RONDEVLEI
At 91, in own homeCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
“An absolute dream come true!”These are the words of a first-
time homeowner after receivingthe keys to her own house this month.At 91, the ailing Sarah Sass is the eldest
recipient of a house in the Rondevlei hous-ing project.Sass says she has always dreamt of own-
ing her own home and finally she can “sleepsoundly”.Karen Doralingo, herself a former Cuba
Heights resident who has relocated to theRondevlei project, assisted in locating Sass.Sass’ most recent contact details were notcaptured on the housing database. Doralin-go says tracing Sass resulted in delays.“We managed to get a contact number for
her neighbour and in this way we could goto Sass.“Little did we know that on the day we
took her documentation for her to sign, itwas her birthday,” Doralingo says.Sass says this was “the best birthday gift”.She sits comfortably in her new lounge as
she lightheartedly tells the story of her jour-ney to becoming a homeowner.“I can’t believe I am finally in my own
house. I feel unbelievably happy and soproud to call this my own place,” she says.Sass explains she almost gave up hope of
owning her own house before she leaves forthe hereafter.“I was on the waiting list for 35 years and
eventually I just gave up hope that I wouldever own my own house. Now it has finallymaterialised and I couldn’t behappier,” Sassbeams.She explains she lived inGrassyParkwith
her brother for many years. While livingwith him she had to make a monthly contri-bution of R120.“For me that is a lot of money because I
amapensioner, but now I can save thatmon-ey and plough it into my own home. I willno longer be paying for goods at another per-
son’s place because the money saved will beused for my own,” she laughs.Sass has suffered two strokes in recent
years and the results of this was the numb-ing of the entire left side of her body.“I can’t really do anything for myself any-
more. My daughter is looking after me andshe has moved with me to the new home tosee that my health is taken care of.”She adds it gets frustrating when she has
to depend on others for help.
The privilege of cleaning her own househas somewhat been taken away. “I could doeverything onmyownbutnow Ihave towaiton people to do it for me. Sometimes whenthe children clean around here I get so frus-trated because they don’t do it as I would,”Sass chuckles.Despite all the challenges which have
come her way, Sass is “grateful” she is ableto spend her last few years in her own home.She is the mother of 10 children, of whom
five are still alive, and “too many grandchil-dren and great grandchildren”.“My family is so happy for me as well.
They knew how long I was waiting for ahouse. Now they are wearing outmy thresh-old as I get daily visits from all of them.”Asked about her favourite part of living
in the new home, Sass says: “I can sleep aslate as I want and I sleep like a baby!”V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

EMPLOYMENT
Fight for right to workASTRID FEBRUARIE
@FebAstrid
Awoman with a physical disability hasnot given up her own fight to ensurepeople living with disabilities have a
right to decent employment.Undere Deglon, CEO of Disability Work-
shop Development Enterprise (DWDE),works closely with a number of companiesin the private sector that are committed toemploying people with disabilities.
The Institute for Promotion of DisabledManpower, in partnership with WesternCape Network on Disability, held a summitat the Cape Town International ConventionCentre (CTICC) on Friday 13 February.
Sinawe Pezi, deputy CEO of DWDE, ex-plained through education, empowermentand networking opportunities between em-ployers and people with disabilities, the or-ganisation’s Employment Support Servicesmakes a significant contribution towardsenriching lives, building an inclusive socie-ty and inspiring young people on their waytowards finding opportunities for work.
The DWDE launched the EmploymentSupport Services in 2013 across South Afri-ca with an associated target employment of1200 people with disabilities in the open la-bour market.
Pezi says the 2% employment campaignis a partnership between DWDE, the JobsFund, administered by the DevelopmentBank of Southern Africa and the United Na-tions Special Rapporteur on Disability.
“We seek to create awareness among em-ployers about the employability of peoplewith disabilities and to give people with dis-abilities exposure to employment opportu-nities and guide them in the right careerchoices,” she says.
During the Disability Employment Sum-mit, the organisation presented an over-view of an employment creation campaign.
It was revealed at the summit that the pri-
vate sector is well on its way to meeting the2% quota set out by government, whilesome are exceeding expectation.
Pezi says many South Africans with disa-bilities desperately require an increase injob creation initiatives to overcome the un-employment problem.
“Unemployment is the root cause of pov-erty and inequality, and can be a contribut-ing factor to substance abuse, increased lev-els of crime and social exclusion,” she says.
Pezi says according to Statistics South Af-rica Census 2011, there are just over two mil-lion (7.54%) people with disabilities, exclud-ing certain groups and children youngerthan five, compared to people without disa-bilities which total just over 35 million(92.46%). “On the other hand, the Commis-sion for Employment Equity Annual Report2013/2014, reporting on employment equityprogress among designated employers, not-ed after 15 years there are only about 50 000(0.9%) people with disabilities in employ-
ment,” she says.This is miles away from the target of 2%
employment of persons with disabilities setby the government, Pezi explains.
“The Employment Equity Act in SouthAfrica was intended to eliminate discrimi-nation in employment by developing a la-bour force that is broadly representative ofthe South African population,” she says.
However, Pezi says, many unemployedSouth Africans with disabilities remaincondemned to a life of dependence on disa-bility grants. “We would like to partner withthe private sector and government institu-tions to assist them with achieving their 2%quota,” she urges.
Pezi adds that South Africa will have adisability census in 2015 which will hopeful-ly show an accurate profile and prevalenceof all disability types in South Africa.
“Both internationally and locally, thereare difficulties in obtaining accurate disa-bility statistics,” she says.

Title deed backlogs addressedThe City of Cape Town is making goodprogress in clearing backlogs pertaining tohistoric title deeds, some stretching as farback as 30 years.
According to a statement, efforts to active-ly speed up the transfer of these title deedsare yielding results and more than half ofthe total backlog identified in 2012 has al-ready been eliminated.
At the end of January, more than 13 700historic title deeds have been transferred topreviously disadvantaged beneficiariessince 2012.
This has been the result of a massive ef-fort by the City’s human settlements direct-orate. These transfers pertained to olderhousing projects that had previously beenhampered from finalisation by intricate and
complex processes, including legal, convey-ancing and other factors, such as the miss-ing particulars of a beneficiary.
“In early 2012, the City embarked on aproject, which is still ongoing, to make per-manent staff and resources available to ad-dress historical transfer backlogs, wherethese could be completed,” said maycomember for human settlements, Benedictavan Minnen.
“In an effort to speed up the processes in-volved, some of these transfers are activelybeing driven by the City’s project managersof human settlements housing projects,while others are being attended to at a legallevel.
We will not rest on our laurels as thereis much work to be done. The City plans to
finalise just over 11 000 of these historictransfers over the coming years,” she said.
Key areas where historic title deeds havebeen transferred during the time in reviewinclude Khayelitsha, Bloekombos, Walla-cedene, Nomzamo, Nyanga, Philippi andWesbank.
Over the years it has been established thatthe most common reasons why beneficia-ries have not received title deeds includeunsigned sale agreements; beneficiarieswho cannot be traced; incomplete applica-tions; legalities around ownership; rezon-ing issues; unpaid loans by beneficiaries;and conveyancing challenges.
Each case has to be addressed individual-ly, but could involve a combination of thechallenges listed above.

PHUMLANI VILLAGE
Electricity ‘thieving’ problemCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Phumlani Village residents are riskinglife and limb to illegally connect elec-tricity.
Ward councillor Shaun August has raisedconcern over residents in the informal set-tlement connecting their electricity illegallyafter they found away to bypass the electric-ity boxes.People’s Post previously reported on the
electrification of Phumlani Village whereelectricity was supplied to 200 residents(“Switching on the lights – at last”, 24 April2014).
August says he visited the area a fewmonths ago when he noticed the worryingtrend.
“While I was doing a site visit I saw someresidents were able to connect their housesupply straight to the main electricity sup-ply in their roads. They managed this byconnecting it to the supposed grey tamper-free electricity kiosks in their roads,” hesays.
According to August this practise is very
worrying as theCity of CapeTownnow losesmillions of rands a year due to “thieving”residents.
“These residents should be paying fortheir pre-paid electricity, but due to the ille-gal connections they are now basically get-ting free electricity supply to their homes.It is a health and safety risk,” August adds.
Mayoral Committee Member for UtilityServices Ernest Sonnenberg says theamount of money that is lost due to illegalelectricity connections totalled up to R250mfor the 2014/2015 financial year.
“This is amajor loss to theCity everyyear.It is uncalled for and the residents need tounderstand that they are committing an ille-gal act,” August says.
Sonnenberg adds the City bought10 200 532 274 kWh of electricity for the2013/2014 financial year.
This amounted to just over R6.2bn for thatfinancial year.
Sonnenberg has warned residents whoconnect their home electricity supply to ki-osks in their road. “In termsof bypassing themeter, the installation or modification ofany electrical infrastructure by anyonewho
is not certified and does not have the neces-sary authority to do so endangers lives andincreases the risk of fire. In addition, over-loading of the network causes nuisance trip-ping and the malfunction of appliances,”Sonnenberg explains.
He adds that there are penalties payable
for residents who find themselves guilty ofthe illegal connections.
Residents are encouraged to report illegalconnections to 086 010 3089 or by sending anSMS to 31220.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“Post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

ZEEKOEVLEI
Tea time reservedCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
The proposal to use a facility at the Ron-devlei Nature Reserve as a tea roomhas been approved.
This decision came at the South Peninsu-la Subcouncil meeting on Monday 16March.The nature reserve will now use a vacant
facility on the property as a tea and functionroom.The facility was vacant for some time. It
was previously used as a tea room but wasno longer being used for that purpose.In a report, it states that the Friends of
Zeekoevlei and the False Bay Nature Re-servehave gone about amanagement agree-ment to “further the relationship betweenthe parties by enabling the Friends of Zeek-oevlei to operate the tea and functionroom”.“This will increase the utilisation of the
nature reserve and supports local economicdevelopment,” the report states.
The Friends of Zeekoevlei will be usingthe facility to provide a tea room service forvisitors to theRondevlei section of theFalseBay Nature Reserve.“The facility will be used for the purpose
of hosting events and beverages to be soldat the facility during agreed hours,”contin-ues the report.“The Friends of Zeekoevleiwill also be re-
sponsible for the provision of food and bev-erages to be sold at the facility as well asother aspects relating to the operationof thetea room and the events or functions thatmay be held there.”The Friends of Zeekoevlei will also not be
financially implied for the use of the facility“provided they are an NPO whose constitu-tion is aimed at supporting the False BayNature Reserve”.According to the Friends of Zeekoevlei,
the tea room operation is striving to be asenvironmentally responsible as possible, isintending to minimise the use of packagingand use biodegradable packaging, wherepossible.

LAVENDER HILL
Changing livesCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
At least one life of a self-confessed gang-ster and drug addict may change.
This comes after the Department ofCommunitySafety (Docs) visited theLaven-der Hill community on Thursday 19March.
During the introduction of the youth pro-gramme offered to youth aged between 18and 35, one man stood up and told his storyof wanting to make use of the opportunitypresented to the gang-ridden community.
The 28-year-oldman, who requested to re-main anonymous out of fear of victimisa-tion, stood up to tell his story to youth whofilled the Lavender Hill Civic Centre.
“I was presented with an opportunity toequip myself with skills at the ChrysalisAcademy when I was 16 years old. I wentthere butwithin the firstweek, I decided theprogramme wasn’t for me. So I ran away,”he recalled.
While addressing the groupwho gatheredin the community centre he recounts hislife decisions.
JemayneAndrews andofficial from Docslistened patiently as she called order in theroom after the room erupted for a few sec-onds.
“I want us all to listen to his story. Heknows exactly what the impact of his choi-ces were and has chosen to come out heretoday to come share his story,” Andrewssaid.
He was asked to continue with his storywhen the man said he wanted help to betterhis life.
“I am tired of living this life. Bothmy par-ents have passed away and I have nowhereto go. I don’t even have a fixed address be-cause my aunt and uncle put me out of myparents’ council-owned home due to me
smoking drugs,” he said.He added that he got caught up in drugs
and gangsterism from a very young age.“I am going to be honest and say that I am
a gangster and I use drugs but I am tiredof this life. I want to do something betterwith my time,” he added.
When asked what he does for a living, hesays he does not have a job at the momentbut worked as a general labourer.
“But I don’t work at the moment. Ek is ‘nbendelid [I am a gangster].”
Andrews offered help to the young manthrough the provincial department’s youthprogramme, which he welcomed.
“I would really appreciate it if you couldhelp me steer my life in another direction.I don’t want to stand on street corners any-more and harass the public for money,” headded.
While listening to his story, Andrewsfought back her tears and said: “This iswhat this programme is all about.”
“We want to present our youth with op-portunities so they may better their lives.Even if we just help one life here today itwill be enough for me,” she said.
Ewald Botha, provincial community safe-ty minister Dan Plato’s spokesperson, saysthe coalition with the department and com-munity is important to ensure the safety ofthe youth.
“The department understands the neces-sity for our youth to be safe and to have ac-cess to opportunities and development atsafe venues. That is why our interventionsand meaningful partnerships across theboard seek to help communities create saferenvironments and for the youth to have saf-er alternatives available to them,” Bothasays.V What are your thoughts?

Water shortageCapeTown’s freshwater supply is under
major threat and according to the De-partment ofWater and Sanitationmost
analysts predict South Africa’s water de-mand will outstrip its supply by 2025.
Already the demand for water has over-taken supply in 60% of SouthAfrica’s watermanagement systems.
However, according to water scientists,changing our everyday behaviour can helpto alleviate the pressure put on our reservesdue to climate change, pollution and outdat-ed infrastructure.
During National Water Week, Monday 16to Sunday 22March, theWatershedFestivalaimed to restore the public’s appreciationof clean and accessible drinking water, re-minding them of its worth, scarcity and theabsence of a substitute.
The festival saw free educational eventsheld across the city, including an outdoorscreening of two award-winning documen-tary feature films depicting water in all its
beauty at Green Point Urban Park.TheWatershedFestival looks to create in-
creased awareness of the Cape and SouthAfrica’s water crisis. With dams currentlyat 69% capacity, all it will take to literallyrun on empty is a few consecutive winterswith less than expected rainfall thanks toclimate change.
And 40% of our waste water treatment fa-cilities are in a critical state and in need ofan upgrade, having outlived their 30-yearlifespan by a decade or so.
SouthAfrica loses 37%of clean, drinkablewater through leaking pipes and drippingtaps every year, while increasing pollutiondue to rapidly expanding urban areas andillegal dumping add to the crisis.V Win! Win! Win! Five readers stand a chance towin a Woolworth’s hamper of WLAB washing

No spray parkCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
Due to a funding withdrawal, plans forthe Seawinds spray park will nolonger go ahead.
Thiswas recently announced at the SouthPeninsula subcouncil.People’s Post previously reported on the
proposed plans for the spray park whichwas set to be erected on the Seawinds SportsField (“Smart park for hot days”, 24 Februa-ry).Speaking during the monthly subcouncil
meeting, ward councillor Shaun Augustvoiced his concerns. He explained as theitem had been listed on the budget, resi-dents were already informed of theproject.“The projectwas put on paper.We viewed
this as a confirmation. Now we will have togo back to them and say it has been put onhold.”Mayoral CommitteeMember for Commu-
nity Services and Special Projects Belinda
Walker confirms the budget has been “dis-approved”.“The Urban Settlement Development
Grant (USDG) funding allocation hasbeen reduced and therefore funding is nolonger available, which has resulted in theproject being disapproved,” Walker ex-plains.She, however, explains the project has
been put on hold until funding becomesavailable again.“The project, along with a number of oth-
er projects, has been identified as a priorityand will remain so until the required fund-ing is available. At this point, it is not clearwhen the fundswill bemade available,” shesays.The project for the Seawinds spray park
was budgeted at around R3m.“Projects that have been funded will go
ahead and, once additional funds are availa-ble, we will reapply for funding for thisproject,” Walker concludes.V What are your thoughts? Starting with the word“post”, SMS your views to 32516. SMSes cost R1.
Allergy alert raisedIf you are wondering why your allergy is get-ting worse, it is most probably because of therecent fires in the area.According to a leading supplier of allergy
medication, nasal allergies can be muchworse, especially among those living inMuizenberg, Hout Bay, Noordhoek and Stel-lenbosch where blazes were the most ram-pant.Allergy sufferers are being warned to stay
indoors and limit exercise to minimise therisk of their allergies being triggered by thehigh levels of particulate matter in thesmoky air.Mariska van Aswegen, spokesperson for
the company, says veld fires can intensify al-lergy symptoms by up to 11%.“Even if you can’t see or smell the smoke
from the fires, the body may still respond toparticulate matter, which is made up of min-uscule particles or droplets of pollution inthe air that are inhaled,” she says.VanAswegen says thisweek’s firesmay al-
so play a part in increasing hospital trafficby puttingmore allergens in the air. “Any ex-posure to any kind of smoke to thosewith un-derlying allergy conditions can cause prob-lems andmake themmore susceptible to res-piratory infections.“Smoke is an environmental allergen that
contains particles which can irritate thelungs, throat and eyes, triggering symptomslike difficulty with breathing normally;wheezing; shortness of breath; runny nose,itching, nasal congestion and obstruction ofbreathing and coughing. The most common-ly affected people are allergy sufferers, thevery young and the very old – whose lungsmay be compromised.”

The Rhodes debateI have visited the Rhodes memorial onseveral occasions and have taken manyof my guests to view the beauty of CapeTown in all it splendour on warmwindless days.
The views were always breathtaking. Inever for once bothered about thehistory of Cecil John Rhodes until therecent protest by the students of UCTover his statue.
What was very worrying, was theracially divisive nature of the protestsand the extremely acerbic tone of thedebates. I was prompted to research theman’s history to make sense of thisdivisive debate.
I came across an excellent articlewritten by Mzubisi Qobo, the pastpresident of the student representativecouncil in 1996. The article appeared inBusiness Day on Friday 20 March.
According to Qobo, Cecil J Rhodeswas infamously known for his “EveryMaster Wallop-his Nigger Bill”, whichgave white farmers the right to flogtheir black workers.
He strongly opposed the idea of givingblacks the right to “own land” in theirown country. He felt that they should be
kept in sub-human conditions in nativereserves.
Qobo further states that Rhodes’purported generosity to donate land forUCT and his residence for future primeministers was done so with plunderedmoney and to bribe the future not tojudge him harshly for his ugly past.
I am sure many beneficiaries of theRhodes scholarship back in the early’50s and ’60s, who are his staunchsupporters and responsible for all thevitriol in the media against the protest-ers, were totally ignorant of the fact thatRhodes was an absolute racist.
With the Rhodes ugly racist back-ground, there should be no doubt thathis statue has absolutely no place in areputable university like the UCT oftoday. Like Hitler’s and other dictators’statues, Rhodes’ statue should be kept ina museum to remind civilised peoplethat the evil of one’s past will always beremembered by history.
Rhodes’ statue occupies a space thatcould and should be occupied by astatue of a person that could make theuniversity, its students and fellowCapetonians extremely proud of.
That person is Archbishop EmeritusDesmond Tutu, a world renowned figure,who so fearlessly devoted so much of hislife for the liberation of this countryfrom the terrible shackles of apartheid.This man is hugely responsible forprevailing upon black South Africans torenounce violence and forgive theiroppressor to build a rainbow nation.
It was so heartening to hear Afrikaansspeakers in Ventersdorp welcoming theidea of reburying the remains of the lateJB Marks, the struggle leader, who diedin Moscow in 1972, in Ventersdorp tobring about racial harmony in a townthat was torn apart by the Terreblanche.
If the residents of Ventersdorp can doit, then it shouldn’t be too hard for theliberal-minded Capetonians of all racesto unite and replace the bad with thegood.
In a free and democratic country suchas ours, centres of learning should havestatues and monuments of people thatcan inspire their pupils to be goodcitizens and not have statues of racistslike Rhodes, who treated black peoplewith absolute disdain.
UCT vice-chancellor Max Price will beremembered well by history for takingthe correct decision to remove thishurtful reminder of our sad past.
DR ELLAPEN RAPITIMitchell’s Plain
Poverty stricken and living in an informal settlement,thousands of shackdwellers are looking for a wayto raise their children in better conditions.
Topping the priority list is a home built with brickswhich does not flood every winter.
Electricity without the dangers of an illegal connectionis a close second.
Add to that clean running water which does not haveto be carried in a bucket from a tap several meters away.
But often, the City of Cape Town’s alternatives givento informal settlement dwellers come at far too high aprice – a move from Maitland to Mfuleni or from the CapeTown CBD to Strandfontein.
Such moves will make it near impossible for these low-income groups to keep their jobs or visit their families.
And when informal settlement dwellers raise these is-sues, they are often met with the immovable response:“Take it or leave it.”
But the City is more than capable of bending over back-wards for those they feel deserve it.
Daily council makes concessions to big developers, al-lowing them to build too close to the road or neighbouringboundary walls.
These concessions see buildings springing up too highon the mountain or at the expense of heritage fabric.
The recipients of such concessions are often corpora-tions worth millions, who give little back.
Are they really the ones council should be giving con-cessions to? Where is the pro-poor planning to comple-ment the City’s claims to pro-poor spending?
We need holistic solutions that cover all sectors of socie-ty, effective changes that reduce the income gap and hous-ing proposals that go hand-in-hand with a sense of digni-ty.
If council wants to give a developer a concession, let’ssee both of them hold out a helping hand first.
EDITORIAL COMMENT:

Poem for firemenFor days on end the fire raged, andthe smoke hung thick and low,
The wind that fanned the flames tolife, made the fire fighting slow,
By night the fires were eerie, asthey danced in the dark night sky,
One’s heart felt truly broken, for theanimals that would die.
In the early hours of morning light,came a welcome sight and sound,
The familiar noise of the chopperblades, as they clattered round andround,
Running relays back and forth, withwater to douse the flame,
Brave and fearless and against allodds, they battled fatigue and pain.
On the ground the winds grewstrong, but on the mountain we knew,
The up-draughts and the thermals,meant danger for pilot and crew,
Against the mountain they flew soclose, again and again they came,
Standing there helpless on theground, we could only pray for rain.
The fire fighters could hardly cope,but stayed focused on their quest
Back and forth as the flare-upscame, they never stopped to rest,
Brave and fearless they soldiered on,with cannons and with hose,
Never faltering or recoiling, nomatter how high the flames rose.
Heroes died and homes were de-stroyed, through this fire’s destructivehand,
The scenic beauty that we knew so
well, became a charred and barrenland,
The smell of smoke filled the air,and the haze stole the light of the sun,
But through it all our heroes stoodtall, making sure the battle was won.
So when it was over and time totake stock, we were trying to countthe cost,
But sadly we knew this could neverbe done, because there had been sucha loss,
In the pages of history the facts willreveal, how our heroes had won theday,
And through the drama and painthat prevailed, a nation had learned topray.

A hot stepperCHEVON BOOYSEN
@ChevonBooysen
A youngman fromSeawinds is danc-ing his way to success.And to add to his string of suc-
cesses, the 21-year-old is now set to com-pete as a pop and lock champion repre-senting South Africa in San Diego, Cali-fornia.The humble Densley Carolissen, also
known as Lyrical Deezy, says his jour-ney as a hip hop dancer started while hewas at primary school.“I always had a passion for dance and
would get the love for it from watchinga lot of dance movies. I would go outsidethen I would battle my friends in thestreets, like they would do in those mov-ies,” he says.He has always had dreams of going
overseas and for Lyrical Deezy thisdreamwasmade a reality when he start-ed competing professionally at the age of17. “In the first competition I entered –the national hip hop championships – Imanaged to get a silver medal. This wasa breakthrough for me because fromthere on out I would go overseas formany competitions in the dance indus-try,” he says.He adds he competed in the African
Hip Hop Indaba, a local hip hop competi-tion, and won the competition for twoconsecutive years.LyricalDeezy says he competed in pro-
fessional dance competitions since 2011.“I always compete in local talent
shows as well. But my most recent suc-cess is definitely a great achievement for
me and my community,” he says.As part of an initiative, Lyrical Deezy
has also decided to plough his skills backinto the community by offering after-school hip hop classes at Floreat Prima-ry.“We have daily hip hop classes for the
pupils at the school and this is just anactivity to keep the children off thestreets. I loveworkingwith thepupils be-cause they enjoy the classes so much,”he explains.He says it gives him great pleasure to
add positively to the lives of children inthe area and to be a part of creating a safehaven for them.“The reality of children in our areas
is that some of them grow up with eithersingle parents or they don’t have parentsat all and live with guardians. I havegrown a bond with many of them and itis gratifying to know they appreciatethat time is taken out to spend withthem. Evenwhen Imiss a day of practisewith them, they will come tome the nextday and want to know where I was,” helaughs.Lyrical Deezywill be flying to SanDie-
go at the end of July ahead of the compe-tition in August.“I will be hosting fundraisers in the
lead-up to the competition because inthis competition we unfortunately haveto pay our own airfare and accommoda-tion. But that’s all I’m focussed on aspocket money isn’t really a must,” hesays.V If you would like to help Densley Carolissen bymaking donations for his trip you can call him on084 318 0441.

TYRE SAFETY
Listen to your tyresA well-known countrywide tyre retailer
is challenging motorists to do sometread investigation to determine exact-
ly what your tyre tread wear is telling you.“Everything you need to know about
what’s going on with your wheel alignmentor balancing, tyre pressure and even yourshocks, is imprinted on your tyres. The trickis knowing how to read these clues,” says,Joe duPlooy, GroupMarketingExecutive ina press release.Here are some hints from the tyre experts
on what your tread is telling you:. Worn inner or outer edges, also known
as “toe wear.” This could be an indicator ofa problemwith your wheel alignment. Have
it checked right away.. Wear on both the inner and outer edges.
Your tyres are likely underinflated. Inflatethem right away and have them checked forleaks.
. Wear down in the middle of the tyrecould mean your tyres are overinflated.Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-tions for your tyres and stick with the pres-sure indicated.
. Random bald spots. This could be fromexcessive breaking or skidding and could al-so be a sign that your shocks are worn orwheels are seriously out of balance. Eitherway, you shouldhave it seen to immediately.
.Cupping or scalloping. If you can see the
signs of diagonal tread wear on your tyres,you should know this is a serious problemthat could be the result of worn shocks oreven a failing suspension. Have it checkedright away.“When it comes to getting the safest, long-
est use from your tyres, prevention is better(andcheaper) thancure,” saysDuPlooy. “Byregularly inflating your tyres to the manu-facturer’s recommended pressure, checkingyour wheel balancing and alignment, rotat-ing your tyres every 10 000 km or every timeyouhit an obstacle andmaintaining your ve-hicle’s suspension, you can enjoy manymore kilometers of safe driving than youmight otherwise.” Be sure not to drive your car with worn tyres.

MODEL UPDATE
Auris getsnew lookThe Toyota Auris range as shown at the
Geneva Motor Show earlier thismonth, has been extensively revised
for 2015 to increase its appeal to a widerrange of customers.According to a press release by Toyota
South Africa, the refreshed exterior and in-terior styling is the core change.In the cabin, the focus is on higher levels
of sensory quality, using premium qualitytrims and finishes. Additional measures toreduce NVH levels have been taken and de-tail adjustments to steering and suspensionhave improved handling, comfort and driv-er involvement.The local engine line-up remains as is
with both hybrid and normally-aspiratedpetrol powered options.The big news is the refreshed exterior
styling presents a new-look front and rear,givingAuris amore prestigious and sophis-ticated road presence.In profile the new styling generates
longer overhangs, improving the overallbalance of the design and leading the eyein a sweeping line from the frontToyota em-
blem to the rear lamp cluster. A new sharkfin roof antenna and 16 and 17-inch alloywheel designs add further impact.To the rear, the lower half of the car has
been completely redesigned. The width ofthe deeper, more muscular bumper designis amplified by the location of reflectorlamp housings at the furthest edges and bya thin chrome trim line. The rear lamp clus-ters use LED light guide technology, givingAuris its own, distinctive lighting signa-ture.Onboard, the sensory quality of the cabin
has been significantly raised with a rede-signed dashboard, upgraded quality trimsand surface finishes as well as a new4.2-inch colour TFT multi-informationscreen (on all hybrids and higher grademodels). The driver’s instrument binnaclehas a stronger, more sporting design withdeep-dished tachometer and speedometerdials either side of a new screen.The 2015 Auris range further benefits
from suspension and steering revisions toimprove ride comfort, handling and driverinvolvement.
The Toyota Auris has beenextensively revised for 2015 andwill launch later this year in SouthAfrica. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

LEFT: Lauren Swarts of Elsies River region puts in tackle on Mitchell’s Plain region playerEvelyn Van der Vent during the WP under-19 Sevens tournament held at City Park onSaturday. Elsies region won 15-5.
Chappies is still first-choice route for Two OceansAccording to the organisers of theOldMutu-al Two Oceans Ultra Marathon (OMTOM),Chapman’s Peak is still the preferred routefor this race.Following the devastating fires that raged
alongCapeTown’s SouthernPeninsula, cou-pled with the regular closure of Chapman’sPeakdue tohighwinds and threatening rockfalls, there has been a question mark overthe inclusion of Chappies in the OMTOMroute.The organisers of OMTOM are still hope-
ful that the Ultra Marathon will follow thenormal route, but stress that runners’ safetyremain a top priority in all planning.“We continue to be in close contact with
theCity of CapeTownDisasterManagementteam and other key role players, and keepa finger on the pulse of all developments af-
fecting our UltraMarathon route, especiallyChapman’s Peak,” says Carol Vosloo, gener-al manager of the Old Mutual Two OceansMarathon NPC.“Running the event over Chappies is our
first choice, butwith athlete safety being ourtop concern and with less than two weeks togo before the event, it is prudent to look atour alternative route as an option.”Ou Kaapse Weg is the official alternative
route for the OMTOM, andwas used for fouryears between 2000 and 2003, when Chap-man’s Peak was originally closed while thetunnels and rock fall catchment nets werebeing constructed.The distance of both routes of theOMTOM
are the same.“Weare fortunate tohave run theOMTOM
along our plan-B route for four years, and
that our team has the historic knowledgeand experience to make the necessary logis-tical changes to facilitate this, should it be-come necessary,” says Vosloo.The availability of route alternatives is
standard procedure for any mass-participa-tion event of this scale.The Ou Kaapse Weg detour route starts in
Main Road, Newlands, and takes runnersalong the scenic South Peninsula route,through Fish Hoek and into Kommetjie.But, instead of heading towards Chap-
man’s Peak, runners will turn towards andover Ou Kaapse Weg, from where they willrun along the leafy Spaanschemat RiverRoad. They will then join the half marathonrunners at the Ladies Mile / Parish Road in-tersection before heading onto SouthernCross Drive to follow the half marathon
route along Rhodes Drive and the M3 backto UCT.“We thank runners for their patience.
While we remain confident that the scenicChapman’s Peak route will stay in place, wehope that confirming the alternative planwill empower runners to prepare for the pos-sibility of a route change,” says Vosloo.“Again, we cannot stress enough that run-
ners’ safety is put first at all times duringour planning and decision making.”TheOldMutualTwoOceansUltra andhalf
marathons are scheduled to take place onEaster Saturday 4 April.Some27 000 runners are expected topartic-
ipate in the event that is globally known asthe world’s most beautiful marathon.For more information, visit www.twoo-
ceansmarathon.org.za.

The second tournament in the series tookplace at the University of Cape Town (UCT)and Camps Bay over the past weekend.
On Friday after the first day’s round robinmatches, Rossouw and Layters had only lostone match and were second on the log, be-hind the first seeds and eventual winners ofthe tournament, Grant Goldschmidt andJerome Fredericks.
“I started playing indoor volleyball in 1999when I was still at school in Mitchell’sPlain,” says Rossouw, who is a teacher at StAnthony’s Roman Catholic Primary Schoolin Heathfield.
He is married to Tercia, a former volley-ball player and they have a daughter, Ju-liana (2).
“The indoor season is very short andwhensummer came, I hadno sport, so I progressedto beach volleyball,’ he says.
It is much the same for Layters, who is abachelor. “I also progressed from indoor vol-leyball to beach volleyball to keep playingthe sport all year round,” he says.
Rossouw stopped playing for some time,but when he decided to play again he metLayters at the University of the WesternCape (UWC) where they were both playingand decided to form a team for the Flying
Fish Beach Volleyball Series.“This (UCT) is only our second tourna-
ment together as a team, but we are develop-ing our style of playing and want to stay to-gether for the entire series,” says Rossouw.
According to him, beach volleyball stillhas a long way to go in South Africa beforethe majority of players can become profes-
sional and make a living out of it. “It is won-derful that Flying Fish sponsors this series,butweasplayers still hold a full-time jobandthe only way we will be able to make a livingas players, is to get personal sponsorships,”says Rossouw.
Layters has his eye on the Olympics. “Iwould love to represent our country at the
OlympicGames in thenot so distant future,”he says. “But it is going to take lots of hardwork.” Rossouw says training involves lotsof gym work and practise on the beach.
“Dean and I regularly meet on the beachwhere we practise our drills and do lots ofexercises andwealso go to gymoften toworkon our strength and do cardio-vascular exer-cises. It is hard work ... but we love it andhope to play for many years to come.”
