-dy in order to runECDprogrammes in a sus-tainable manner.In turn children are able to access good
quality ECD services which nurture theirdevelopment.If you missed the event, there is still an
opportunity to register your organisation.“All unregistered ECD centres who
missed the registration drive are encour-aged to contact or visit the Western CapeGovernment’s Department of Social Devel-opment or the City’s social development andearly childhood development directoratedistrict office for advice,” she says.“The work of assisting unregistered ECD
centres has no set deadline as it is ongoing.The ECD open day events are intended tocomplement this ongoing work.”V Visit the offices or call Andile Wotshela programmemanager for the City’s ECD Programme on021 417 4088.

IN THE GARDEN
Autumn rain meansperfect time to plantAutumn has arrived and, along with it, some much neededrain which makes the conditions ideal for planting.Now is the time to get some plants and seedlings into the
garden.During the wintermonths your plants will have time to set-
tle and develop root systems in order to flourish when springand summer arrive.What should be on your gardening to do list this month:
Plant and sow. Try indigenous varieties like tritonia, lachenalia, ixias,
sparaxis, babianas, watsonias, chincherinchee and exoticslike ranunculus, anemone, hyacinths, daffodils andnarcissusfor some wonderful spring flowers
. Sow or plant winter- and spring-flowering seedlings likeAfrican daisies, sweet peas, Virginian stocks, cinerarias,snapdragons, lobelias, delphiniums, dianthus, nemesia, pan-sies, salvia, violas, scabiosa and Flanders poppies
. Don’t forget winter veggies like broccoli, broad beans,peas, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, spinach, onions and tur-nips – ideal for potjies, stews and soups.
Feed. Make sure you mow your lawn a little shorter and feed
it with a potassium-rich fertiliser to strengthen it before thewinter months
. Feed azaleas, camellias and tea bushes with a handful ofcolour burst. Mulch with super acidic mix and keep well wa-tered
. Container plants should be fed with Nitrosol to give thema boost before winter.
. Citrus treesneedahandful ofMagnesiumSulphate roundabout now; and remember to inspect the leaves carefully forsigns of citrus psylla or scale.
Prune. Prune evergreen hedges, summer-flowering shrubs and
overgrown climbers. Deadhead roses to encourage a last autumn flush.

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

Man falls from busduring ‘altercation’SAMANTHA LEE
@Samantha_lee121
A man is believed to have fallen fromaGoldenArrowBus on Jakes Gerwel
Drive near Athlone on Monday lastweek.The Lost City bus was heading in the
direction of Mitchell’s Plain when theback left window of the bus reportedlycame loose causing the man to fall fromthe bus.One report says the man was seated
while another claims the man was hang-ing out of the window and fell when thebus pulled away at a green robot.GoldenArrowBusServices spokesper-
sonBronwen Dyke confirmed the inci-
dent, but dismissed socialmedia reports.“We can confirm that the incident oc-
curred at 17:35 on the corner of Klipfon-tein Road and Jakes Gerwel Drive. Theincident occurred as a result of a physi-cal altercation that ensued between twopassengers,” says Dyke.She explains the altercation resulted
in one of the passengers dislodging theback right window during their scuffle.The man then fell out of the bus as a
result of this.“He sustained back injuries and indi-
cated that he would consult his own doc-
tor. The buswas not overcrowded and in-cidents of physical altercations have pre-viously occurred on buses,” Dyke says.“The bus is operated by one driver
which makes it difficult to immediatelyintervene in cases of physical scuffles be-tween passengers.”

What do 7000 homeless people and the starof a popular YouTube channel have in com-mon?They’ve all felt the sting of sleeping in a
spent the weekend sleeping on a rooftop inPlumstead to raise awareness of the chal-lenges homeless people face in winter.His #WeDidIt Winter Campaign saw
Saunders living on a rooftop last week fromThursday to Sunday, braving the colderCape Town weather, to collect 15 000 itemsof warm clothing or blankets.On just the first night, Saunders received
donations of 7500 blankets.“It’s quite an eye opener to sleep on the
street. This iswhat people experience everyday. These people live with the wind, rain
and street noise on a day to day basis,” hesays.Saunderswas joinedbyahandful of street
people who kept him company during thenight.“You appreciate what you havewhen you
listen to them. These people have nothing,but are still grateful. They don’t even havea cup of coffee to keep them warm.”BypartneringwithFaith,Hope andChar-
ity – anon-profit company –Saunders hopesto tap into the 55 000 strong audience thatwatches his content across various socialmedia platforms on a weekly basis. The#WeDidIt campaign video was launched onTuesday last week, with a strong call to ac-tion for Capetonians to join in social mediaactivism and support the homeless throughthe campaign.Saunders started out doing videos, chari-
table campaigns, pranks and question-naires in 2015. After the success of the 2015
Winter Campaign, which was called theWarm Blanket Challenge, Devon has de-cided to make the challenge bigger to seeif he can assist in amore substantialway.Says Saunders: “I’ve been fortunate
that some of my videos reach well over100 000 viewsand I thought I couldusemyplatform to not only bring a bit of laugh-ter, but also for the greater good to bringwarmth to our world.”A recently released study by the City
ofCapeTown found thereweremore than7000 homeless people in Cape Town. Ofthese, 4800 were living on the streetswhile the rest were in or assumed to beliving in shelters.The study, led by the directorate’s re-
searcher, LynnHendricks, found that outof 1700 homeless interviewees, femalesonly made up 20 percent of those livingon the streets. Those on the streets weremore likely to be male, between the agesof 25 and 45 years, native to Cape Town,and to have been living on the streets formore than a year because of a variety ofreasons suchas losing their house, unem-ployment, or a lack of family support.V For more information on the #WeDidIt WinterCampaign, watch the campaign video at Devdondidit www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAeYBnFVIxY

The English politician andauthor Edmund Burke
once said: “Theonly thingnec-essary for the triumph of evilis for goodmen to donothing.”This maxim is the inspira-
tion behind the BridgetownTheatre Company’s (BTC) lat-est musical, The Golden Bus,which combines dance, dramaand popular music arrange-ments to educate learnersabout vandalism.The production focuses on
incidences of youth and adultswho destroy and steal infra-structure and the direct im-pact of this vandalism on com-munities.Situations where things
like play parks, fencing andbus stops are destroyed, cable
theft, stoning of busses andvandalism of trains put com-munities at risk by threaten-ing jobs and education and in-curring heavy financial costs.BTC hopes to use the musi-
cal to educate, entertain andinform and The Golden Buswill be performed for free atschools across the WesternCape from today (Tuesday 3May) until Wednesday 15June,The production stars Dom-
inique Solomons, NandiphaZonke,AmyDuPlooy,ThandoFeni; Matthew Poole andAphiweMbinda. Joelene Dan-iels is responsible for the cho-reography and musical direc-tion while Theo. E. Davids isin the director’s seat.With a cast aged between 19

Recreation and Amenities Depart-ment hosted more than 600 teenag-ers who participated in the finalgames on Saturday 23 April.The teenagers, aged between 13
and 18 years old, represented thefour City districts.This year’s games was won – for
the second year in a row – by Dis-trict 4, which includes the north-ern areas of Bonteheuwel, Sarepta,Scottsdene and Belhar.District 4 also won the Team
Spirit award.“Thegamesareverypopular and
each year the competition is fierce.The event gives young people anopportunity to compete in a num-ber of sport and recreationalevents in a safe environment,” saidMaycomember for community ser-vices and special projects, BelindaWalker.Before themain event, the games
see the four City districts competeagainst each other at three levels.The first is the facility level,
where more than 20 000 partici-pants take part in the games.About 5000 of these participants
then advance to the area levelwhere just over 3000 participantsare selected to participate at dis-trict level.The final participants who ad-
vance from the district level gamesthen participate in the depart-ment’s overall Cape Town Games,which usually includes about 640participants.The participants compete in var-

Tired of the turmoils of the political situa-tion in South Africa?On Freedom Day last week Wednesday
there was a new form of protest on thestreets of the Peninsula, and other parts ofthe country, where you could voice yourfeelings.Started on Facebook, the South Africa
First Forum called on people to take to thestreets if they were unhappy with the stateof affairs in government.Patric Mellet, who is part of the working
committee,was excited about the initiativethat introduced a new way of protesting.“It took protest to people’s neighbour-
hoods instead of the norm of holding pro-tests in the form of marches in city cen-tres,” he says.“This gives opportunity for much more
people to engage in protests over muchwider areas and indeed to more easily mo-bilise people more quickly especially ifthere is a strong organised command cen-tre. It personalises protest and allows forcreativity and ownership. It can be repli-cated across class and colour barriers orrural-urban divides. Most importantly weproved that it works.”Mellet added that through using elec-
tronic communication technology, scenesfrom the protests in the form of videos and
photos instantly were relayed across thecountry and the world.“Whereas only a limited audience was
reached by marchers in city centres, pick-etswerewitnessedby thousands across the
Cape Peninsula who were awakened to seethat people just like themselves were vocaland taking a stand.“The neighbourhood picket approach
can now be awakened across South Africa
to make bigger and bigger impacts.“People simply join others in a central
place in their own neighbourhoods wherethere is high visibility and passing traffic.“We reach as many people if not more
than political parties bussing people intolarge stadiums without incurring the ex-penses that they do.”Mellet explained that the forum was
started by committed and passionate SouthAfricanswhohavemade big and small con-tributions in the struggle against apart-heid.“Our objectives remain democracy, non-
racialism, non-sexismand freedom,” he ex-plained. We are deeply concerned at the di-rection in which the current leadership ofthe African National Congress, govern-ment and parliament are taking our coun-try. As the working committee we are com-mitted to the ideal of placing our country,constitution and people first.”On Facebook, Zarina Richardson, who
picketed in Rondebosch, says it was so em-powering to have a voice and a platform toshow that she cared about the situation inthe country.“It is vital for the younger generation to
understand and experience firsthand whatit means to be defenders of the constitutionand being born “free” comes with an awe-some responsibility.”V For more information about the forum go towww.facebook.com/groups/1579761445667820/.

He went toUCT as an amputee, but still loved squash,and made his main focus at UCT being partof the squash club and contributing as besthe could. He would go on court (with an arti-ficial leg) and hit balls to beginners and helpthem with their technique. He was also cen-trally involved with organising the firstUCT Squash Tour to the USA in December2000, and went on the tour as manager – alsoplaying a couple of matches en route.
The tournament is a reminder of the spiritof Keith and his amazing squash crazy fami-ly. Keith’s sister, Natalie, a former worldno.1 squash player, supports the tourna-ment from the USA and is instrumental inraising funds and profile for the event.
