Five boys from Epping Forest took advan- tage of the warm weather on Sunday to swim at the Black River mouth near Paarden Ei- land, but only three returned. At the time of going to press the search for the bodies of Ridge Reed and Vernon Dar- ries, both 13, was still continuing. The two were with twins Dane and Dylan Seppie (14) and Mogamat Davids (14). The boys found a makeshift raft made of barrels under the bridge near the river mouth and started playing on it. It appears that the flow of the river pulled them out to sea and they jumped off in an attempt to swim to shore but only three made it to safety. The Table Bay National Sea Rescue Insti- tute (NSRI) received the call at about 16:00 informing them the boys had been swept in- to the sea and rescue operation started im- mediately. As the family is still coming to terms with the tragedy, it seems that it could have been avoided. Debris trap According to Paarden Eiland City Im- provement District manager Patricia Tal- lant, a debris trap near the mouth of the ca- nal might have prevented the calamity. These nets are spanned from one side of the canal to the other and stops debris from washing into the sea or up the canal. Ward councillor Bernadette le Roux says, however, that the trap was designed for de- bris, and not for people to hang on to, thus may not have helped the boys. About two weeks ago the City of Cape Town installed a debris trap between Ma- rine Drive and the Bus Rapid Transport bridge, but one of the steel rods were stolen “almost overnight”, according to Tallant. Another one was apparently also stolen re- cently, so the debris trap is ineffective. According to Pat van Eyssen, the local NSRI station commander, a security guard spotted the children playing in the water un- der the Marine Drive bridge, and later no- ticed them being swept into the sea. It is unclear whether the floating barge of barrels they were on came from higher up in the canal. If so, the the debris trap might have played a part in preventing the tragedy. Van Eyssen says the origin of the barge will form part of the investigation. “The kids shouldn’t have been there in the first place,” says Tallant, before adding the public are generally ignorant when it comes to the canal. “At least twice a month our patrolmen must warn a child not to swim in there. In the summer people swim in there almost every day! None of them seem to realise how rough the water is when the tide comes in,” she says. The canal is also often used for fish- ing or as an escape route for criminals. Tallant adds that “scrap merchants” regu- larly go into the canal to remove items they can use. Search and rescue “Maybe the canal should be fenced off, but that will be expensive,” she says. A fence might have prevented the Elsies River boys from entering the canal in the first place. “It’s a pity we have to wait for tragedy to strike before we focus on these type of meas- ures,” she concludes. On Sunday the NSRI’s volunteer sea res- cue duty crew launched a sea rescue craft and sea rescue vehicle when they received the call. Provincial government EMS and rescue, the Red Cross AMS Skymed rescue helicop- ter, police, a police diving unit, Cape Town Fire and Rescue Services, Cape Town Fire and Rescue divers, Life Care Paramedic Re- sponse and ER24 ambulance services re- sponded. “The three survivors were transported to hospital by EMS ambulance in a stable con- dition for observation for secondary drown- ing and they were accompanied by police and police trauma counsellors,” van Eyssen says. Despite an extensive sea, air and shore search, no sign of the two missing children have been found and police are continuing an ongoing search.

ComArt in Elsies River will be part ofcommunity organisations being hon-oured for contributing to cultural ac-
tivities in their community.Artscape is hosting a collection of cele-
bratory events to honour three organisa-tions for their service to the community.“We are recognising the work of these or-
ganisations for their unrelenting commit-ment to giving back to their communities,often overcoming many challenges toachieve great things,” says Marlene leRoux, Director of Artscape’s Audience De-velopment and Education department.“As we mark twenty years of democracy,
it is a fitting time to honour Cecil Jacobsfor his five decades of service, teachingdance to underprivileged youth, also Pro-fessor Virginia and John Davids, foundersof ComArt, for their work using arts andheritage as drivers of social change.“In October, we will also celebrate the
EZETHU Cultural Ensemble, which is aninter-generational performing groupwhosemainaim is topromoteAfricanarts andcul-ture.”
Social changeTheir work has laid foundations for
meaningful social change and developmentin the future, Le Roux said.On Sunday 17 August, the Cecil Jacobs

ible journey and it has been a pleasure toprovide opportunities to young people that
nurture and develop their talent,” saysCecil Jacobs.“If youth are not exposed to different op-
tions and broader horizons, they can be-come lost and directionless. Throughdance, I have been able to help build theirconfidence and give them a purpose.“From the dance classes I started in my
dining roomat the age of 14, we have alwaysovercome obstacles and I am proud to saymany of my students have gone on to danceprofessionally nationally and internation-ally to great success, and they always comeback to say hello!”
Belief in the arts“Virginia and I established ComArt with
our professional experience, music con-tacts, our belief in the arts as a vehicle forsocial change, and our commitment to cre-ate opportunities for local residents to ex-pand their range of choices and improvetheir quality of life,” says John Davids, Ex-ecutive Director of ComArt.“The ComArt Choristers have played a
meaningful role in keeping choral musicalive in Elsies River and have had the privi-lege of performing all over the country.“With support from strategic partners,

While Vanessa Coetzee may have beenteaching in theUnitedArabEmirates for thepast few years, she has never forgotten thatbackhome inElsiesRiver there are childrenwho brave the Cape winter without shoes.Since starting to teach at the Maryam Bin
SultanHigh School for Girls a few years ago,she realised she wanted her learners to beaware of the difficulties some children inother parts of the world face.“Each year the grade 11 girls have to do
a community related project and I took achance by putting forward my idea of help-ing the kids at Elnor Primary to them,” shesays.“Luckily forme since that first time about
three years ago it has nowbecome an annualproject, and the interest is just growing.”Vanessa quickly pointed out that the Ty-
gerburger also became part of the learningprocess in her class.“When the paper ran the story about the
project last year I took it with me and it cre-ated a lot of excitement among the girls.“Last year we helped about 50 children,
this year it has grown to 78,” she smiles.Another special part of this project is that
there is also a local partnership from herfamily.“I am so grateful for the people who care
in our community,” she says.“When I startedmybrother-in-law tookup
the challenge as well and said that for everyshoe that I provide he will sponsor a jerseyandhehasbeen true tohisword everyyear.”

I have been in your fair cityfor just over a year. CapeTown is a rainbow nation – inthis city even the traffic robotsdon’t have colour segregation.No matter the colour – red,yellow or green – all robots aregreen to go through as fast aspossible, even with crossingtraffic.
What also amazes me is thatvehicles don’t seem to have tohave a set of two headlights ortail lights at night, whichseems to be acceptable to thetraffic and police officers, as Ihave even seen a couple ofthese with only one light. Itsometimes gives me theimpression there is a motorcy-cle approaching or I amcoming up to one. So obviouslyyou don’t need a core for avehicle here, even newermodels.

I would just like to reinforceDebora’s letter “Owners shouldkeep dogs on the leash”(TygerBurger, 30 July).
I also walk my dog on theleash on the fields betweenRacecourse Road and St John’sRoad. Almost everyday, I amconfronted with dogs off-leash.Sometimes 4x4s unload asmany as four or five dogs,large and small, and just letthem run.
I would consider this numbera “pack”, which could be verydangerous if they were toattack another dog on a leash.
It is a real danger, not onlyfor dog walkers, but also forpeople walking for enjoyment.The Animal Bylaw of 2010states: “It is illegal to havedogs in a public space or streetunless on a leash or in adesignated area”.
It would be great to have
Unleashed dogs amenace to walkers
this law obeyed. When I ap-proached any of the ownerswho are guilty of disobeying thelaw, I either get a “mind yourown business” or “I’ll just pay afine”. How irresponsible is that?

It must be a year or two agothat we noticed a recyclingdrive was coming to one of thesuburbs near or next to Bel-lville, but nothing else seems tohave happened since then.
I’m wondering when thisrecycling drive will come to oursuburb.
I understand something likethis costs money to start up,but surely it pays for itself inthe end?
Also, why doesn’t someoneconsider training some of thehomeless people – those whoalready collect recyclablematerial – to collect recyclingprofessionally.
Train them on what can andcannot be recycled and providethem with business skills sothat it can become a full-timejob for them (if they so wish).That way they get off thestreets and back into societyagain, and it helps lower theunemployment rate in ourcountry at the same time.
I hope someone can use thisidea and put it to good use.

Whatever happenedto recycling idea?
Ai, Virgo, ek dink jy is dieoplossing vir die klomp wat jyonder die brug gesien het najou vakansie in Florida (“See-king ways to help the home-less”, TygerBurger, 6 Augustus).
Laat hulle almal by jou intrekin jou woning waar jou hondbeter lewe, deel kondome uit enleer hulle van gesinsbeplanningof sorg oor ’n jaar of wat vir
120 van hulle.Aanteel en in rye staan by
sopkombuise, wat soos padda-stoele opskiet, is nie ’n oplos-sing nie. Die wêreld se onder-gang is juis die spoed waarteendaar aangeteel word.
Stop alle kindertoelaes aanongetroudes en wettig net eenkindertoelaag vir getroudes.
Word wakker, ons aarde kannet soveel bekostig.

Ek wil baie dankie sê aansuster Isobel Coetzee van TheCaring Network in BishopLavis en Wendy, Berry en dieres van die tuisversorgers virhul bydrae in ons gemeenskap.
Die tipe werk wat hulle doen,soos om ons bejaardes, siekesen mense met wonde te ver-sorg, is nie ’n maklike taak nie.
Selfs op reënerige dae sien ekhoe getrou hulle hul besoekesteeds aflê.
Soms sien ’n mens nie julleharde werk raak nie of jullevoel dalk dat dit nie waardeerword nie, maar wees versekerdat dit nie by God ongesiens salgaan nie.
Hou so aan, moenie moedopgee en julle sal geseënd bly.Baie dankie aan jul almal.

LEWENSKIEKIE
Liegtery oorkwalifikasies:Wat sê dit?Die nuus dat Pallo Jordan, geweseminister en ANC-intellektuele, al die jareoor sy “doktorsgraad” gelieg het, volgkort op die hakke van vele ander leiersin die SA samelewing wat ook hulkwalifikasies beter “gedokter” het sonderdat hulle die papiere daarvoor kan wys.
Dink maar net aan ons grootbaas vandie SAUK, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, watonbeskaamd oor sy “matriek-kwalifika-sie”gejok het.
Watter boodskap dra dié leiers oor aandie land, sy mense en veral die jeug?
Is dit dat geleerdheid oorbodig is? Datdit net ’n verkwisting van geld en tyd isom te wil studeer? Dat eerlikheid enintegriteit nie werklik saakmaak wanneerjy vir ’n pos aansoek doen nie? Dat diteerder is wie jy ken wat deurslaggewendis om ’n hoë posisie te beklee?
As ’n mens in die media sien hoe diésondaars deur die regering verdedigword, wil dit so voorkom. Moenie dat diewaarheid jou indrukwekkende CVverongeluk nie, is die onderliggendeboodskap.
Dat Pallo Jordan besluit het om uit syamp as ANC-LP te bedank, is daremprysenswaardig. Die vraag is net: Sou hybedank het as die leuen oor sy doktors-kwalifikasie nooit uitgekom het nie? Ditword betwyfel.
As ons ’n land gaan word waar onge-kwalifiseerde leuenaars hoë posisies indie samelewing gaan beklee en daarmeewegkom, is ons vinnig op pad na Piesang-republiek-status.
Dit is ’n feit soos ’n koei.

SMSV Referring to the letter from Debora regarding owners walking unleashed dogs,I can only but agree (“TB letters, 30 July).She made mention of a woman walkingtwo large dogs without a leash. These bigdogs are Great Danes. If this isn’t badenough, she briskly walks them in peakhour, too. What about those poor pedestrians who have to walk past them to getto their workplace? I’m utterly disgustedat her disregard for others and the livesof other leashed dogs. Gina, Vygeboom
V Regarding “Internet craze can turndeadly” (TB, 6 August). We should encourage such activities as setting oneselfon fire or hanging oneself for entertainment purposes on YouTube.

cated their participation, but in body-building you only know who will competecome weigh-in time.“If you look at the great number of ath-
letes we had at the SSN Cape Classic andBattle of the Titans II, I am really excitedabout the athleteswe are expecting to com-pete. This is our last show of the year be-fore nationals, and the athletes are alwaysbringing their best physiques to the stagewith thehopeof being in theWesternProv-ince team,” said Western Province chair-man, Kevin Schwartz.Athletes competing will pay R100 if they

the finals of the 2014 Engen Knockout Chal-lenge kick-off.And the 16 u-17 teams who will vie for the
spoils and bragging rights are readyingthemselves to fulfil their dream of beingcrowned Cape Town champions. For thefirst time, the winners will show their mus-cle against the other regional Engen Knock-out Challengewinners at the EngenChampsof Champs in Soweto in October.The Cape Town tournament, of whichPeo-
ple’s Post is the print media sponsor, will beheld at the Stephan Reagan Sports Complexin Westridge, Mitchell’s Plain from Friday22 to Sunday 24August. A total of 48matcheswill be played over the three days.Group A has defending champs Ajax Cape
Town, All Stars Youth Football Develop-ment,HellenicFCandOldMutualAcademy.The Urban Warriors will more than likely
end at the top of the group. Pinelands’ OldMutual will probably end second but willface tough opposition. This group has beenlabelled the dreaded “group of death”.In Group B, last year’s runner’s-up ASD
Cape Town are likely to finish on top butwill bewaryofGrassyPark’sMilanoUnited,Atlantic Nacional and debutants WesternCape Sports School.Hosts Santos FC will look to win Group C,
butwill face stiff competition fromMitchellsPlain’s Liverpool-Portland, Glendene FCand Blue Downs FC.Group D offers the best prospect for min-
nows to advance to the championshiprounds, despite the presence of PSL sideChippa United. The Philippi side have beensomewhat mediocre in the tournament inthe past, which should open the way forgroup victory challenges from Pinelands’JMI Academy, Hanover Park United andCrusaders FC from Grassy Park.Matches on the Friday kick-off at 16:00 and
