Next time you are in the market for building materials, think twice before making your choice of supplier.

A number of companies run by the same individuals are scamming people across the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, baiting clients to pay huge deposits for overly cheap building materials which are never delivered, and the funds never returned.

Th e Fourways Review is in touch with a number of furious residents

who have been put out of pocket by the following companies, all suspected to be linked: SA Building Supplies, Building4Gauteng, Basic Building Supplies, Building Matters and Jaycon Building Supplies.

Following an investigation by the Fourways Review, these names came up throughout the diff erent cases: Robyn Schmidt, Pam Rennie, Anne Bradford, Robyn Jenkins, Natalie Davies and Robyn Davies – all thought to be aliases of the same people.

Sunninghill resident Cherise Pedder

explained they paid a deposit of about R17 000 to Pam Rennie of SA Building Supplies for building materials for the construction of their new home.

“After we paid the money, we never heard from her again. She sounded so genuine and knowledgeable of the building industry, we never suspected this.”

Pedder said they persisted in getting back in touch with Rennie when a woman called Robyn Schmidt came into the picture, who claimed to be Rennie’s associate.

“She told me Pam’s son Connor was critically injured in a soccer match and was admitted to Milpark Hospital, and she could not see to the delivery. I later phoned the hospital, and they said nobody with that name had been admitted.”

But even Schmidt did nothing about delivering materials or refunding the family’s money. Karolynn van Vuuren, Annette Primo and Karin Jensen were scammed in the same fashion. “When my materials didn’t arrive, Rennie said their driver had died and her husband

had been in a car accident,” Primo told the Review. She lost R16 700.

Van Vuuren had dealt with a Robyn Davies of Building4Gauteng about a year ago, who said their truck driver had been hijacked, her boss shot and his wife badly beaten up. Her materials have still not been delivered.

Th ese excuses crop up again and again. A search on consumer watchdog website www.hellopeter.com revealed numerous other complaints relating to these companies and individuals.

Th e 2010 Fifa World Cup South Africa™ has been one massive jol. But winter chill aside, there have been some interesting titbits off the pitch.

Rewind to the Kick-Off Celebration Concert at Orlando Stadium when a spectator hurled unprintable words at Archbishop Desmond Tutu and called for Madiba to address the crowd instead.

Take for instance a group of intoxicated young men who camped in the media bus outside Soccer City complaining about the problems they had with South Africa, eventually leaving after police intervened.

Or an elderly English scribe who likened domestic workers at his World Cup residence to slavery, inequality and apartheid, and said this was a shame for a country with a history of racial tension.

However, being proud South Africans we were quick to put him in his place by pointing out that in Mzansi it was called job creation, and his views were insulting.

During a trip to the Argentina

vs Korea Republic clash, a bus driver had no clue how to reach Soccer City.

At Ellis Park the other night, a vendor approached the Review scribes and off ered to sell them earplugs.

Wrong men; we love vuvuzelas extremely loud!

Th en there are people who hang around stadiums wanting used match tickets to keep as collector’s items. Sorry mates, World Cup mementos are vital to everyone.

All in all, the feedback from foreign journalists has been good. And they love our stadiums, although most have slammed our non-existent public transport, as expected.

An American advertising executive advised the South African government to continue working towards improving public transport with projects such as Gautrain and Rea Vaya even after the World Cup has ended because ‘what we have seen on your roads is a disaster’. Hopefully, Transport Minister Sbu Ndebele is taking notes.�[email protected]

At a monthly meeting on crime awareness with domestic workers and gardeners, on the agenda of Make A Diff erence (MAD) was the stigma of HIV/Aids.

According to organiser Penny Steyn, the way HIV/Aids suff erers are sometimes treated, specifi cally by their employers, could be considered criminal.

Steyn said crimes related to HIV/Aids included knowingly infecting another person with HIV and spreading the illness, not wanting to know your HIV status, being fi red from your job because you had HIV (which must be reported to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration) or assuming people had HIV because of the way they looked, or because they suff ered from TB or pneumonia.

Guest speaker Fabien Nove-Josserend, who has lived with HIV for the past 27 years, said, “I have received treatment for seven years only through ARVs.

“Garlic, beetroot and olive oil must stay in the kitchen and you can shower until you’re blue in the face.”

Nove-Josserend also emphasised the importance of knowing your

status, eating healthily and not smoking.

“And forgive yourself. Forgive the virus for doing this to you. Forgive

the person who gave it you. Resent and regret will only make you sicker,” concluded Steyn.�[email protected]

Douglasdale police and residents are working together to reduce crime and increase services as the expansion of the police station reaches it fi nal stages.

Several blue and white buildings have been constructed, framed with fresh gravel and small garden paths. Aside from enjoying the new look, members of the public will no longer experience the hassle of waiting in long lines to report an emergency.

Th e project includes the upgrade of the police parking area that was previously a dust bowl. Th e corner of Witkoppen Road and Douglas Drive that was once littered and unkempt has

now been paved, treed and enclosed in a palisade fence. Th e station has also been equipped with more furniture and eight patrol vehicles. Heading the project is precinct Community Policing Forum’s Jean Berdou.

“We are extremely pleased with the support and cooperation of the committee, the public, Brigadier Jenny Naidoo and her staff . It really has been an amazing journey. We have six new offi ces, new computer and TV systems with DVD training capability as well as fresh coats of paint, new lighting and new fl oors. Th e morale of the offi cers has soared which might explain why crime has been reduced so drastically.”�[email protected]

A Dainfern resident is on the lookout for her domestic worker and gardener who allegedly cleaned out her safe and skipped town.

Karen Louw suspected that while she was away for a few hours, her domestic worker stole her safe key, gained access and removed a large sum of money including traveller’s cheques.

Th e matter was reported to the Douglasdale police and a case was opened.

Detectives arrived at Louw’s home where fi ngerprints on

the safe matched those found in the domestic worker’s living quarters. Th e domestic worker was last seen at the complainant’s residence in Sherwood Village, Dainfern and lives in Diepsloot.

“She is originally from KwaZulu Natal and worked with us for three years,” said Louw. She was last seen with our gardener who we only know as Simon, a Zimbabwean for whom we have no documentation.

“We are hoping they will be located and arrested soon.”

FROM PAGE 1Th e name Robyn Schmidt is also linked to Building4Gauteng, Basic Building Supplies and Jaycon Building Supplies.

Banking details for SA Building Supplies show the account is in the name of NP Botha, while their invoice gives a business address at 79 Wroxham Road in Paulshof. Th e Review could not locate this address.

Sandton police Warrant Offi cer Justice Malatjie was handling Pedder’s case, but said it was proving very diffi cult to make progress.

“She is nowhere to be found. We are waiting for her bank to provide us with more information, and maybe we can get a legitimate address from them.”

Malatjie also explained they had attempted to set up a meeting with

Schmidt, acting as potential clients, but she never pitched up.

Meanwhile Van Vuuren, who made a case with the Sandton police more than a year ago without any result, said the blame fell at the feet of police offi cials, who had had more than enough time to investigate.

Th e Review attempted to get in touch with SA Building Supplies on the number provided on their invoice. A woman answered the call but immediately hung up when we identifi ed ourselves.

A message was left requesting that the company respond to the allegations but she failed to do so.

An e-mail was sent to their address, but no response had been received.

Th ere has been a switch in the everyday use of light energy since the introduction of Compact Florescent Lamps (CFLs) which have been labelled by some as one of the easiest ways to save electricity, money and ultimately the planet.

Eskom, with support from numerous private companies and City Power and City of Joburg, has initiated a project to have residents across the country exchange their current light bulbs for CFLs at no cost.

Lebone Engineering, one of the companies contracted to Eskom to help roll out the project, will implement the project in northern parts of Joburg.

“People can exchange their

light bulbs for new CFLs at exchange points at various shopping centres,” said Fezeka Swana, project manager for the CFL project at Lebone.

To exchange your light bulbs, visit one of the exchange points at Cambridge or Leaping Frog shopping centres or the Park in Magaliessig.

Other locations have not yet been confi rmed.

Details: Eskom Contact Centre, 0860 Eskom (37566).�[email protected]

How to swap your bulbs:�Take your ID book or driver’s licence and proof of address to an exchange point.�Old bulbs must be in working condition. Broken and new/unused bulbs will not be

exchanged.�CFLs distributed for free do not work with dimmer switches.�A maximum of 20 bulbs will be exchanged per household.�CFLs will not be exchanged for CFLs.�Screw-in bulbs will be exchanged for screw-in CFLs and pin-fi tting bulbs for pin-fi tting CFLs.

Did you know:� CFLs give off the same amount of light as standard incandescent lights, but consume 80 percent less energy.� CFLs save homeowners on electricity and last up to six times longer.� In South Africa, Eskom has retro-fi tted 22 million CFLs in homes.

Switch bulbs and save up

OUT WITH THE OLD: Change your old light bulbs to Compact Florescent Lamps (CFLs) to save money, electricity and the planet.

Don’t leave the house without your passport – your Green Passport that is.

Th is initiative by the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep), Global Environment Facility (GEF) and South African Department of Environmental Aff airs (DEA) aims to encourage tourists to contribute to sustainable tourism by making responsible choices.

Th e ‘passport’ is a booklet fi lled with information on travel that respects the environment and positively aff ects economic development. It will be available at airports, hotels and tourist centres countrywide.

Th is awareness drive launched in Illovo is part of a project called Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Major Sporting Events: Fifa 2010 and the Green Goal. One of the criteria for choosing host countries was how well they fulfi lled this goal.

With $1 million in GEF funding, 12 billboards, 60 traffi c lights and 78 street lights

near stadiums in six host cities have been converted to solar power.

Another project enables travellers to calculate and off set their carbon emissions against one of fi ve projects that includes soil composting, wind energy and solar cookers. In addition 11 visiting football teams (Algeria, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Uruguay, Italy, Switzerland, Argentina, England, Republic of Korea and Serbia) have committed to off set their emissions. Unep hoped more would follow suit.

“Hosting the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ must leave a legacy, and we want it to be a green legacy,” said Andre Share, DEA chief executive offi cer.

“We hope travellers take the knowledge home and implement environmentally friendly changes in their lives. Th e message is simple yet powerful – through small lifestyle adjustments we can all score goals for our planet,” said Unep’s Satinder Bindra.

Kyalami Estates residents are pulling their hair out after the City of Johannesburg announced an allocation of street numbers for the up market residential complex.

Th is comes after the municipality discovered the estate had not been allocated numbers which resulted in an inappropriate billing process.

In a meeting between Kyalami Estates manager, Dave Th omas, Ward 93 councillor Annette Deppe and City of Johannesburg offi cials it emerged that Kyalami residents had been using postal addresses to receive their bills.

Th e municipality will deliver letters requesting property owners to display the allocated number facing the street at the entrance of the property.

On receipt of the letter residents will have 30 days to display the allocated numbers.

Th e city requires that numbers should not be smaller than 75mm in height.

Th e change of addresses will aff ect more than 2000 residents at the 1006-unit establishment in terms of compliance with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (Fica).

“On average there are two people per household, so more than 2000 people will have to go to their banks to update their Fica details,” said Th omas.

“It is the responsibility of the residents to notify relevant institutions of any address change.

“It is also their responsibility to display correct numbers.” Th omas said the estate previously installed the existing numbers for R150 each. Changing street numbers will result in a cost of more than R150 000 to the estate.

“We will have both new and old numbers displayed until everybody familiarises themselves with the new addresses,” said Th omas.

He said the removal of the existing numbers would aff ect security and emergency operations�[email protected]

WHY?: Kyalami Estates manager, Dave Thomas said the estate offi ce number will probably change from 175 to number 1.

Residents of Douglasdale have banded together to launch the Crime Prevention Forum Sector 4 adopt-a-pavement programme.

Th e project involves beautifying the polluted and derelict corners at the intersections of Douglas with Leslie and Witkoppen roads.

About 1200m² now have fresh gravel and a variety of indigenous plants.

CPF Sector 4 chairman Susan Mottram has challenged other suburbs and sectors in Douglasdale to do the same. “Th ese corners will demonstrate to the rest of the community

what they can do to improve the quality of life in their area. Crime and grime go hand in hand.”

Mottram thanked Mike Schomalistis, owner of Douglasdale shopping centre, Craig Nelson, owner of Douglasdale Pick n Pay, Rodney Wolmer, manager of Douglasdale Village and Willem Maritz, owner of Palm For You for their investment in the project.

“It is time to start taking responsibility. We need an army of people to help out otherwise the few who are doing so won’t be encouraged”.�[email protected]

AFTER: Susan Mottram and the staff are involved in upgrading the pavement.

Paulshof ratepayers have had it with poor or non-existent service delivery from city council, and are introducing an innovative way to raise funds to fi x up the suburb themselves.

In a quest to become more self-suffi cient, the Paulshof Residents and Ratepayers Association (PRRA) will sell the Paulshof Loyalty Card from 3 July, which will be available to anyone for R500.

Valid for six months from 1 August, the card entitles the holder to discounts, special off ers and entry into monthly prize draws from local businesses. Funds raised from the purchase price will be injected back into community projects.

Resident Warren Daniel said the initiative would see to it that everyone won.

“Th e card eventually pays for itself through the discounts gained at local shops and restaurants.

“And even if residents don’t use the cards that often, they will benefi t from the many projects on the community wishlist.”

Items on the list include security projects like installing CCTV cameras and booming off roads, as well as neighbourhood beautifi cation and maintenance initiatives across the suburb.

Application forms for the cards are not yet available, but look out for a follow-up article in the Review which will provide this information when available.

Vuvuzelas were cheerfully blown to welcome the festivities around the 2010 Fifa World Cup ™, but pet owners dreaded the eff ect that the controversial instrument has on their pets.

Dr Claire Considine of Sandringham veterinary centre reported treating several pets petrifi ed by the loud blowing of vuvuzelas.

“We have had complaints from pet owners whose pets hid under beds and behind couches. For such cases, we prescribed sedatives to help them cope.

“Th ere are also eff ective homeopathic remedies available that may be bought across the counter at most surgeries to help keep your pet calm,” said Considine.

Pet owner, Pam Blumenthal said she was mostly concerned about damage to her pets’ ears. “I’m afraid animals may lose their hearing from the noise,” she said.

Sandton SPCA spokesman, Candice Segal said, “It is well known that dogs and cats have hearing that is superior to that of humans. A dog’s hearing ranges from as low as 16 Hz to as high as 100 000 Hz.

“We appeal to vuvuzela users to be aware and sensitive to pets’ health and safety. Do not blow a vuvuzela in close range of your pet and if your

dogs or cats are frightened by the sound, make sure they are kept in a secure and safe environment during matches or times of celebration.

“We support the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ as well as responsible pet care.”�[email protected]

Advice for animal owners

Th e SPCA advises residents to adopt the following guidelines to help protect their pets: �Ensure all animals have identifi cation (i.e. microchip and/or identity tag)�If possible stay at home with them and help keep them calm�If you can’t be at home keep your pets inside and preferably in a room that is safe and secure; �Try and subdue any noise by drawing the curtains and playing calming music�Put familiar and comforting things around them�Give your pets a nutritious and balanced meal at night – this is likely to make them more sleepy�Give them something to chew on, a chewy bone or catnip toys for cats �Keep pets indoors during anticipated high noise level periods such as when vuvuzelas may used.

Employees of the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) downed tools and left fans stranded after a 2010 Fifa World Cup™ match at Soccer City.

Th e strike happened barely a week after control of the BRT was handed over to Clidet 957, established by former taxi bosses who surrendered 585 taxis to city council in exchange for shares in the company.

Tahir Sema, South African Municipality Workers Union (Samwu) spokesman, said bus drivers and staff downed tools because they were angered by adjusted shifts aimed

at accommodating fans at World Cup matches in Johannesburg. “Th e employer took a unilateral decision without consulting the unions and employees. Th is resulted in a surprise strike organised by the angry employees.

“However we have since deployed representatives to the negotiation table to iron out the issue amicably.’’

Mayor Amos Masondo had hailed the handover of phase 1A that operated between Soweto and the city centre as an historic milestone. He said BRT was 100 percent owned by Clidet 957 and praised stakeholders involved in the lengthy negotiations.

“Without your commitment this transformation in public transport would have been impossible,’’ Masondo said.

But this newspaper has reliably learnt of another dispute involving the union and the company, that is waiting to be heard in the labour court. Th is was sparked by a complaint by Clidet 957, which is a member of the South African Road Passenger Bargaining Council.

Clidet 957 is questioning Samwu’s right to represent the BRT employees even though they are no longer in the employ of the municipality.�[email protected]

While the Gauteng Education MEC, Barbara Creecy has promised to get the education basics right, the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the legislature is horrifi ed at the amount of school closures.

Th e debate was sparked by the revelation that at least 109 schools had closed down in the province since 1994, 27 of them in Soweto.

Gauteng DA education spokesman Khume Ramulifho said that closing down schools undermined those who fought to liberate the majority of people from hunger, poverty and sub-standard education. “Th e DA is extremely concerned about children from disadvantaged areas who are excluded from opportunities to acquire skills and a good education. Th ey simply add to the already tragic statistics of those deprived of these opportunities.”

Ramulifho said the DA’s view was that schools were places where formal education should take place, and that the MEC had to ensure that schools were structured for maximum performance, and implemented turnaround strategies for dysfunctional schools.

But Department of Education spokesman Charles Phahlane said there were a variety of valid reasons why the department closed down the schools. “In some township schools there is an artifi cial concentration

of pupils. Th e advent of democracy made it possible for child-bearing people to move and settle where they wish, closer to work. Th is has resulted in a number of schools with fewer scholars. Th e department was forced to merge some schools and hand over the buildings of others to the municipalities.”

Phahlane reiterated this sentiment when describing schools that had only two staff members, a teacher and a principal, and 30 pupils. “When we close down schools we consult extensively with all stakeholders aff ected and explain to them the reasons, such as relocating scholars to quality schools where they will receive quality education.”�[email protected]

Councillor Vasco Da Gama is the new caucus leader of the DA in the City of Johannesburg.

Da Gama’s election followed the resignation of Victor Penning in May. Penning is now a councillor.

According to the DA, Penning resigned to make way for a smooth transition into the upcoming local government elections.

“I am pleased with the arrangements and excited about the new team of leaders,” said Penning. “Th ey are a good team of youngsters with new ideas for the party.”

Da Gama, serving as the DA’s chairman of the Sandton North/Midrand constituency, promised to take the party to greater heights, and work closely with the ANC in the interests of Joburg citizens.

“I intend to devote my time and energy to ensure that we make the vision of gaining control of Johannesburg a reality. We will take care of the people who entrust us to speak on their behalf, and ensure their interests and quality of life are improved and maintained.”

Da Gama said the party intended to meet the needs of the people through communication and dialogue at various public meetings throughout their constituencies in Gauteng.

Pressed on what would be his fi rst challenge if he were to become the new mayor, Da Gama said, “I will try and improve service delivery, which is fast becoming a big problem in Johannesburg.”�[email protected]

“Th e Nelson Mandela Bridge will be a colourful monument throughout the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ and beyond. Th is project aims to honour Madiba whom everyone has come to know as an icon. It’s one of the beautifi cation projects the city has embarked on and is a tourist destination,” said Zimu.

Whenever Bafana Bafana played, the team’s colours would be displayed on one side of the bridge, with those of the opposition team on the opposite side. However if Bafana didn’t make it to the next round, the bridge would continue to display diff erent colours every day.

One of the oldest features of democracy, majority rule, is fast proving to be the biggest impediment to members of the Democratic Alliance (DA) in the city council chambers when they attempt to make their voices heard.

Th is was revealed by Michael Sun, DA spokesman on by-law issues in Joburg.

According to Sun, a classic example was when the DA attempted to put in a motion at a city council monthly meeting for the urgent repair of potholes and malfunctioning traffi c lights. “Th is was rejected outright. Th is was going to decrease the municipality’s risk on damage claims and increased insurance premiums that are believed to be ballooning.’’

Sun also divulged that, he was recently phoned by 12 motorists who wanted to know the claim procedure, and said this was a sign that city council was spending astronomical amounts on claims despite having an insurance company that dealt with them.

A furious Sun said the purpose of the DA’s motion was simple. “Fix the potholes and traffi c lights. Every day our residents travel on roads full of potholes and very often traffi c congestion is caused as a result of malfunctioning traffi c lights. Both are hazardous and infl ict unnecessary danger on the public.”

He argued that potholes had no

political affi liation. “Th e motion is not intended to score any political points. It is simply an honest attempt to get the city council to take action and repair potholes. Let Johannesburg be a city of gold and not a city of holes,’’ said Sun.

Meanwhile, Nonceba Molwelwe, ANC chief whip in city council said the DA was playing politics. “Th ey have a tendency to raise an issue that has been reported and is in the process of being attended to. Potholes are reported every day and are being repaired fi nish and klaar.”

Th e DA has questioned the success of the proposed infrastructure development plan and asked whether the ANC’s goals were realistic.

Th is was in reaction to the MEC of Infrastructure Development, Faith Mazibuko’s 2010/2011 budget speech,

Patricia Mokgohlwa, the DA deputy spokesman for infrastructure, said, “Successful and prosperous property-owning democracies are not built on policies politically correct.

“Th ey must also be economically rational.”

Th e programme involved a number of plans to expand and improve infrastructure, and develop the industry and skills of the youth.

Th e anticipated rewards and costs of this programme have seemingly been underestimated. Th e DA believed benefi ts of an expanded infrastructure would be defeated years from now as the budget for maintenance was too low. “We should ensure that corrupt public servants are held criminally liable, and not given golden handshakes.

“Contractors previously employed demonstrated incompetence resulting in delayed completion and marked up prices after the deadline.”

Th e DA suggested that instead of creating temporary job opportunities, sustainable systems of apprenticeship should be implemented.�[email protected]

A plan of action has now pulled the Department of Infrastructure Development together as it embarks on a developmental project to better the lives of South Africans.

Th is was outlined by the MEC for Infrastructure Development, Faith Mazibuko during her budget speech. Among other things, she proposed an infrastructure development programme that would be implemented from the beginning of June.

It will tend to the country’s needs and aimed to fulfi l a promise of environmental, social and economic development.

Taxpayers’ money would be used to expand and maintain public and private buildings.

Th is programme would involve the collaboration of the municipalities, the government, various investors, the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and developing communities but most importantly the youth.

A national youth and service programme would be established to address the shortage of skilled artisans, engineers and architects. Th e programme would provide the youth with practical knowledge and a qualifi cation. In doing this the

unskilled youth would be encouraged to look to the construction industry as a breeding ground for career opportunities.

Th erefore, both skills and infrastructure development would take place simultaneously allowing proposed new building projects to be successfully launched and carried out.

Th e expanded public works programme (EPWP) ambitiously strived to provide one job per household and employ both the skilled and unskilled. Once the task of obtaining skilled communities was completed, there would be a priority to employ the disabled and particularly young women.

Th e capital works programme would take charge and allocate budgets and projects. Th e department hoped to complete 55 capital projects by the end of the fi nancial year. Over the next two to three years implementation management of rural development, agriculture, education, emergency services and infrastructure development would be constructed.

Th e department was confi dent that building expansion was the way forward. It strived to better the lives of disadvantaged youth and construct buildings that it could be proud of.�[email protected]

Opinion • 9Week ending 25 June 2010 FOURWAYS REVIEW

To date, there is no doubt that this beautiful city is proving skeptics wrong by hosting the 2010 Fifa World Cup™ matches successfully.

In the days preceding the tournament, the city centre was the picture of cleanliness, the streets buzzed with a palpable energy as citizens donned their South African colours with pride and blew their vuvuzelas with gusto in support of our national team. Blaring decibels of this instrument are still the order of the day. Even foreign fans love the cranked up volume to bits. Th e vuvuzela orchestra continues to reverberate, during matches involving foreign teams, and in some instances it’s heard in the wee hours of the morning.

For those who claim to be irritated by these sounds, think about the old adage, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’. Th is is a Mzansi thing and will remain so until the soccer spectacle is over.

Amid the excitement there remains one unresolved issue. Th e Bus Rapid

Transit (BRT) Rea Vaya system is fast proving to be an unreliable source of transport for soccer spectators. One minute they are working, and the next the drivers are planning to go on strike, as they did last week.

What also irritates is that on match days, regular commuters are stranded, with no alternate transport as all the buses are used to ferry fans to and from the stadiums. As a result, taxis are put under strain to transport dozens of passengers, who rely on the BRT service. Whoever is responsible for transport planning needs to review the whole transport plan, or the city’s economy will suff er.

To those who insist on using their cars despite a clarion call by authorities that cars should be left parked when going to matches, please heed the call to minimise gridlock.

To the city transport coordinators, Commuters will not accept lame excuses. Make the plan work for all fi nish and klaar. �[email protected]

Transport needs attention

Susan Mottram writes:A very big thank you to the people who sponsored our new gardens at the intersection of Douglas Drive and Leslie Avenue, the pilot project for Sector 4 community policing forum’s Adopt-a-Pavement programme.

Willem Maritz, owner of Palms for You on Witkoppen Drive, and his team fi nished planting the 1 300m² at this intersection on 16 June, after one week of back-breaking work.

Willem has gone more than the extra mile to make this intersection look so much better than before. Not

only has he planted hundreds of wild day lilies, wild garlic and agapanthus, and supplied all the composting, and bidem and gravel to make pathways, he has added about six large aloes, supplied a Community Policing Forum banner (free-of-charge) to say whose project this is, and, if possible, will install an irrigation system.

Willem supplied the plants at cost and the labour free-of-charge.

Many, many thanks to the gentlemen who pay the bill – three businessmen from Douglasdale, namely, Mike Schomalistis (owner of

Douglasdale shopping centre), Craig Nelson (owner of Douglasdale Pick n Pay) and Rodney Wolmer (owner of Exdev property management company which manages Douglasdale Village shopping centre).

Th e project has defi nitely caught the community’s attention as people are talking about it. While I stood there, people who drove past hooted their pleasure at us. It is through volunteer community action and funding like this that we hope to re-beautify our suburbs piece by piece.

Thank you all for a great clean-up effort

Scores of guests were excited to see legendary Brazilian soccer player Edson Arrantes do Nascimento (Pelé) at the unveiling of the Art of Pelé collection at Artnet Gallery Melrose Arch.

Artist Athol Moult produced 35 original artworks about the life story of Pelé.

Pelé spoke in a heavy accent when talking about his humble beginnings. One of the canvases, For peanuts, referred to the time team Sete Setembro needed kits to move off the streets and play on real soccer fi elds. “We sold peanuts at train stations

to buy boots. I used to play soccer in the streets. Th anks peanuts, you changed my life,” said Pelé with a smile. Pelé was excited to be in South Africa for the 2010 Fifa World Cup™. “Africa has good players. Th is is the fi rst time the World Cup has been held here and this is a great opportunity.” He added that players had to be strong-minded during matches. “Football is a game of surprises. Sometimes the best players and the best teams lose. Players have to concentrate and be strong in their mind. I hope Brazil reaches the fi nals with an African team.”�[email protected]

Did you know?�In his illustrious career Pelé had many titles bestowed on him, including:�1987 – Fifa Fair Play Ambassador�1995 – Ambassador for Unesco at the Goodwill Games�1998 - Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire�1999 – Athlete of the Century�1999 – Time Magazine’s Heroes and Icons, 100 most infl uential people in the 20th Century �1999 – Reuters Sportsman of the Century�2000 – Fifa Football Player of the Century

SUPPORT: Counsellor team leader Linda Ncapayi consoles a patient at Witkoppen Health and Welfare Centre.

REVIEW REPORTER

Feed a Family is an organisation that provides underprivileged families in squatter camps a loaf of bread and a litre of milk.

Many families in squatter camps are unemployed, which means hungry children, undernourished pregnant mothers and young new mothers. “Th ey wait for our visits so that they can nourish their bodies. It actually hurts us when all our bread and milk is handed out because there are still thousands of unfed people who look at us with disappointment, because it means another hungry day,” said the organisation’s Malcolm Poovan.

Feed a Family aims to alleviate the poverty, crime and HIV in society and feels it can reach more

people when their stomachs are full rather than empty.

“Let’s get South Africans to rally around feeding underprivileged people and be a blessing to those less fortunate.

“It cost just R13 per day to feed a family. It’s not a lot of money. However, the impact your R13 can have on the South African population is priceless. I remember the fi rst day my friend and I went into a camp and fed families. Th e warm feeling it gave us when we left, also the looks on their faces, especially the children, when we were leaving, made us pledge to make this our life long mission to feed people,” Poovan added.

With the support of non-profi t organisation Right to Care, people diagnosed HIV-positive are assured of free counselling and antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

Th e section 21 organisation is affi liated to more than 100 hospitals and clinics in fi ve of South Africa’s provinces, including Johannesburg’s Witkoppen Health and Welfare Centre in William Nicol Drive and OR Tambo Clinic in Diepsloot.

Right to Care was founded in 2001 and is funded chiefl y by grants from the US government through the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief which is managed by the US Agency for International Development.

With stable fi nancial aid, Right to Care provides support and treatment to HIV-positive individuals who cannot aff ord medical care.

“Individuals in much of the northern parts of Johannesburg who seek help with or treatment for HIV have multiple sites from which they can choose to seek clinical assistance,” said communications offi cer for Right to Care, Bruce Conradie.

A 44-year-old patient at the Witkoppen Health and Welfare Centre, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was grateful to Right to Care and the centre for their assistance since discovering she was HIV positive in July 2009.

“I am healthy now and happy,” she said. Witkoppen Health and Welfare Centre’s counsellor team leader, Linda Ncapayi said the patient’s recovery was especially noticeable since she also had TB when she fi rst visited the centre.”

Guests mingled to the sounds of the Vienna String Duo while admiring the

Th e auction raised R156 000 for the fund, with some special items creating a bidding frenzy.

Th e framed Sunfl owers of Hope print received a record bid of R25 000. Th e original was painted by Corlett while in isolation after a bone marrow transplant.

Jose Mortagua successfully made a bid for a yellow and white gold bracelet which he immediately placed on his wife Fatima’s arm. Fatima has leukaemia and is searching for her lifesaving donor.

Th e evening was also a fi tting tribute to Sunfl ower Fund chief executive offi cer Tina Botha and the work she began years ago while searching for a bone marrow stem cell donor for her son Corlett. �[email protected]

It’s Saturday night and people from all round Johannesburg have come to lend support to local act Th e Arrows at Tanz Café in the Buzz shopping centre, Bryanston. Music lovers took to the warmth away from the freezing outdoors to see the group perform before their big six-month tour to the USA.

With a combination of drums, bass guitar and keyboard on the settings of a classical piano, the band pieced together a sound of modern jazz fused with an old-school disco funk attitude.

Instruments aside, the music was defi ned by

vocalist Pam DeMenezes sharp and heart-felt singing abilities, accompanied with much movement and kicking around the stage.

Active audience participation was encouraged while the band jammed out tracks as if telling a story.

Universal Music consultant Benjy Mudie was extremely proud of the group and certainly did not regret signing a record deal for the album they were promoting that night.

Th e band was continuously requested to stay on stage albeit several explanations that they were on a tight schedule and playing their last song. �[email protected]

REVIEW REPORTER

While the Gauteng Horse Society team didn’t fare well due to various mishaps, young Tamsin Daniels made up for it by winning the SA Pony Rider Eventing Championship 2010 on her trusted pony,

Kavalier. Tamsin started on an excellent dressage score of 54.4 lying second at that stage after fellow Gauteng rider Mikaela Nicolau went on to unfortunately be eliminated in the cross-country phase. Tamsin had a beautiful clear round in the country, putting her into fi rst place

which was where she stayed in spite of four penalties in the show jumping phase. Th e SA Pony Rider Team trophy went to Western Province and Eastern Cape in a tie, with KwaZulu Natal third and Gauteng fourth.�[email protected]

Tamsin jumps high

WINNER: Tamsin Daniels jumping to SA glory on Kavalier.

REVIEW REPORTER

Th e Gauteng Showing Team took top honours as the fi rst of the team results emerged after the team showing class at Kyalami Equestrian Park.

Team members were Marisa Cetinich and Laurence Mowatt from Beaulieu, Alexandra Claasen from Dainfern, Georgina Cross of Craighall and Danielle Nortje of Bryanston with Chelsey Gertenbach from Kyalami as reserve. In the individual classes, Cetinich’s pony Caegwyn Regency Buck was awarded Champion Working Riding Pony with Nortje’s Waterside Twickers achieving Reserve Champion Working Riding Pony.�[email protected]

Horse riders gather momentum

PRIDE AND GLORY: Gauteng Showing Team fl anked by judge

MATTHEW WOOD

Inquina are back, and this time the Fourways rugby squad took on the Johannesburg police at Fourways high school.

Th e afternoon kicked off with a thunderous match from the U20 sides. Managers Bishop Vismer and Remi Clarke were very laid back as

Inquina racked up a 47-17 win. Glory for Inquina continued when the third team won 12-3, the game ending early due to an abundance of injuries sustained by the opposition.

Inquina’s luck and skill remained consistent throughout the afternoon allowing the second team a 35-15 win. However, as the sun started to sink the competition began to stiff en for

the fi rst teams. By half time Inquina were leading a promising game but as darkness settled the opposition took over leaving Inquina with a 22-29 loss. Th e next match will be against Edenvale at Fourways high school starting from midday. Members of the public are encouraged to play for or support the team.�[email protected]

With schools closed for the duration of the World Cup, young hands become idle.

But the Urban X skate park in Sunninghill has big plans to keep boredom at bay until the end of July, while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are keeping active in a safe, friendly environment.

During the winter weeks there will be development clinics, awesome BMX, skate, rollerblading and dance

competitions, parkour and free-running workshops, movie nights, under-18 parties, and much more.

For those needing some rest, chill on the couches in the gaming zone and play some of the latest Playstation titles.

Owner of Urban X, Melody Tuson explained the parties were drug-and alcohol-free. “Sandton police has given its support, and will be around to ensure a safe environment,” she said.

Skaters will be interested to know that Tony Hawk has enjoyed a session

at Urban X, and spent time with a horde of local fans who fl ocked to the park once they discovered he was there.

“One of the older skaters here chatted with Tony on the Internet. He said how he just wanted to have a regular, chilled skating session again, and was invited to our park,” said Tuson.

Urban X has an exciting calendar of events planned, just give them a call or visit the skate park at Sunninghill Village shopping centre for more info.

Prolifi c Caxton Cobras striker Ishaq Ismail’s love for soccer goes far beyond the pitch.

Marlboro’s Ismail has since 2004 collected over 200 soccer balls, a collection that continues to grow.

He believes it to be the biggest soccer ball collection in Southern Africa.

His collection is made up of every Fifa World Cup™ match ball since the tournament in Mexico in 1970, and every UEFA Champions League

match and fi nal ball since the introduction of the star ball.

He also has offi cial league, team, training and skill soccer balls he bought from Fifa, UEFA, soccer clubs and federations, and other collectors around the world.

With assistance from his nephews Aadil and Uzair, Ismail ensures the balls are well displayed, but space will always remain an issue for the ever-growing collection.

With this World Cup fi nal in Joburg, Ismail is hoping to get his hands on the offi cial Jo’bulani

UNIQUE: Ishaq Ismail lies among the hundreds of soccer balls he has collected over the past six years.

He’s a man with ballsfi nal match ball which will be used on July 11.

“To get my hands on the fi nal ball with the date and country names printed on it will indeed be a dream come true.”

Th e colourful and unique collection remains his pride and joy and Ismail will now look at space alternatives to accommodate his expensive hobby.�[email protected]
