LOTUS RIVER

Dog knifed to deathCHEVON BOOYSEN

@ChevonBooysen

A family in Lotus River is distraught aft-er their beloved dog was stabbed todeath.

TheGreatDane, namedDonkie,waskilledby a man known to the family on Sunday 4January.According to Lee-Ann Adams, owner of

the eight-month-old dog,Donkiewas a lovea-ble and friendly dog.“Our dogwas stabbed to death seven times

with an Okapi knife. He did not deserve todie like that,” Adams says.The suspect, Antheo Moos, was charged

with cruelty to ananimal andwas taken intocustody. He has subsequently been releasedon bail.Recounting the day’s events, Adams says

a family friend, Tiaan Ross, had taken thedog for a walk.“He was taken on regular walks every day

and itwouldnormally be late afternoon.Peo-ple loved the dog andwhenever hewaswalk-ing in the street, they would stop us and askto take pictures of him,” Adams adds.On the day, Ross was walking the dog just

before 18:00 when he was approached byMoos.Ross says Moos threatened him, saying:

“Jy gaan sien wat maak ek met daai hond.”‘That afternoon when I walked Donkie,

Moos came out of his yard when he untiedhis two pitbulls. He intended for them tofight and when his two dogs attacked Donk-ie, he retaliated by wanting to bite back,”Ross says.“When Moos saw that Donkie was going

to bite back, he grabbed the leash of one ofhis dogs and started hitting Donkie in thehead. It was a thick and heavy leash he used,Ross says.Minutes later, Ross adds, Moos pulled out

a knife and started stabbing Donkie.“When he pulled out the knife I pulled

Donkie towards me so we could get away,but Moos had already started stabbing him.He stabbed the dog seven times,” Ross says.While Moos stabbed the dog, Ross says he

had no choice but to run away and leave thedog behind. “I tried to save Donkie by tug-ging at his leash to get away fromMoos, butI was unsuccessful. It looked as if this infuri-atedMoos. I then had to run formy own safe-ty because I was scared he might stab metoo,” says Ross, who is still shaken.Ross is now receiving counselling after

the incident. Adams saysMoos has a historyof animal abuse.A casewas reported to theGrassyParkPo-

lice Station and Moos was arrested, but wasreleased again, Adams explains.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Hookah: call for clarityMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

As the use of hookah pipes in restau-rants and other venues becomes morepopular, the City of Cape Town is lob-

bying for legislative clarity on the matter.According to a statement, the City will be

escalating its efforts this year for legislativeclarity on the wide array of “alternative”smoking devices and habits that have be-come commonplace in South Africa.

Tobacco ActBenedicta van Minnen, City Mayoral

Committee Member for Health, says earlierthis year the City solicited legal opinionfrom the national health department aboutthe use of electronic or e-cigarettes, but saysthis continues to be a grey area as there areno provisions for these items in the TobaccoControl Amendment Act.When it comes to the smoking of ciga-

rettes, Van Minnen says the legislation isvery clear and the City is seeking similarclarity onhookahpipes and e-cigarettes. “Inthe absence of legislation, there is nothingthat prevents establishments from ‘renting’hookah pipes to patrons or the pipes beingused in areas where smoking would other-wise not be allowed,” she explains.

HealthVan Minnen further highlights research

done on the effects of hookah pipe smoking.

She explains in the mostrecent study in America, itwas found that 39% of teen-agers and young adults whohad previously smokedhookah pipes went on tosmoke cigarettes. “Hookahpipes are very popular inCape Town, not just amongadults, but also children be-cause there is a perceptionthat the flavoured tobacco issomehow not harmful. To-bacco is tobacco, no matterwhat the flavour. We need tobe more mindful as a societyabout the burden we’re plac-ing on the healthcare sys-tem.”With high levels of respi-

ratory diseases such as tu-berculosis, VanMinnen saysauthorities have to make ev-ery effort to combat these.Officials from the City’s health depart-

ment have met with researchers from bothUCT and the UWC. “The consensus is thatwhile the research is not definitive, smok-ing hookah pipes is harmful to the healthof an individual. The researchers are alsoin agreement that nicotine remains one ofthe most addictive substances, especiallyfor young people,” says Van Minnen.

EffectsAccording to a fact sheet by the South Af-

rican Medical Research Council (MRC)smoke from a hookah pipe is not better thancigarette smoke because it passes throughwater. This is because, like cigarette smoke,hookah smoke contains poisons includingnicotine, tar, carbonmonoxide, arsenic andlead.The sheet covers a variety of topics in-

cluding the long-termhealth effects of smok-ing hookah. It says smoking hookah can beas addictive as cigarettes and the long-termeffects include cancers of the mouth, lungsand bladder or a heart attack.In addition the spread of other diseases

are often linked to smokinghookah as the pipe is sharedamong smokers.The sheet also outlines the

effects of secondary smokefrom a hookah pipe whichnon-smokers, in this in-stance, are exposed to.“Children whose parents

smoke hookahs are morelikely to have lung infectionsthan children whose parentsdo not,” it reads.

StudyAccording to a study con-

ducted by Professor AngelaMathee, who heads theMRC’s Environment andHealth Research Unit in five“deprived” areas in Johan-nesburg, high rates of hook-ah smoking were observed.

As part of the study, a survey was con-ducted with Grade 10 pupils from a nearbyschoolwhere itwas found that 60%of pupilshadusedorwere currently smokinghookahpipes. The results also indicate thatmost us-ers started smoking hookah pipes betweenthe ages of 13 and 15.The study also says a significant number

of users had reported usingmarijuana or al-cohol-based products along with the tobac-co. It highlights the need for nationwide re-search on the extent of hookah smoking inSouth Africa.Van Minnen says she will be raising the

issues with national health minister AaronMotsoaledi to push for legal clarity on theuse of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes soonerrather than later.“I am not necessarily pushing for a ban

on the devices, because to be fair there isnot definitive proof of their impact. But wedo need to close the legislative vacuumwhere these devices are concerned,” sheconcludes.V What are your thoughts on the use of Hookahpipes?

CHEVON BOOYSEN@ChevonBooysen

On her first day of school in 2002, shecouldn’t speak English.Today, she is amatriculant ofChrist-

el House Academy and speaks the languageeloquently and articulates herself withgrace.Andisiwe Sandlana matriculated top of

her 2014 class after obtaining a distinctionfor Business Studies and four B-symbols(70%-79%) in other subjects.An impressive 62% of matriculants from

Christel House received a university entrypass, up from 52% in 2013.Sandlana says the time during which she

wrote her exams was “stressful”.“But I am glad I made it through with the

results I strived for. I worked very hard toobtain these marks,” she says.Along with 44 other pupils in her grade,

Sandlana attended a special school bootcamp to receive academic tutoring and emo-tional support to matrics.The boot camp was the first of its kind at

the school and was facilitated at a farm inSchaapkraal.Sandlana says the boot camp definitely as-

sisted her during her exams.Ronald Fortune, principal at Christel

House Academy, says going the extra milemade the difference for pupils.“The idea to host the campwas borne after

social workers visited matrics at home andfound that almost half of the class had nodesks and chairs at which to sit. [We] thenhired a nearby farmhouse and converted thestables into dormitories for the girls, whilethe boys were accommodated in the school

hall,” Fortune says.Sandlana lauded her teachers for their

help during the exams.“It was a strenuous programme and we

were given a lot of help by our teachers. Attimes personalities clashed because you’rein a space with people you know but all ofa sudden it’s different becauseyou’re in eachothers’ faces all the time. But because I knewI wanted this really badly, I made the bestof the situation and remained focused,” shesays.Sandlana, who lives in Langa with her

family and extended family in a three-roomed home, jokes that being away fromhome for eight weeks was the “time of herlife”.“It was tough being away from home. I

have an amazing support structure at homeand they were rooting for me during thiscrucial time inmy schooling career. And forthis reason I really want to be there for myfamily and give them my best from here onout,” she adds.Christel House South Africa CEO Nicky

Sheridan says the school is a shining exam-ple of what can be achieved in education inSouth Africa.“But teachers, pupils and schools need the

support of corporations and big businessesso that we can continue to provide this kindof quality education. In this way we canmake a real difference in the lives of chil-dren from disadvantaged backgrounds, helpto train andupskill ouryoungpeople and thecommunities they come from,” says Sheri-dan.Sandlana has been accepted into UWC on

a full bursary where she will study towardsher Bachelors in Medical Bio-Science.

“I am very grateful for my journey at theacademy and will definitely miss all mymentorswho groomedme to become a better

person,” she says.“They stood by all of us to motivate us to

become more than our circumstances.”

Pupils at Kannemeyer Primary inGrassy Parkwill come back to an evenfriendlier space when they return to

school for the new year.A tranquillity garden has been estab-

lished at the school during the Decemberholidays and will be ready for use by pupilsand staff alikewhen they need space to copewith their individual stresses.Principal of Kannemeyer Primary, Rid-

waan Samsodien, says he couldn’t be happi-er to host the space at his school.“This idea was rooted many years ago

when I came to the school almost 13 yearsago. I recognised the need for a space wherechildren can go and find a place of solitudeand experience tranquillity.”Staff of Green Building Council SA

(GBCSA) traded their traditional end-of-year staff function to instead help create thetranquillity garden at the school.ReyanaNacerodien fromGBCSAsays the

staff who pitched in for the project decided

to “step out” of their commercial propertymarket and opted for a giving-back ap-proach instead of their usual year-end fes-tivities.“Instead of relaxing or partying with col-

leagues, we wanted to do something thathadmore longevity andwasmoremeaning-ful in terms of our greenmandate. The teamrolled up their sleeves and set out to createa tranquillity garden to be used at theschool,” Nacerodien says.Samsodien says the gardenwill be a place

where children can go so they may be edu-cated on how to care for something and tonurture a space that they want to go backto every day. “Of our pupils come from un-desirable home conditions and they come toschool with heavy burdens. That isn’t rightand for this reason we have the tranquillitygarden where pupils are given the opportu-nity to just unwind,” he says.Samsodien says 20 pupils will be tasked

with the maintenance of the garden underthe supervision of the Environment Clubteacher Gillian Walker.V Refer to page 6 for more pictures.

CHEVON BOOYSEN@ChevonBooysen

He refuses to move to another policestation as his loyalty lies with thecommunity of Grassy Park and staff

at the Grassy Park Police Station.After celebrating his 30 years of police

service on Thursday 1 January, WarrantOfficer Dirkie van der Merwe says he will“most probably retire at this station”.

Van der Merwe admits when he was giv-en options at which police station he couldwork, he had his reservations about work-ing Grassy Park at first.

“During that time theareawas extremelyrife in terms of crime.My colleagues wouldask me if I was sure I wanted to work hereand even I was in two minds.

“But today,” he says, “I wouldn’t ex-change it for any other station.”

Havingworked at the station for 21 years,Van der Merwe describes the journey as“interesting”.

“When I got to this station it was a verysmall building. I havebeenprivileged to seeit grow to what it is now.”

He started working at the station during1993 and says although it was daunting atfirst, he quickly adjusted to the communi-ty.

“The community was evenmore gang in-fested than what it is now. We had to usebulletproof vehicles to get into someareas,”he adds.

Van der Merwe says the highlight of hiscareer is the relationships hehas builtwiththe community.

“By nature I am somebody who likes tohelp other people when and where I can.

“Being able to do that at this station isan amazing experience.”

He recounts a day when an elderly wom-an came to the station for help.

“Thewoman came inhere and shewas ter-rified. I asked her what I could do to help.She told me she had never been into a po-lice station and she was afraid to talk tome.

“I assume it’s because of the connotationattached to it that if you’re at the police sta-tion it’s always for something bad,” addsVan der Merwe.

He then assisted thewomanwith her com-plaint and says at the end of the complaint,she was visibly relieved.

“She left here smiling and thanked meso many times before she left the build-

ing.“And that’s a gratifying experience every

time. When you’re able to help people youfeel great,” he says.

He adds he has been offered towork at oth-er police stations previously, but says he“won’t even consider it”.

“Grassy Park has become a part of me andI know for sure I will miss this place the mo-ment I leave. “And for that reason I plan toretire here,” he laughs.

The 48-year-old bachelor says he is alwaysasked by his colleagues when he plans tomarry and settle down. “I tell them I’mmar-

ried to my job,” Van der Merwe jokes.Grassy Park media spokesperson War-

rant Officer Wynita Kleinsmith says it hasbeen a pleasure working with Van der Mer-we. “I can’t remember a daywhere I sawhimangry or losing his temper at work. He is al-ways willing to help and a definite asset toour team at the station,” she says.

JANA VAN DER MERWE

The recent recommendation by the Cityof Cape Town’s Naming Committee torename Table Bay Boulevard after

former president FW de Klerk have sparkedheavy political debate.

The proposed renaming of Table Bay Bou-levard in honour of the former statesman in-itially received overwhelming support dur-ing a comprehensive and city-wide publicparticipation process in October 2014.

However, the ANC is taking a strongstance against the City of Cape Town’s planto honour De Klerk by renaming the Cape

Town highway after him.Zizi Kodwa, ANC national spokesperson,

says De Klerk, like Hendrik Verwoerd andmany other former presidents stood at theforefront of Apartheid.

Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu Western Capeprovincial secretary, strongly opposes theplan. He says even if it was a monkey stand-ing next to former president Nelson Man-dela, it would have received the Nobel PeacePrize.

Moeletsi Mbeki, political analyst, says DeKlerk has made a valuable contribution tohelp end Apartheid and should get recogni-tion.

The City recently announced that its nam-ing committee made the proposal because ofDe Klerk’s decisive role in South Africa’stransition to a democracy.

About 27 prominent Cape Town residentssupport the renaming, including PremierHelen Zille and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Kodwa says street renaming are meant topromote nation building, reconciliation anddemocracy.

“I’m not sure what the City’s reasons arefor wanting to name a street after the lastApartheid president. De Klerk was under in-ternational pressure. He did not free us. Thepeople freed themselves.”

Professor Hermann Giliomee, historianand former professor in political studies atUCT, says he supports the decision to re-name Table Bay Boulevard to FW de KlerkAvenue. “De Klerk took his political life inhis own hands as no one knew if there wouldbe majority support in favour of negotia-tions with the ANC,” says Giliomee.

In a statement Cosatu said De Klerk un-willingly gave blacks voting rights duringnegotiations, and that he was by accident thepresident of the NP in the history of thiscountry, who was pressured into negotia-tions with the ANC.– Translated from Die Burger

CAPRI

Invite to Run the RoodebergMONIQUE DUVAL

@monique_duval

In the early hours on Saturday 24 Janu-ary, walkers, runners and nature loversacross Cape Town will be preparing to

Run the Roodeberg. A bold campaign tohelp preserve and enjoy the mountainslopes behind Capri has taken shape.In January last year,WWFSouthAfrica,

the Table Mountain Fund and South Afri-can National Parks set out to obtain twopieces of privately owned land for incorpo-ration into the Table Mountain NationalPark (TMNP). They launched their cam-paign, called Restore the Roodeberg, andlobbied to raise R9.2m to acquire the re-maining properties on the northern sec-tion.In a statement issued in July, the conser-

vation bodies announced they had boughtthe 134ha property, one of the two piecesof land. Following this campaign, theCapri

Neighbourhood Watch launched the Runthe Roodeberg event.Watchmember Eric Riemann says along

with efforts to raise funds for the CapriCCTV camera project, the watch sought a

sustainable model to fund the project.They conceptualised the running event

which will see 250 participants take to thehiking trails to take in breathtaking viewsof the mountainscape and help raise funds

for the Restore the Roodeberg campaign.Riemann says the event will consist of

two trails of 16km and 6km respectively.According to their website, runners will

start the 16km race by crossing the foot-bridge that divides the Navy’s land fromTMNP, passing the Glencairn Stables andclimbing up to the top of Glencairn Pass.For the 6km race, runners will start at

the same point but after the 3km mark ittakes a left turn and rewards the runnerswith some fun fast flowing tracks.Riemann says participants pay R90 for

the 6km and R150 for the 16km; R50 of eachentrywill go towards the campaign.The re-mainder of the funds will cover operation-al costs and go towards the Capri Neigh-bourhood Watch. They plan to publish thefinancials to ensure transparency. “Theevent is about celebrating community col-laboration to help restore the Roodebergand improve safety of residents in Capri.”V Register on www.runtheroodeberg.co.za.

The Diving Unit of the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service is keeping up with thelatest trends after it recently added a new rescue rubber boat to its fleet. It will helpenhance their current capacity to deal with rescue operations in the water. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

City’s new rescue vesselFlooding and water rescue operations by theCity of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Servicehave been bolstered by the acquisition of anew hi-tech rubber boat worth almostR400 000.A City statement says this rubber boat will

help boost the response of its Diving Unit.The new boat has a 95F fuel tank and can fitsix crew members with their diving gear, aswell as multiple patients. It is also rigged todo resuscitation (CPR) on board.TheCity has amulti-functional emergency

response service that deals with a range ofincidents apart from fire suppression andprevention, including a group of 24 qualified

divers and 10 skippers.This year the City will boost the staff by

training an additional 10 divers and 10 skip-pers. The new boat adds to the unit’s fleet oftwo rubber ducks, three jet-skis and an alu-minium boat that is used on inland waterbodies and in flooding situations.JP Smith, of the City’s safety and security

directorate, says: “We have invested quiteheavily in our specialised services so that wecan offer the best possible service to our resi-dents.“This is but the latest example of our ef-

forts and shows our commitment to creatinga safer city.”

You can achieve your goalsMany of last year’s matriculants nowfind themselves in a situation wheretheir plans to study towards adegree thisyear were thwarted by marks whichdidn’t allow them to make the cut.But, says Dr Anne-Ka van den Hoek,

of a private higher education institution,there is still a way for those who remaindetermined to study towards a bache-lor’s degree. Such pupils can pursue ahigher certificate, whichwill allow themto take the next step without having torepeat their matric.She says a higher certificate is a great

option for these prospective students.Van denHoek says a higher certificate

in Business Principles and Practice, ahigher certificate in IT in Support Servi-ces or ahigher certificate inEventsMan-agement, for instance, will give studentsaccess to a BCom, a Bachelor of IT inBusiness Systems, or BA the year aftercompletion.“And the good news is that the higher

certificate is available to anyonewho on-ly achieved a higher certificate pass intheir National Senior Certificate,” shesays. “So you do not have to give up yourdegree dreams.”But, she points out, the key is to fully

engage with your higher certificate, sothat you can develop some of the keyskills youmay have been lacking that re-sulted in you not achieving a bachelor’spass to start with.Van den Hoek says it is important that

matriculants check that the institutionthey registerwith for ahigher certificatesupports all students with focused aca-demic literacy modules and a full-yearprogramme designed to bridge the gapbetween school and higher education.She says higher certificates have re-

placedmany foundation programmes, astheyprovide studentswithanopportuni-ty to gain a full qualificationwhile at thesame time mastering those essentialskills needed for higher education suc-

cess – broadly known as academic litera-cies.“These range from how to engage suc-

cessfullywith academicmaterial, to howto review information and present it ap-propriatelywith the level of synthesis re-quired for successful academic study,”she says.But, she warns, while all degrees at

public and private higher education in-stitutions are subject to the same qualityassurance requirements, they are not allalike.“Students should not only look at en-

trance requirements, but also at the cur-riculum and the alignment of that cur-riculum with their future career aspira-tions. This is particularly important forthose degrees that can be quite generic,such as a BCom or a BA.A focus on strategic management, for

instance, raises the bar on one’s study ofbusinessmanagement and differentiatesgraduates. And becoming a lawyer is notthe only career path to follow a degreewith a legal focus. The integration of le-gal subjects with business managementin a BCom degree forms a solid basis fora career in corporate governance or lead-ership, she says.“Corporate communication, on the

other hand, is an entire professionalfield that encompasses the traditionaldisciplines of communication andpublicrelations, but takes them to the level re-quired in the modern corporate worldthat includes stakeholdermanagement.”She says studentswhowerenot accept-

ed at the institution of their choice,didn’t gain a bachelor’s pass, or whoneed to strengthen their academic abili-ties before studying for a degree, will alldo well to consider the higher certificateroute. “It may take you a little longer toget there, but the experience and ulti-mate achievement will be well worth it,and will set you on the road to the careeryou’ve dreamed.”

TABLE MOUNTAIN

How to bike natural wondersMountain biking over the last few years

has become a popular recreational ac-tivity in the Table Mountain National

Park (TMNP).For the mountain biking enthusiasts or

those fairly new to the sport, here is whatyou need to know to enjoy mountain bikingin a national park.

The TMNP is governed by national legisla-tion under the National EnvironmentalManagement: Protected Areas Act (Nempa).It states that all activities must be regulatedby the management authority to protect en-dangered species, habitats and ecologicalsystems.

An Environmental Management Plan isalso developed for each activity in the park,including dog walking, mountain biking,horse riding and recreational fishing.

A rigorous stakeholder engagement proc-ess was followed and rules and regulationsfor each activity were decided upon.

Pricing and Law EnforcementA fee was calculated based on the current

SANParks Wild Card System and the rela-tive environmental impact of the particularactivity, excluding the biking trails.

Various national job creation pro-grammes provide funds to maintain the vast

mountain biking tracks available for everylevel of mountain biking.

Many of these tracks were developed withthe input and financial support of the majormountain biking associations that enjoy thepark.

The cost for mountain biking in the TMNPis R460 a year and includes unlimited accessto ride in this natural wonder and World Na-tional Heritage site.

Family cards for mountain biking will al-so be introduced soon.

To ensure and protect the natural assetsof the park for continuous enjoyment of itsrecreational activities, self-regulation

among user groups has become one of thepark’s law enforcement tools.

This has proved very effective and mostusers abide by the rules and regulations setout for their activity.

Trespassers of these codes will be prose-cuted.

Almost two million mountain users enjoya variety of activities per year.

Animals in circuses a cruel practiceA visit to the circus can be a magicalexperience, with human artists perform-ing wonderful feats. But when it comesto performing animals, sadly it is adifferent story.

Life under the big top is not thewholesome, fun-loving, educationalexperience the circus industry would likeyou to believe.

For the animals, life is a monotonousand brutal routine of boredom, stress andpain. In short, travelling animal actsperpetuate animal cruelty, inhumanecare, public safety hazards and distortedimages of wildlife and domestic animals.

Animals are not actors, spectacles toimprison and gawk at, or even circusclowns. Yet thousands of these animalsare forced to perform silly, confusingtricks under the threat of physicalpunishment.

They are carted across the country incramped and stuffy trailers, are keptchained or caged in barren, boringenclosures and separated from their own– all for the sake of ‘human entertain-ment’. Many of these animals even paywith their lives.

What we do not see is how theseanimals are trained and live behind thecircus ring. Circus animals are confinedvirtually all of their lives in barrenconditions, while forced to suffer extremephysical and psychological deprivation.

They spend virtually 96% of their livesin chains or cages.

They travel over long distances in box

carts with no climate control. They sleep,eat and defecate in the same cage.

When allowed out, these animals aretrained using extreme discipline methodssuch as whipping, hitting, poking andshocking them with electrical prods.

Wild animal acts also pose a significantthreat to public health and safety. Circuselephants may carry tuberculosis (TB),and can infect humans with the bacterialdisease. Public records show that manycircuses have used TB-positive elephantsin public performances. Local lawenforcement agencies may be forced todeal with an animal that have escaped.

Since the 1990s circuses have beenresponsible for many injuries to humansworldwide.

There was a time when a circus mayhave represented the only exposure achild had to a wild animal. Today ourchildren learn early in school andthrough programmes on TV that wildanimals live fascinating lives in theirnatural habitat, and have natural in-stincts developed over thousands ofyears. Performing in circuses goesagainst every natural instinct andconstitutes cruelty of the worst kind.

When kids see the negative messagescircuses send, it completely contradictsthese lessons.

The circus industry claims it onlytrains animals to do the types of tricksthey might naturally perform in the wild.In reality, animals in the wild live theirlives looking for food, sleeping or raising

their young.Costumed animals lying on their backs

spinning giant balls, tigers jumpingthrough flames, or elephants walking ontheir hind legs then balancing on theirheads, are not natural behaviour. Haveyou ever seen a wild elephant do that?

When circuses portray unnatural andinaccurate images of how wild animalslive and act in such an unrealisticcontext, this creates a greater disconnectbetween people and wild animals,promoting the notion that it is accepta-ble, even enjoyable, to exploit animals forentertainment.

Circuses perpetuate an outdatedattitude that wild animals are ours to useat any cost to their welfare – an attitudeanimal protection groups, wildlifeorganisations and zoos work tirelessly tocounteract through outreach and educa-tion. Many countries have banned thiscruelty and it is time we take a firmstand on it, too.

I and many other people do not thinkcircuses need to feature animals to beentertaining. We respect and admire thehuman performers, who work tirelesslyto perfect their art and I would buytickets to support them. However, it isthe animals in the circus that stop mefrom doing so.

I wonder how many animal lovers havestopped going to circuses and standoutside trying to stop this cruel practice.

Matrics need helpto boost resultsAs we start the 2015 school year, the 2014academic results will be the maindiscussion point in school staff rooms.

The inability to read, write andcalculate properly are the main reasonsusually given for poor academic perform-ance.

Reading, writing and mathematicalskills are no doubt the foundation ofadequate performance in school subjects.

At government schools the lack ofconcentration, parental support andintellectual capacity and potential, aswell as poverty, are often cited as theroot causes of these problems.

How do these schools, however, deter-mine the extent and severity of thesecauses? What percentage of those labelledas struggling pupils have been formallyassessed by relevant professionals toaccurately identify this and to, moreimportantly, successfully and concretelyassist such pupils?

The education department has supportteams consisting of social workers,

psychologists and more in every district.How adequate are these teams – in termsof the number of staff available to assiststruggling pupils in mainstream schoolsand the number of pupils they successful-ly assisted to improve their performance?

How many psychologists, for example,are available per number of pupils? Dothese teams include speech therapists,occupational therapists and other remedi-al teaching experts like we find atprivate schools? Is this in proportion tothe needs of our pupils and schools?GINO CONTALDI,Tafelsig

Lose weight. Quit smoking. Save money.These are some of the New Year’s resolutions that most

of us have tried (and failed) year in and year out.Maybe we should try a new resolution this year. Some-

thing less selfish, less concerned with how we look or ourbank balance.

Let 2015 be the year we resolve to care for each other.Let it be the year we resolve to take care of our commu-

nities.All too often we look to the police, council, religious or

community leaders to fix the problems on our doorstep.But the responsibility lies with each and every one of us.

Let’s resolve to be active citizens this year.Report service delivery problems to council as soon as

they take place. And if they are not fixed in a reasonabletime, escalate the complaint. Educate your neighboursnot to damage council property, as it not only delays ser-vice delivery, but also chews up funding that could beused to beautify your neighbourhood.

Let’s resolve to take pride in our homes.If each one of us cleans in front of our homes, the entire

street will be clean. Maintain your home to the best ofyour ability.Don’t standbyandwatchvandalism flourishin our neighbourhoods. Educate those around you aboutthe impacts of littering and dumping.

Let’s resolve to live on safer streets. Report crime – nomatterhowsmall – so that police canbuild accurate statis-tics and allocated resources more efficiently. Form aneighbourhood watch and work with your neighbours tokeep your suburb safe. Patrol your street and ask stran-gers why they are there and if you can assist them.

Our communities belong to us, and if each of us investsin them the returns have the potential to be enormous.

Let’s resolve to make ourselves happier, not by losingweight or quitting a habit, but by creating communitiesin which we feel safe and proud.

‘CHEESECAKE’ PIN-UP

Headed forLas VegasLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Withher bright blue hair and inspired fashi-on, Blaauwberg’s Gabbi Katz is challengingthe stereotypes around beauty.By day, Gabbi is a successful business wo-

man. But away from the workplace, she be-comesTheBlueHairedBetty, her pin-upmo-del persona. With a little help from her sup-porters,Gabihopes tobecome the first SouthAfrican to compete in the Viva Las VegasRockabilly Weekend international pin-upcontest in April.For Gabbi, being a pin-up girl is about a

whole lot more than pretty clothes and po-ses.She describes a modern-day pin-up girl as

a combination of old-school values and thestrong will and mind of a 21st century wo-man – prim and proper with a rebelliousstreak, which she believes is also an apt de-scription of herself.Gabbi made her first foray into the world

of pin-up modelling as a form of artistic ex-pressionwhen shemoved away from perfor-ming on stage.“The ‘cheesecake’ pin-up style of model-

ling fits my quirky and silly personalitywell,” she says.Having always led an alternative lifestyle

within the borders of being a “straight-and-narrow kinda girl”, Gabbi says pin-up mo-delling gave her a place where she felt shebelonged.Pin-up models go hand-in-hand with the

Rockabilly lifestyle, a perfect fit for the “bet-ty” who loves old-school rock ‘n roll music,fashion and the “style and class of this bygo-ne era”.Gabbi says she “truly got into it”when she

started posing for the Milnerton-based clot-hing label Miss Happ, and now she uses herposition in the pin-up community to promo-te the Rockabilly lifestyle and challenge peo-ple to “dare to be different”.She will be attending the Viva Las Vegas

Rockabilly Weekend as the brand ambassa-dor for the brand, who will be showing theirspring/summer range at the Viva Las VegasFashion Show.Since she was going to the festival any-

way, Gabi says she entered the pin-up con-test in a pure “why the heck not” moment.“I was absolutely amazed at the response

and support I received as soon as the an-nouncement of the public vote was made on5 January,” she says.In fact, she’s gained so much support that

she’s in the top six of over 100 contestants.Her goal now is to stay within the top six

during the competition’s public voting stageto guarantee her spot at the Miss Viva LasVegas Finale whichwill be hosted in Las Ve-gas on Saturday 4 April.Gabbi hopes to use the contest to create

awareness for the South African Rockabilly“scene” and to gain exposure for localbrands, bands and businesses.V Readers can help keep Gabbi in the running for thecontest by voting for her under the name The BlueHaired Betty at www.vivalasvegas.net/pin-up-contest.Voting closes on Saturday 31 January. Visit www.face-book.com/thebluehairedbetty for more informationabout Gabbi and her Rockabilly lifestyle.

Glenthorn wins 10 in a rowJOSEPH PILLAY

Though a bit rusty from the festive breakGlenthorn-Athlone returned to the ac-tion and Saturday and continued their

winning streak by beating VOB 17-3 in aWestern Province softball federation SuperLeague encounter at Turfhall Stadium.

WayneMay’sGlenthorn side sports an un-beaten record of ten victories on the trot.They have beaten Brian Lombard’s (coach)VOB side in three batting innings to capturetheir second victory over VOB in the secondround of the current season’s league cam-paign. Glenthorn dominated thematch fromthe opposition’s errors in the field and allround poor, inept performances in both thepitching and batting departments.

The valuable two pints secured from thisone-sided outing seesGlenthorn on 20 points– four ahead of second placed Falcons (16points) who have all played ten matches.

Nonetheless, VOB did not have enough ofa killer-instinct in their pitching attack.They started off with Meghan Fillmore andoccupied the mound for 2.2 of an innings.

Besides Fillmore being milked for eighthits, she also conceded eight base-on-ballswhile relief pitcher, Kara Dorrington, just

faced two batters and surrendered one hit toLisa Erasmus (1-3).

Therefore Glenthorn were able to scoretheir runs in just two frames – their first bat-ting turn yielded no runs, but in the secondand third they scored ten and seven respec-tively in two merry-go-round batting turnsthat totalled 17 runs and the demolition ofVOB within 90 minutes.

Carly Mulder, who smacked a three bag-ger over centre field topped the batting statswith 3-3, followed by Carla Swanepool (2-2),Danielle Fortune (1-1) and Nicole Fortune(1-2). Her sister, Lauren Mulder, led theGlenthorn attack on the rubber and al-though she just faced 17 batters in three in-nings, the latter earned three strike outswhile conceding five walks and one hit – asingle to Monique Fillmore (1-1).

* Westridge Yankees beat Tantasport 11-1.* St Martin’s beat Kenfac Phillies 11-5.

Meet SA’s first grandmasterIf Kenny Solomon (33) did notchoose to play chess, life couldhave been very different for him.This native of Mitchell’s Plain,

who now lives in Italy, was awardedthe title of chess grandmaster afterwinning the Africa individual chesschampionship in Namibia lastmonth.He is only the second grandmas-

ter in sub-Saharan Africa afterAmon Simutowe of Zambia and thevery first South African to havebeen awarded this honour.Determined to not become a sta-

tistic in a community where gangculture and drug abuse are rife, Sol-omon taught himself the game ofchess after reading a book aboutformer world champion AnatolyKarpov. Two years later, Solomonwon the national under-16 champi-onship.“I was exposed to gang culture

from an early age,” Solomon said. “Irealised that if I did not create myown future, I would merely becomea pawn in this scene, trapped in theviolent, oppressive cycle of gang-sterism. Strong family values andmy early interest in chess kept meaway from these influences andcompelledme tomake choices aboutmy fate.”Althoughhe currently lives in Ita-

lywherehe competes on theEurope-an circuit, Solomon always returnsto his home town, Mitchells Plain,to give back to the community andsharehis knowledge.Alongwith theDepartment of Cultural Affairs andSport (DCAS), Solomon has orga-nised various exhibitions in whichhe has both participated and taughtyouth about the game.“Kenny Solomon is a prime exam-

ple of the hero that we would likeour youth to look up to – someonewho makes the best of opportuni-ties, and who exceeds all expecta-tions,” said Theuns Botha, WesternCape Minister of Cultural Affairsand Sport.V Share your thoughts.
