The Wynberg Arcade, at 207 Main Road, officially opened its doors on Friday December 16 but has been trading since Tuesday December 13. The Arcade is the brainchild of Sekou Kaba, a Wynberg resident who moved to South Africa from Li- beria in 1996. According to Kaba, he started the business because he noticed a need in the area and thought it was a good business opportunity. “I had another market in Long Street that was called the African Woman’s Market. I closed that down and decided to open this,” said Kaba. “I opened this market to help me and also to help the other people who are selling in the street. There is no place for them to go, there is no place for them to sell – I can see there is a lot of demand for this.” Not all of the stores inside the market have been completed, but there will enough space to house 26 informal traders once construction has finished. The tenants at the market cur- rently include a barber, a cellphone repair shop, cafe, tailor, cosmetics store, African cuisine restaurant, internet cafe and a Rastafarian shop. According to Kaba, a doctor will also be setting up shop once the building has been completed. The entrance to the arcade is barely noticeable from Main Road, but there is a large open area at the rear of the building. Kaba says that he has grand plans for this space. “We’re going to start a car wash in the back where people can come and have their cars cleaned,” said Kaba. “I also want to start a fleamarket outside on Saturdays so that people can come and sell whatever they want to sell for free. It’s an opportu- nity for people in the neighbour- hood to sell what they have. Much like the area around it, the market is a diverse place. The ten- ants are from all over Africa, in- cluding Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana and South Africa, and the products and services on sale are equally eclec- tic. Francois Schoeman, a 26-year- old, runs a Rastafarian store which sells clothing, caps, music and me- dicinal herbs, amongst other things. Before setting up his store in the arcade, one of only three South Afri- cans who operate there, Schoeman sold his products from a stand near- by. “You have to give any new busi- ness time. It needs about six months to start being successful,” said Sch- oeman. “It’s an investment and you have to use your mind to get money for yourself. This is part of our life- style as Rastafarians; to be self em- ployed, to be self-sufficient and to be self-sustainable.” Daniel Pecku, a 28-year-old Clare- mont resident who moved to South Africa from Ghana eight years ago, runs the internet cafe at the Arcade. Pecku previously worked at an- other internet cafe in Claremont be- fore he started the business here with the help of his brother. According to Pecku, the arcade is the perfect location for an internet cafe. “I know how to set up a business and I know how to make money,” said Pecku. “This place is busy. It’s near a Pick ’n Pay, a pharmacy, and close to the Main Road. I don’t think I would have chosen any other place.” According to Kaba, only there is only space for two more ten- ants in the building. NIGHT LIFE: The Adderley Street night market kicked off last night and provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the Mother City’s festive lights. It will run every night (ex- cept Christmas) from 19:00 to mid- night till Friday 30 December. There are 180 stalls with an array of goodies to buy. Safe parking and medical staff will be on hand.

Buying local gifts boost economy’THE Cape Chamber of Commerce and Indus-try has called on locals to adopt a more crea-tive and patriotic approach to Christmas giftshopping this year.
Michael Bagraim, president of the cham-ber, said Capetonians should avoid purchas-ing imported products and by South Africaninstead.
He said a locally produced gift could be just
as rewarding and help to boost the South Af-rican economy as well.
“Instead of buying some imported product,why not spend the money on, say, a seasonticket for the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra,theatre or ballet tickets or a painting by a lo-cal artist?” asked Bagraim.
“These gifts may not make pretty parcelsunder a Christmas tree but they will bemeaningful presents and in every case theywill be supporting local entrepreneurs whilethey create jobs and boost the local econo-my.”
“For the kind of presents that will wrap upwell, do some of your shopping at a local craftmarket where you can buy anything from or-naments and jewellery to a bottle of straw-berry jam or a box of fudge.” The chamberrepresents the interests of businesses of allsizes around the city. Bagraim suggestedthat instead of bottles of whisky for clients,businesses could give vouchers for meals atselected restaurants, spa treatments, concerttickets or a car valet service. More intimategifts could include a new set of polishednails, beauty treatments or even eyelash ex-tensions, while masculine gifts could be gymmemberships, golf lessons or tickets to a testmatch at Newlands. Educational gifts couldinclude magazine subscriptions, greencards, visits to the planetarium, aquarium,zoo or safari park, and adventure gifts couldinvolve a trip up Table Mountain, a para-chute jump, paraglider flight or a scenic tripround the Peninsula in a motorbike-sidecarcombination. Bagraim said the chamber wasconvinced that this approach would injectmore fun into the festive season and get peo-ple thinking about supporting local busi-ness, particularly small ones run by enter-prising owner-managers.
PURE PLASTIC: The annual Mother City Queer Projects fancydress party has traditionally beenknown to kick off the festive season. This year the “Maid in China” theme played on the stereotypical house maid theme combined with familiar plastic massproduced items. Now in its 18thyear, the event was held at the CTICC on Saturday 17 December and boasted nine differentmusic areas. Photo: Jaco Marais

Minstrels allset for contestTAURIQ HASSEN
EVERYTHING seems to be in place forthe 2012 Annual Minstrel CompetitionatAthloneStadiumonMonday2Janu-ary.
According to the Cape Town MinstrelCarnival Association (CTMCA), threeleagues will be on show, with each troupecompeting in various events.
Kevin Momberg, chief executive officerfor the CTMCA, explained that eventssuch as Road March, Best Dress andBoard and also the judging for Best Seniorand Junior Drum Major will be takingplace.
There will also be some action on stage,with English and Afrikaans CombineChorus, Afrikaanse Moppie and JuvenileSentimental items all on show.
“Teams will be in various places, per-forming various items at the same time,so we have an action-packed day this yearand we all are looking forward to it,” saysMomberg. The CTMCA consists of threeleagues, namely Super League, PremierLeague and First Division.
Some of the top names in the SuperLeague are the Pennsylvanian CrooningMinstrels, Die Burger’s Happy Boys, San-tam District Six Entertainers and SaltRiver Crooners.
Councillor Grant Pascoe, MayoralCommittee member for tourism, eventsand marketing, highlighted that the Citywill be providing the necessary logisticalsupport, which includes portable toilets,fencing, water points and cleansing dur-ing and after the event.
“In addition, the City partners with thepolice to set up a Venue Operations Cen-tre for thedurationof the event; andmoni-tors the route via the CCTV network,”says Pascoe.
The City has highlighted three stadi-ums that will be in use for the minstrelcompetitions, namely Athlone Stadium,Vygieskraal and Phillippi Stadium.
“The City encourages members of thepublic to obey the instructions of all LawEnforcement,
Disaster Management, Fire and Rescueand medical personnel. No dangerous orharmful objects or substances are allowedin the precinct during the event. Resi-dents and visitors should behave respon-sibly and respect the rights of their fellowspectators,” Pascoe urged the public.
The first round of minstrel action kicksoff on 2 January. Cost is R30 for adults andR15 for children.
For further information, contactMomberg on 082 256 2427.
People’s Post will continue with cover-age of the minstrels in the New Year.
Visitors to the municipalbuildings in Cape Town willsee one of the highest sculp-tures in South Africa outsidethe front door.
The red sculpture is aboutnine metres tall and is madeout of industrial sections ofcast steel which are cut, weld-ed, bent and refitted to pro-duce an abstract form.
This sculpturewas created byEdoardo Villa (Ita-ly) in 1981.
Most Capeto-nians, or visitors tothe city, don’t knowwhat the artworkrepresents and furthermoredon’t know its name. Somefolk call it the “bent paper
clip”.It probably comes
as no surprise to findout that the sculp-ture is entitled
“The knot” as itsupposedly unitesall the sculptures on
the landing in front of the of-fice area.

Successful tournament draws to an endSuccessful tournament draws to an endLYNN PRINS
TURFHALL Stadium erupted withcheers on Saturday when locals
flocked to witness an exciting SoftballJunior Women’s World Championship(JWWC) final between their favourites,Japan and the US.
The US, who were crowned champions ofthe 2007 Softball Junior Women’s WorldChampionship, had a tough match againstJapan, but eventually won when, in the fifthinning, Cheyanne Tarango hit a grandslamhome run over the fence.
People’sPost is themediapartnerof theJW-WC.
Japan kept composure and fought back butonly managed to score one run, which led tothe US being crowned champions again forthe fourth time.
It was not easy for the US in the play-offs,since they faced Japan on Friday and lost thegame, sending Japan straight to the final.
Japan was then the only undefeated teamand the only team to have beaten the US.
The champions had to then face ChineseTaipei on Saturday to stand a chance to bein the final, where they successfully beat Chi-
nese Taipei 12-3.ChineseTaipei,whohadalso facedAustral-
ia in the play-offs on Friday, reduced the Aus-
sies to tears when they were defeated 3-2, andin the end hopeful Chinese Taipei came thirdin the tournament, winning bronze for the
second time.The rest of the teams who all made play-offs
were Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bra-zil, and China.
Apart from experiencing joy and disap-pointment, players also found it difficult say-ing goodbye as the tournament ended. Manyfriendships were formed, and Cape Townproved just how well they can host an inter-national event.
The closing ceremony was done in style,and the guests were yet again entertained –just as in the opening ceremony.
Limited Edition, a group of drummers,showed off their talents to the crowd, receiv-ing a standing ovation.
Beng Choo Low, International Softball Fed-eration Secretary General, thanked South Af-ricans and the people of Cape Town for theiroutstanding support, and praised NooreNacerodien, head of local organising commit-tee, along with his team for the efforts in mak-ing the ISF ninth JWWC Under 19 tourna-ment a success.
The tournament was also described as oneof the best by many coaches, and Nacerodiensaid that Softball South Africa will be biddingfor the 2016 Senior World Championship.
He wished the teams well and a safe jour-ney home.
