Thirty-one years ago, a group of friends no-ticed that after fasting during the month ofRamadaan, their neighbours, whom theysawand spoke to every day, did not have foodon the day of Eid al-Fitr.When they saw this need in the communi-
ty, theydecided the followingyear, on the eveof Eid al-Fitr in 1984, to cook two pots of foodfor their neighbours.This grew into the organisation Nakhli-
stan, which has become a beacon of hope forthe needy in the Western Cape. The youth ofthe ’80s, who saw their parents give to Nakh-listan, arenowas adults giving toNakhlistantoo.“Nakhlistan” is a Persianword thatmeans
“an oasis”. Just like an oasis provides suste-nance in the desert, the organisation helpsthe less fortunate through soup kitchens,feeding schemes, ramadaan fitrah parcels,Iftaar (breaking of the fast) to the underprivi-leged, monthly necessities distributed toneedy families and the Eid al-Fitr feedingscheme.On Eid al-Fitr last year over 85 000 cooked
mealswere given directly to underprivilegedpeople. This year, Nakhlistan aims to cook165 pots of akni to feed over 80 000 on the dayof Eid al-Fitr, which this year, depending onthe sighting of the moon, falls on MandelaDay.This feat requires four tons of meat and
two tons of potatoes alone. Each pot costs al-most R3000 and will feed more than 350 peo-ple.Nakhlistan is not state-funded and is solely
dependent on financial support from thecommunity.V For more information visit www.nakhlistan.org.za orNakhlistan on Facebook.

‘Beautiful thingsfelt by the heart’TIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
When you encounter someone who isblind you tend to wonder how he car-
ries out his day-to-day duties.Theblind and thevisually impaired at the
Cape Town Society for the Blind (CTSB) inSalt River say they live in a normal worldand do everything another person can do.
Founded more than 36 years ago, theCTSB is a place of opportunity and hope.The members say nothing is difficult forthem as they can do everything.
This is why the Society also runs skillsproject to keep themembers going, as beau-tiful things are not seen by the eyes but feltby the heart.
Though they are visually impaired thesepeople do amazing things with their hands.They sell these items to keep the organisa-tion running and to make sure that eventhey can be independent, self-sufficient andempowered members of our society.
Sedick Jordan, a visually impaired publicawareness officer at the CTSB, says whensomeone first comes to the Society they looklost and they are always looking down, butthat changes as soon as they know their sur-roundings. “We really unleash the potentialin someone. Some come here confused andthey don’t know what to do because at one
moment they could see and the next theycan’t, sowe help themdeal with that drasticchange. Here we promote self-dependence,making sure that they domost of the thingsfor themselves all the time,” he says.
The Society runs various activities, likesewing, weaving and cooking.
Jordan adds that some members couldn’tcook for themselveswhen they got there butnow they have become the best cooks.
“We just want those that are visually im-paired to be able to do basically everythingfor themselves. Some never cooked but I’mglad that by coming here they learn everyday and they can cook for themselves.”
Layton Phillips, who is visually im-paired, doesweaving at the Society. He sayshe is glad that he came to the CTSB.
“They have enriched my skills and mademe realise I have potential. I love what I doand when people see what we do they areso surprised because they think the blindor visually impaired must be helped all thetime.Herewe learn to do things on our own.Itmakes us feel happybecausewe are livingnormal lives just like any other person outthere. We are empowered and made to be-lieve in our selves. People shouldn’t treat usany less because we can’t see like they do.We are capable of a lot of things. This isshown by the products that we make,” hesays.

“People don’t get it. This is the future ofour kids. We are asking the police to helpher a lot. The things that are stolen aresold around here and we want cops to gosearch becauseweknow the culprits. Thejustice system is failing us because nomatterwhatwe do the perpetrators neverget arrested and they continue to cause
more problems in our community,” saysDaniels.Hendricks is now in need of donations
of anykind to keepher business going aft-er the burglary. She also want help withbuilding materials to build a new crèche.Those who want to donate can call her on076 835 9331.

Teaching passionstretches decadesTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Dulcie Jacobs celebrated her eightiethbirthday on Saturday last week and she
says she still has the strength to go to classand help primary school children.She says educated children mean a better
country. That is why, even though she re-tired 20 years ago, she still goes to DrydenPrimary School in Salt River.She is affectionately known as Aunty Dul-
cie at the school as she is the oldest of anyoneat the school. She teaches English.Having been a teacher for the past 63
years, she believes children must be educat-ed and their teachers must know their chal-lenges.She says it’s fun working with children.
It makes her happy to see them succeed.Aunty Dulcie says she went back to teach atDryden Primary School as it’s close to herheart. She taught at the school for 28 years.“I love working with kids. Helping them
read and understand makes me complete. Isleep better at night knowing that I havechanged someone’s life,” she says.
Aunty Dulcie believes the problem nowa-days is that teachers are not giving childrenthe attention they need.“Most teachers don’t take time to under-
stand their pupils. The problem that one isgoing through is not the same with the nextone. These kids come with a lot of baggageand it’s our duty as teachers to understandand help. If teachers pay attention to theirkids it will be a better thing because theywill teach with understanding. I love chil-dren and Imake sure that I understand theirproblems,” she says. Walking around theclass, she says she is proudof changing lives.“English is a very strange language and
in this school we have kids who have En-glish as their third language, so it’s not easyfor them. That’s where I step in,” she says.Vice-principal Cedric Joubert says Aunty
Dulcie is a hard-working personwho is verypassionate about what she does.“She never stops working. She is so elo-
quent and teaches with so much love. Sheis an epitome of courage, strength and greatservice. We have a good rolemodel and weare glad that we can all learn from her,” hesays.
Dulcie “AuntyDulcie” Jacobs(80) reads astory to pupilsin her class atDrydenPrimarySchool. Shehas beenteaching for63 years.

Yew Street in Salt River came back to lifeas the Yew Street market was back on thestreet on Saturday after its permit was re-is-sued.The market had its permit withdrawn by
theCity ofCapeTownas the organiserswerepreparing for the second market, leavingtraders stranded. The City said at the timethat the permit was withdrawn because ofobjections received from residents and busi-nesses in the area after the first market washeld. There were issues such as the marketcausing an obstruction, access concerns,road closures and the lack of consultationprior to the market being held, as reportedpreviously inPeople’s Post (“Stalling atmar-ket”, 16 June).Thereafter the event organiser had to get
signatures of residents that were in supportof the market. Market organiser Kim vanLingen says she did all that and filed all thenecessary paperwork as she believed themarket was a worthy cause.This then led to themarket’s permit being
re-issued. Van Lingen says the permit willbe issued on a weekly basis to allow the Cityto deal with any complaints that may arise.Despite that Van Lingen says no words
can describe how she feels that people areback on the street again selling to put food
on the table for their families.“I’m so happy.When I look at all these peo-
ple my heart just bubbles with joy and I’mvery thankful to the people that reallyhelped to make sure that we are back on. Itwasn’t easy but I’m gladwe are here.Wewillmake it work because I believe this is breadand butter for the people in our area,” shesays.Part of the agreement to have the market
running was to keep Main and Hopkinsroads open. Van Lingen believes that morespace would have been better but they hadto compromise.“Traders don’t have a place to sell their
goods. This has become a source of hope fora lot of people. That’s why I had to fight sothat we can get the permit re-issued so thatall these people have a place to trade.Havingthe permit be issued on a weekly basis ismaking me nervous because anything canhappen. However, I’m glad all seems to bein order,” she says.Therewereabout 50 stalls that filledup the
streets with different items on Saturday.One of the traders, GrahamButon, says he
believes in the market.“It can only get better. It possesses so
much potential. It has a good vibe and it’simportant that people make money. Theyput in all the hard work and they can havemeans to put food on the table and this is it,”says Buton.

UCT
Half a centuryand not outTIYESE JERANJI
@jeranji
Harry Fisher (65) was awardedwith a cer-tificate of 50 years of service at the Uni-
versity ofCapeTown traffic department lastweek.As a traffic supervisor at the UCT depart-
ment of traffic things didn’t start offsmoothly for him. Looking back downhe re-membershowhehad to act like anadult andfill his father’s shoes to be the breadwinnerat the age of 15.His father had become very ill and, being
the eldest of the four children, he had todrop out of school in Grade 8 and startworking so thathe could support the family.This was after his father lost his job due tobeing hospitalised.“It wasn’t easy leaving school at that age
and I wasn’t used to working,” the father ofthree says. “However, I had to do what’sbest for my family, because my fathercouldn’t work anymore. I just needed towork so that I could put food on the tablebecause my father was so ill. I was youngbut it had to be done.”Through the help of his uncle he got a job
as a gardener at UCT. Fisher says this is adecision that he will never regret.“I had to be theman formy family. I don’t
regret it and I’m so happy that I did whatI did for my family. This is a lesson that Iwill gladly pass on to my children becauseI believe family is very important. I had tostep up to the occasion and I’m glad it paid
off,” says Fischer.Working diligently, he found himself
climbing the ladder of success. He says asgardeners they were outsourced and he re-members being at home for a week and get-ting a call to come see the manager at thetraffic department.“I went there and I got another job as a
traffic officer. In time I was promoted to bea traffic supervisor. This is something thatI never thought I would achieve but I’mglad. I’m humbled by the recognition. I con-tinue to work hard no matter what circum-stances I face,” he says.He says if he had time he would complete
his studies but hiswork schedule is so tight,leaving very little time to go back and learn.“I’m happy where I am, but I would like
to take off where I left but time doesn’t al-low. I read books more often to learn aboutdifferent things,” he says.Andre Theys, the executive director of
UCT properties and services (the divisionunder which traffic falls), says he hasknown Harry for over 10 years and he isboth a great person and employee.

The deputy principal of Dryden PrimarySchool is visiting Hull, United Kingdom

lot from this school to participate in theAfriTwin initiative. He will be visiting Pens-hurst Primary School, which is the schoolDryden is paired with. The first group ofteachers went in 2013.Afri Twin encourages relationships be-

because he is passionate about teaching, sohe wants to go and learn how things aredone abroad so that he can come help hiscountry and his school. He says this is whathe has also wanted to do since college.“I’m looking forward to the trip as it’s an
opportunity to learn from others. I want tosee howbig their classes are. I want to knowtheir challenges and how they deal withthem andwe exchange teachingmethods sothatwe produce good pupils thatwill be bet-ter citizens. I’m having sleepless nights butthis is something that I like so I’m lookingforward to every minute there. I just wantto see the differences in terms of learningfor the two countries and how we can im-prove our own education system,” he says.Specific global themes, such as using wa-
ter optimally and saving electricity, will al-so come under discussion.
He added that Dryden has to deal withmany challenges, like accommodating pu-pils who come from far townships as wellas out of the country.Hewants to see abroadif they have the same challenge.He is also happy that the trip will create
opportunities.“This will give everyone a good under-
standing of the two countries as well, be-cause I will share our culture and how wedo things, how things run and what we cando to improve.When I come back Iwill com-pile a report to share what I will have gath-ered for the benefit of everyone so that webring positive results and relationshipsamongst different citizens,” said Joubert.

6 characters turning40 in 70 minutesLocal actress Anushka Life returns to the
Galloway Theatre this July in the Afri-kaans comedy drama Veertig.The Stellenbosch Universi-
ty Drama graduate was apart-time student at the Wa-terfront Theatre School, thehome of the Galloway Thea-tre, in 2007 and 2008 whereshe won the London TrinityCollege award for drama stu-dent of the year in 2007.When she steps back onto
the Galloway stage this timeround, she’ll be starring as ahost of quirky characters inJacques (J.J.) Brits’s one-hander.“It scared me at first,” An-
ushka says of the piece. Jac-ques had approached her tobe a part of it while the pro-duction was still being writ-ten.“It was a seventy-minute play revolving
around main character Lorette, an ex-tremely fragile womanwhowas to turn for-ty on the day.”Anushka says the script was “something
different” right from the beginning and the
experience of playing six different charac-ters was a first.“I’ve always shared the stage. Suddenly
I’m the only person on it,” shesays. But as she grew familiarwith the plot Anushka sawherself bringing the very dif-ferent personalities to life,seeing a little of herself in allof them.“It’s what he does, Jacques;
he turns fiction into realityand never fails to surprisewith his perfectly timedtwists.”Veertig made its debut in
Melkbos earlier this year andthe team behind it, Anushka,Jacques and Small RoomPro-ductions, hope to tour theshow.When she isn’t playing the
six characters of the show,Anushka is a teacher at Boston PrivateSchool in Bellville. But with a string of act-ing credits behind her name, she isn’t near-ly done with the stage.V Veertig will be staged at the Galloway Theatre fromWednesday to Saturday.

Since Saturday is the fourth of July, themeeting at Killarney is celebrating theUnited States’ Independence Day with
a unique American-themed package com-bining all the razzmatazz of Yankee tanks,Ford Mustangs, chrome-bedecked HarleyDavidsons, the Star-spangled Banner andBilly Joel’s “She’s a rocket on the Fourth ofJuly”.
Up close and dangerousThe fifth round of the power series is spon-
sored by Wingfield Motors.As far as the racing is concerned, the all
American one-make V8 masters category,with cars that were unashamedly based onthe Ford Mustang of the time before beingredesigned for the track and built by OwenAshley in his factory/workshop at Killar-ney, will take pride of place.
Powered by modified V8 engines that pro-duce 325kW of power at the rear wheels, anddriven by superstars like multiple formerSouth African superkart champion MarcelAngel, sometime supercar titleholder Rich-ard Schreuder, Craig Jarvis, Fabio Tafaniand Franco Donadio, the racing is almost al-ways dangerously close and in-your-face.
With reigning Formula Supercar champi-on Nick Adcock possibly in absentia, thedoor in this category could open for theyoung Dayne Angel, who has been in fineform recently. Others to watch include BradWadeley, Andrew Moffitt and Gareth Eas-om.
But the biggest entry and some of the bestracing can be expected in the Midas club-man events from frontrunners like spectac-ular Danie van Niekerk in his Wingfieldbeemer, Nieyaaz Modack (BMW), Jesse Hug-gett (VW Jetta) and André Johnson (AudiQuattro).
Then, with motor racing appealing to driv-ers and riders of all ages, the rookie to watchis going to be 15-year-old Joshua Dolinschekin the Formula Libre single-seater class.Joshua was impressive as he dominated thefirst two rounds in which he competed earli-er this season. However, he was beaten con-vincingly by Julian van der Watt in a morepowerful car at the most recent meeting. Itwill be interesting to see how he fares on Sat-urday.
Family timeAt the other end of the scale, popular 54-
year-old Danie “Van Killarney” Maritz is aveteran motorcyclist currently astride thesame GSX-R750 Suzuki that carried him tovictory in the 1987 Western Province cham-pionship. Incredibly, this super-fit rider islapping even faster now than he did morethan 28 years ago.
Aimed at the entire family, the day is alsogoing to include a breakfast run for street-le-gal motorcycles, a kiddies playgroundmanned by minders and an American-stylehotdog eating contest in the clubhouse.There are 18 races for cars and motorcycleson the programme, the first of which is dueafter final practice and qualifying sessionsat 10:00.
