GREEN POINT

Wrecking ball to SomersetNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

About 35 buildings have been ear-marked for demolition in the develop-ment of the Somerset precinct.

This is part of the provincial govern-ment’s plan to redevelop the precinct.The Helen Bowden Nurses Home site is

the first of four parcels of land in the Somer-set precinct to be released for development.The empty home on this site, situated next

to Fort Wynyard and the Green Point com-mon, is currently zoned as public openspace. It will be demolished to make way fora 14-storey development which will includeretail, office and residential space.Themajority of buildings surrounding the

site are historic buildings and warehouses

of five floors or less, Green Point Ratepay-ers’Association spokespersonLukeStevenspreviously toldPeople’s Post (“Making spacefor progress”, 3 April 2014).“Fort Wynyard, with its heritage-protect-

ed viewing arc, lies immediately behind thesite. The visual insult of one or more build-ings of 14 floors will effectively blockadeFort Wynyard, if not also the stadium. Theproposal’s disregard for an interface beyondthe site edge at the north and west cornersrisks permanently excising another entirechunk of land from the remainder of GreenPoint common,” he says.

Noteworthy buildingsLand rights have already been secured for

the property, including the title and subdivi-sion, says Siphesihle Dube, spokesperson

for provincial minister of public works Do-nald Grant. A rezoning application will besubmitted in August.Only five of the buildingswhichhave been

proposed for demolition have a heritagegrading of 3B or 3C, says Dube.“Of the buildings indicated, five buildings

have been assigned a heritage grading ofsome or limited heritage significance,” hesays.However, various other noteworthy build-

ings will be incorporated into the develop-ment, Dube says, including the Old Somer-setHospital (northblock), theVictoriaNurs-es Home, the Old City Hospital, the OldMortuary, the Cape Medical Museum, thehospital workshops, some of the old CityHospital wards and the dispensary.“Thesebuildings, or elements thereof,will

be renovated to heritage specification andeither the future surrounding developmentset back from these buildings or, where onlyparts of such buildings require preserva-tion, adaptive reusewill have these buildingelements incorporated into parts of the newdevelopment,” he says.Increased heritage grading was suggested

for a number of the properties on the site ina recent heritage impact assessment reportand demolition was supported for variousstructures considered to have little heritagevalue.The Ratepayers’ Association has since re-

quested a site visit to view nine of the listedbuildings which are recommended for dem-olition.The Association declined to comment fur-

ther until after this site visit.

App is very neighbourlyTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Life is really too short to have to wait toget information or be able to talk to yourneighbours.This is what the developer of the OurHood

app, Bruce Good, believes. OurHood wasfounded by Good and WillMellor, who are based inWoodstock.This state-of-the-art appli-

cation and website help resi-dents to connect with theirneighbours immediately, inreal time.The ideabehind thiswas to

get people involved withtheir neighbours and givethem the ability to communi-cate in a faster way. He saysthe app makes it easy to gethelp quickly – be it if yourdog has gone missing or youjust want to borrow a ladderor to find out the load shedding schedule.Good says itwill help neighbours share in-

formation to help improve their neighbour-hoods and make them safe.“Our aim was to fight crime. This will al-

low for safer neighbourhoods as people canget assistance in the blink of an eye, as theyare able to communicate in real time. Thiswill allow them to share things and get toknow their neighbourhood and their neigh-bours because themore people talk theywillbe closer to each other,” he says.The apphas a very strict verification proc-

ess for registration. This will allow peoplein the neighbourhoods to connect much eas-ier and not allow people who don’t belong in

the same neighbourhood.Instead of posting a notice in a shopping

mall, this new app gives space for it and alsohas a section for important numbers.People can report crime, neighbours can

buy and sell items and share events.“Everything is just one click away.We are

also promoting the spirit of sharing. If youwant to go camping but don’thave a campingmattress andsomeone in the area has it,you can just post on thereand someone will help youquickly. The whole idea is toconnect neighbourhoods andpromote safer communities.When people interact theywill be safer communities,”says Good.Since the app was

launched last yearmore than800 neighbourhoods havestarted using it.“People like it because

they can reach each othercheaply and quickly. People are so amazedby it and it has unlocked new possibilitiesthat theydidn’t knowabout theirneighbour-hoods,” he says.Adrian Good, ADT general manager, fully

supports the OurHood app and is excited tobe part of it. “We decided to get behind thisinitiative because we recognise the value inreal time connection. In this day and age it’scrucial thatwe knowand trust the peoplewesee daily. Having a platform that allows forconstructive communication while promot-ing a safe and secure neighbourhood is ad-vantageous to all,” says Good.V The app is free and can be downloaded at www.ourhood.co.za, on the Apple store or Google Play store.

Phones have become an essential part ofour daily lives.With technology advancing every day,

some are also working tirelessly to en-sure that no-one is left out of this worldof ever-evolving technology.Vodacom, in partnership with the

Cape Town Society of the Blind (CTSB)in Salt River, created a unique kiosk tobring the benefits of the latest smart-phones to the blind.The kiosk, launched on Tuesday last

week, will be operated by CTSB stafftrained to demonstrate the advantages oftext-to-speech software on the latesttouchscreen phones.The CTSB will also benefit financially

from the sale of starter packs, M-pesaand airtime at the kiosk.The text-to-speech function makes it

easier for visually impaired people tocommunicate using their smartphones.It is nowbuilt into the phone,making lifemuch easier for users.

PrivacyVisually impaired Michelle Botha (27)

uses an iPhone 5 and says this initiativeis great because, nowadays, communica-tion doesn’t happen verbally anymore.“Weare able to connect and checkwhat’shappening on social media. Gone are thedays when we used to ask someone toreada text forus.Nowwehaveourpriva-cy and we can make use of the speechfunction to listen to themessages thatweget as well as to respond,” she says.While using a smartphone when visu-

ally impaired isn’t a walk on the park,Botha says the most important thing isto play with your phone and get to knowit.“It’s just like any other flatscreen

phone that anyone can use. But we haveto know the icons so that it will be easyto use the phone. But the speech texts re-ally help a lot,” she says.Lizelle van Wyk, CEO of CTSB, says

this is a great milestone that they havebeen waiting years for.“What we like most about these

phones is that the visually impaired arefreed from being dependent. There arespecially built apps that will allow themto know exactly where they are or whento catch a bus, get printed texts, listen tobooks and be able to read news and beup to date on what’s happening aroundthem.Most of all it will help themaccom-plish important tasks. The kiosk will re-ally help in bridging the gap between thevisually impaired and those who are notblind,” says Van Wyk.

One-stopAlbert Breed, managing executive of

Vodacom Western Cape, says it’s won-derful that they are able to put some-thing together to benefit people who arevisually impaired.“It enhances the people’s lives so that

they can do all the things that normalpeople can do. Thiswill unlock theworldof reading and the internet and they willnow be able to functionmuchmore effec-tively,” says Breed.Vincent Daniel, CTBS public aware-

ness officer, says the partnership isworking towards making the kiosk aone-stop space for everything.“This will really help a lot of people

that are blind. In the past people strug-gled to use their phones and they had toask for help, but that will be a thing ofthe past. These phones are enabling usto do things on our own and we are en-couraging people to make use of the ki-osk to enrich their lives and to keep con-nected,” says Daniel.

Sewage nothing newNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Sewage outflows in the sea at Green Pointand Camps Bay are nothing new, the

council says, after a permit application wasadvertised to allow the discharge of effluentwater into the sea there.

Cape Town is currently operating threelong sea outfalls, with the third in Hout Bay.

At a recent ward 54 committee meeting,City officials explained that these outfallshave been operating for many years and ex-pel roughly 5% of all the water treated at theCity’s water treatment plants.

The Green Point outfall sees on average900m litres expelled each month. This is dis-charged 1.7km out to sea at a depth of 30 me-ters. The effluent water is treated before itis discharged, with any solid mass biggerthan 3mm removed.

A similar process is followedwith the 79mlitres expelled monthly at Camps Bay, withthe discharge taking place 1.3km off thecoast.

Divers regularly inspect the pipeline and

regular tests for E.coli levels are carried out.Although details of the permit have not

been made public, the paperwork comes asa result of a shift in national governmentrather than changes to the City’s wasteman-agement, says mayoral committee memberfor utility services Ernest Sonnenberg.

This new application relates to a changein the licensing requirements for marinesewage outfalls. Despite already having ex-isting licenced marine outfalls, the City wasrequired by the Integrated Coastal Manage-mentAct toundertake apublic participationprocess, Sonnenberg says.

“This process has been the source of con-fusion around whether the outfalls were li-censed and previously existed or not. Thenecessary paperwork for these outfalls hasbeen in place for the past 30 years. This newprocess is simply the City bringing opera-tions in line with the new regulatory frame-work. Furthermore, sewage is preliminarilytreated, regular monitoring on three coast-lines takes place, and there is no indicationor evidence that the outfalls impact nega-tively on the marine surf zones.”

Taxis fined in traffic blitzNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Speedsters and traffic offenders werestopped in their tracks during a trafficoperation in Sea Point and Green Pointon Thursday last week.

The operation was part of ongoing ef-forts to keep public transport in check,says ward councillor Jacques Weber.

This comes in response to numerouscomplaints about taxis committing traf-fic offences in the ward.

Although the operations primarily fo-cus on taxis, residents breaking trafficlaws are also taken to task, he says.

Sea Point City Improvement chief op-

erations officerHeatherTager says taxiscan often be seen stopping illegally, driv-ing through red robots or makingU-turns. “It impacts on traffic flow,which is already under stress due to anumber of new developments going up.”

About 130 taxis were impounded lastyear,Weber says, with about 700 fines is-sued a month.

On Thursday, numerous fines were is-sued to taxis and illegally parkedmotor-ists.

One taxi was impounded and a noticewas issued to an unroadworthy vehicle.Two motorists were fined for talking ontheir cellphones, which were impound-ed.

SALT RIVER

City gives tohomeless sheltersThe Multi-service Centre in Pickwick

Road in Salt River is one of 17 sheltersthat will benefit from the City budget to im-prove the lives of the homeless this winter.At a briefingheld inMaitland, SuzetteLit-

tle, mayoral committee member for socialdevelopment and early childhood develop-ment, announced the list of NGOs that willbenefit from aid to the tune of more thanR600 000 to help street people seeking shel-ter this winter. This is part of the City’spreparations for this year’s winter.The City will be distributing aid in the

form of blankets, mattresses, non-perisha-ble food, toiletries and other things to theNGOs to increase their capacity to dealwiththe number of street people seeking shelterand help during the winter months.

Budget doubledThis year, the social development and ear-

ly childhood development directorate hasmore than doubled its budget for the pro-gramme, fromR280 000 last year to just overR600 000 this year.The 17 shelters thatwill benefit are situat-

ed across the city, including SomersetWest,Bellville, Elsies River, Retreat, Wynberg,Woodstock and Green Point.“Theweather service has predicted above

normal rainfall and lower thannormalmax-imumtemperatures into early spring, so theshelters are going to be extremely busy. Wehope that our winter programme will helpto lighten the load and put the shelters ina position to assist every person who needshelp.“I also appeal to street people to make use

of the services available to them. Yes, theshelters come with rules and regulations,but that has to be abetter option than tryingto sleep rough in near freezing tempera-tures,” said Little.

Keeping them off the streetsIn addition to providing aid to shelters,

the City will continue its daily interven-tions aimed at securing more long-lastingsolutions for street people who want help.The directorate’s fieldworkers are de-

ployed across Cape Town to engage withstreet people and facilitate access to servi-ces for them.The directorate’s reintegration unit is

nowalso in its sixthmonth of operation andhelps street people return to their commu-nities of origin and to ensure that they havethe necessary support to prevent a returnto the streets.“We are reminding our residents to

please give responsibly. Parting with someloose change at an intersection or outsidethe mall keeps that individual on the streetand therefore vulnerable to the elements.“Please make a concerted effort to sup-

port shelters or other civic organisationsinstead, so that we can all contribute tomaking ameaningful difference in the livesof those who find themselves on thestreets,” added Little.Contact theCity on 0800 872 201 to find out

how you can donate to organisations thathelp street people. Alternatively, SMS“Give” to 38802 to donate R10. The fundswill be used to supplement the street peopleprogramme.

DE WATERKANT

Stairway to the cityNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

After years of renovations, andseveral delays, the De Smidt

Street steps have been officiallyopened.Renovations to the steps, which

runbetweenLoader Street andWa-terkant Street, were recently com-pleted to the tune of over R1m.Last year, the contractor reno-

vating the stairs stopped construc-tion after going into liquidationand a new contractor had to be ap-pointed after another tender proc-ess.The original steps posed a major

safety risk for the pedestrians andresidents in the area. The exact ageof the structure is uncertain, but itis accepted that it was built in thelate 19th century.The steps have heritage value

and the rehabilitation had to con-form to aesthetic specificationslaid out by HeritageWestern Cape.

Step up to gangplankThe steps used to act as a walk-

way to the harbour for ship mer-chants, says De Waterkant CivicAssociation chairperson IanMcmahon.Ship owners who lived about the

steps inDeWaterkantwouldwatch

for the ships to come into the har-bour from their homes. Once theyhad docked, the merchants woulduse the steps and the main accesspoint to the harbour, Mcmahon ex-plains.The Green Point Improvement

District will soon be reinstallinglighting around the steps too, saysCEO Marc Truss.“We will be redoing the lighting

around the steps shortly to ensurethat they are well lit and can beused at any hour. We will also con-tinue our regular patrols in the ar-ea, paying particular attention tothe steps, now that they will beused by pedestrians,” he says.

Sea Pointguards catchremote jammersSea Point Improvement Districtguards have foiled a thief pre-paring to use a remote jammingdevice.The organisation has noticed

an increase in theft out of carswith the use of these devices,chief operations officerHeatherTager says.They received a tip-off on Fri-

day that three suspicious maleswith remote devices were oper-ating in front of Absa bank inSea Point, she explains.“The Improvement District

control room was notified andthe information was passed on-to our CCTV controller. Thesuspectswere detected and thenmonitored by the ImprovementDistrict cameraswhichare situ-ated in key areas across the pre-cinct,” she says.

EvidenceDuring the apprehension one

of the suspects threw the jam-ming devices up into the air andthen kicked them into the road,hoping to avoid arrest.“Our officials immediately

saw this and retrieved themfrom the road, which will nowbe used as evidence in court,”Tager says.“The suspects were brought

back to the Improvement Dis-

trict base, where they weresearched. Numerous itemswere found in their possession.”During this time, an Improve-

ment District officer remainedat the car until the owner ar-rived so that he could tell himwhat had taken place.

Positive ID“The owner was asked to

check whether all was in orderandhe verified that hisGPS andother items were missing. Hewas requested to come to the Im-provement District office toidentify his articles,” she says.“On positive identification

the Sea Point police were calledto take the suspects to the policestation and the owner opened acase,” she says.Tager recommends people do

not just walk away from theircar once pressing their remote– they must check the car tomake sure that it is indeedlocked.“This incident further high-

lights how successful the imple-mentation of licence plate rec-ognition and overview camerashave been within the area to en-sure that residents and visitorsto the area can come to the areaand know that ‘Big Brother haseyes on them’,” she says.

Drive-by art celebrates Cape prideASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

A Hout Bay resident has gone the extramile to elevate people to let them, for a

moment, feel some magic and wonder forour world.And he has done this by “lighting up” the

“dark, eerie” Rhodes Drive.Bryan Little, a filmmaker and director at

Fly on the Wall art collective, used reflectortape and signage he designed to entertainmotorists.The initiative, called Endemic, is aimed to

inspire people to think about our naturalheritage and recognise the wonder in theworld again.“Endemic in conservation biology means

the animals and plants found here are foundnowhere else in the world; they are uniqueto the Western Cape and the fynbos biome.The truth is that in the fynbosplantkingdomwe have some of the richest biodiversity inthe world,” he says.

Glow in the darkLittle says the idea came from frequently

travelling on Rhodes Drive towards hishome in Hout Bay. He wanted to give some-thing back to the “dark, eerie” road for allthe inspiration it has given him over theyears.Little says the reflector tape idea came

about almost by accident, as hewas thinkingabout how to interact with cars. He startedthinking about signage and noticed thatsome signs glow in the dark.“I tracked down the tape and when taking

a photo of it in the hardware shop, I had theflash on by mistake and the tape literallypopped with light. I knew then I was on tosomething,” he says.Little loves the fact that the reflector tape

requires light towork and that it is normallyused as a warning signal. Our natural heri-tage is our most valuable resource, so weneed to start listening to the warning signs,he feels.As far as he knows, this is the first time

that something like his project has beendone. “I have looked extensively on the in-ternet and found nothing like it in theworld,” he says.Asked why he chose Rhodes Drive specifi-

cally, he says it is an interesting stretch ofroad: “It’s very special that we can have aroad that feels so remote and wild right inthe middle of a major city.“On the one side we have Table Mountain

National Park and on the other suburbia. Itis also a contentious space in terms of con-servation, with the mandate of the NationalPark to remove all alien trees being chal-lenged by peoplewho feel that the shade pro-

vided and the inherent beauty of the treesmake them immune to the call for biodiversi-ty,” he says.Little says the Cape Peninsula alone sup-

ports 2200 species, more than the entire Unit-ed Kingdom.Although fynbos comprises only 6% of

southern African land, it contains half theplant species of the subcontinent and repre-sents almost 20% of all African plant species.

MethodicalHe started theEndemic projectwith the pic-

ture of a single owl mounted against a tree in2013, to test the durability and viability of theidea. Then in September last year he placedseven more creatures to see what the re-sponse would be and whether people wouldremove the pieces.“I was very methodical about the different

testing phases because, as a filmmaker, I amexploring newways of telling stories and thisproject ismy first foray intowhat I call ‘futurefilm’.“As such, I am trying to explore and rein-

vent specific elements of filmmaking,” hesays.Little deliberately kept it simple and only

played with certain elements si that by re-moving the camera and placing the audienceinto the experience he made it site-specific –“You have to be there and let the car’s motion

be the element of time and narrative.”“I worked closely with sound artist Syl-

van Aztok (SimonKohler), in order to posi-tion and geotag the different species andscenes. It was a delicate balancing act, cre-ating different environments and timingthe speed of the car with sound elements,”he says.

Less abstractThe project will exist until the species

disappear or until the signs are removedfrom the sites for whatever reason.This is something that he has built into

the project on purpose. “People get reallyupset when the creatures ‘go missing’, my-self included, and I feel that it is appropri-ate that people feel that loss. It makes the

idea of species extinction a little less ab-stract,” he says.“The fact that someone can feel sadness,

anger, even frustration over something aselusive as say, a Table Mountain ghost frog,means that I feel I have succeeded, as manyof these endemic species are endangered andsome critically endangered. The geometrictortoise, for example, only has a few hun-dred left in the world,” he says.Little has been asked to do something sim-

ilar in India and Reunion and has been ap-proached by the Endangered Wildlife Trustto expand theEndemic initiative into anoffi-cial project for them, which Little finds veryexciting.“I would love for it to grow and perhaps

have a life of its own,” he adds.

Pupils educated on bullyingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

The topic of bullying is often neglected,leading to victims committing suicide as

there is no-one to help or listen to themThis according Beverly Davids, the

founder of the Chauncey’s Epic anti-bully-ing club which was formed to help pupils,teachers and the community as a whole.The aim of her awareness campaign is to

educate pupils about the effects bullying hason the victims, their families, loved ones andfriends.Davids spoke to pupils at Sunderland Pri-

mary School in Kensington recently encour-aging them to speak out about bullying.She urges pupils to inform three people

immediately if they are being bullied. Thesethree people are the teachers, the principal,and then the parents. She adds that this willhelp tomake sure that someonewho is beingbullied is helped faster.“This is a serious problem that has to be

dealt with. Parents must learn to talk totheir kids. Many times parents are workingand they come home tired and stressed out;they don’t even have time to talk to theirkids and hear if there is anything botheringthem. This leads to kids suffering in silence.“I’m glad that I’m doing my bit to educate

people on the dangers of bullying. If I canchange one mind then my job at that placeis done,” she says.The idea of this anti-bullying campaign

came about after Davids’s sonwas bullied inGrade 7.She says she watched her child suffer and

change in front of her eyes while he sufferedsevere bullying at his school. Despite report-ing thebullying, no-one couldhelpherorherson with the matter.“Hewasbeaten on the ground to the extent

that his lipwas torn. I remember howhewas

picked up by the collar by the police. No-onestood up for my child, no-one could protecthim. That painedme a lot. At every door thatI turned to no-one could help my son – to theextent that I had to take him and his sisterout of school,” she says.Now Davids’s job is to be an ear and help

those that are bullied to dealwith it. She alsowants to tell people to be aware of how bully-ing starts.Since Chauncey’s Epic anti-bullying club

started, Davids has spread hermessage at 12schools around Cape Town.In a statement, Debbie Schaffer, provin-

cial minister for education, says it saddensher that bullying is a real issue in many ofour schools. The department views bullyingin a very serious light.The Safe Schools call centre received 45

calls about bullying last year, andnine so farthis year.“Unfortunately, many cases of bullying go

unreported and the education department istherefore not able to intervene. I thereforeurge parents and pupils to report any formof bullying immediately to their class teach-er, school principal or to the Safe Schoolshotline, so that we can respond.“The Safe Schools hotline is available to

schools, teachers, parents and pupils to re-port all school crime and abuse, and aims tocontribute to a safe and crime-free school en-vironment,” she says.V The Safe Schools call centre can be reached at 080045 46 47.

TOURISM

A picture-perfectcaffeine kickNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Cape Town and coffee have morein common than providing en-

joyment to on-trend hipsters itseems.This as the Mother City is

crowned the darling of global coffeeculture as the destination featuresin a bi-annual magazine released byluxury coffee brand Nespresso.Joining 12 other world-renowned

destinations, Cape Town is oncemore in the world’s spotlightthrough the magazine’s editorialspread of places to visit, eat and, ofcourse, drink coffee in the city.

Cape coffee cultureCape Town, as the first African

city to ever feature in themagazine,was a natural fit for the brand, ex-plains Pierre Debayle, NespressoMiddle East, Africa and Caribbeanregional manager.“A lot of thought goes into the se-

lection of the featured city in eachedition ofNespressoMagazine. CapeTown was a natural fit for Nespres-so. With its strong heritage, the cityhas managed to create its own iden-tity and cultivate a culture alignedto a global audience,” he says.But don’t let the hipsters fool you,

enjoying coffee is an age-old tradi-tion in South Africa due to ourmany European influences, Debay-le says.Immigrants from Portugal,

France, Italy and the Netherlandshave all shaped our coffee culture,which has blended with the moderntrend of restaurants brewing theirown coffee.The city boasts a range of coffee

styles, eachwithmeanings andmes-sages, Belinda Walker, mayoralcommittee member for communityservices and special projects, ex-plained at the magazine launch.“Cape Town has slave coffee, as

seen at Truth coffee shop at thePrestwich memorial, ethical coffeewhere shops source and roast theirown beans, and steam punk coffee,”she says.

Developing marketsAlthough Cape Town’s mountain,

sea and vineyards make it a primedestination, the attraction lies inthe mix of cultures and the local en-ergy to explore new trends, from de-

sign to music to food, Debayle be-lieves.SouthAfrica is a steadily growing

market, as luxury brands and quali-ty coffee become more accessible toa range of race and class groups, De-bayle says.“We’re widening our target group

because coffee culture is expanding.We’re embracing the diversity ofthe market.”This includes a variety of coffees

aimed at new palates, which moveaway from the traditionally strongand black coffee, Debayle says.“Quality of life is very important

to South Africans. Quality coffeewith good conversations is impor-tant,” he says.

Giving backThe future of coffee lies in not just

growing local markets, but in sus-tainable and ethical farming, Daba-yle says.This is why the brand has made

a choice to take care of the entireproduction chain, from the coffeefields to drinkers.“We only buy the best beans,” he

says. “Only 10%of that amount goestowardsmaking our gourmet coffee.Our engineers have compiled bestpractice guides, which we sharewith our farmers.”This includes biodiversity tips, as

coffee trees grow best in an environ-ment with other plants.Thebrandpayspremiumrates for

coffee, but also works on projects toimprove the lives of coffee farmers.As an example of this, the companyrecently instituted a pensionscheme for farmers in Columbia,Debayle says.

This responsible behaviour hasfiltered through to the consumerlevel, with each coffee podmade outof aluminium,which is 95%recycla-ble.“Aluminium is infinitely recycla-

ble and we’ve engaged with the pri-vate sector to develop a machinethat separates the aluminium andthe coffee grounds,” he explains.And the pods can be handed in at

any of the over 400 Nespresso bou-tique stores around the world to besent for recycling.

A taste of Cape TownThe magazine is distributed to

over one million Nespresso Clubmembers worldwide in almost 60countries.This kind of exposure will earn

Cape Town a big tourism boost, De-bayle believes.“Our clients travel regularly and

this magazine is fantastic exposurefor Cape Town. The content reflectsa selection of local club memberswho provide a guide of the city.They give our readers the secrets ofthe city, not just the popular touristspots,” he says.And for those looking for a taste

of the Mother City, Debayle alreadyhas her pegged.“Cape Town is a cappuccino with

intense espresso flavours, madefrom an India blend with notes ofspices like nutmeg and black pep-per. Themilk foamneeds to be thereto represent the fog that sometimesrolls in off the sea and there is atouch of African cocoa on top. Andit should be drunk in a tall glass, toget you through the cold winters,”he says.

Peek inside Egyptian treasuresCapetonianwill have the opportu-nity to explore the mysteries ofancient Egypt on their doorstepthis winter holiday.The international exhibition

“Tutankhamun – His tomb andhis treasures” atGrandWest givesvisitors the unique opportunity toexperience the treasures of anEgyptian tomb at its moment ofdiscovery.The display begins with a pre-

sentation illustrating the story be-hind the exploration and excava-tion by British archaeologist Ho-ward Carter, the history ofTutankhamun, and the culture ofancient Egypt.The exhibition has faithfully re-

constructed the tomb of Tutank-hamun to scale. There are over1000 reconstructed burial treas-

ures produced by the finest Egyp-tian craftsmen under scientificsupervision. Coupled with state-of-the art technology and videomaterial, they provide an illustra-tion of the culture and spiritualworld of the ancient Egyptians.Visitors will also discover whatthese historical finds reveal aboutthe religion, deities, dynastiesand mysterious hieroglyphics ofthe empire on the Nile.This exhibition offers visitors a

Songs a present to fansLOUISA STEYL

@LouNotes

Cape Town blues rockers CrimsonHouse want to give their new album

away.The band members, who are preparing

to release their third album, Come alive,have decided that instead of selling theirnew release at their launch, they’d like to“gift” the album in digital and physicalformats to new and existing fans.“We wanted to get the music out there,

that’s it,” says Crimson House frontmanRiaan Smit.He says the band doesn’t want to have

to sell the album at one show at a time orhave to fight with distributors and labelsto get it “in the hands of the people wemade it for”.One of the songs on the already com-

pleted album is called “Give it all away”,in which Riaan sings about his soul notbeing “for sale”. “Iwanted to standbehindthat lyric, and this music is my soul, ourcollective souls, and we’re not for sale.”While the recording of Come alive has

already been paid for by regular showsover aperiod of twoyears, CrimsonHousehas partnered with South African crowd-funding company Thundafund to raisemoney to print and distribute the album.Through its Thundafund campaign,

Crimson House fans or “pledgers” canchoose a number of pledge options, fromR100,whichbuys adigital download of thealbum once it’s released, or R150, whichbuys a digital copy of all three CrimsonHouse albumsand a printed version of thenew one, to more expensive options thatbuy merchandise and dinner with theband. An extremely generous fan mightconsider the R100 000 pledge, which buysthe band’s banjo player, Arno van Zyl, orAra as he’s affectionately known, for anight “no questions asked”.Come alive was recorded at Jo Ellis’s

Blueroom Studios in Ladismith. Jo hap-pens to be Riaan’s grandmother’s neigh-

bour and worked on his cousin WilliamWelfare’s (previously Willem Welsyn) al-bum.Riaan describes the recording process

as an amazing journey, despite a roughstart.Theyhad already lost a day of recording

time when they started with their firstsession after Riaan got arrested for spee-ding on his way to Ladismith while liste-ning to the Black Cat Bones’s new album.“I got carried away in a head bang with

Ara and missed the sign.”The detour wasn’t a complete waste,

though. Riaan wrote the song “Holdingcell” while sitting in one.The band has been together for about

five years and Riaan says there’s a senseof brotherhood that comes out in the mu-sic now that they’ve got to know eachother.Besides themore relaxed atmosphere it

was recorded in, Come alive is also diffe-rent from the band’s previous albums,Smoke, dust and whisky and Red shack

rock because it contains 16 songs – morethan their usual nine or 10.The songs were also all tracked live, gi-

ving the album a more “natural feel”.The band is also proud of Come alive’s

albumart, createdbyartistEmilyParadiswhile listening to the album. Emily crea-ted the cover as a physical canvas pain-ting. The original artwork can also bebought as a pledge reward.Once Crimson House has raised its R80

000 target and pledgers have received thealbum, the bandmembers plan to literallythrow the rest off stage at their debut Op-pikoppi performance later this year.Come alivewill be launched at Hillcrest

Quarry in Durbanville on Sunday 26 Julywhere Crimson House will be performingwith the Nomadic Orchestra and Mr Catand the Jackal.V Visit www.thundafund.com/Crimsonhousecomealive before Friday 26 June to support Crimson House’s crowdfunding campaign. Visit www.facebook.com/CrimsonHouse to see Emily’s artwork orfor more information about the band.

Dancers show off their “paw steps”A group of local dancers and artists will co-me together on stage to raise funds for ani-mal sterilisation in the Western Cape.They will perform in Dancers love dogs at

the Artscape Opera House on Saturday.Brigitte Reeve-Taylor started the annual

show and Dancers Love Dogs (DLD) organi-sation in 2012 as a “random act of kindness”and has since brought hundreds of dancerstogether to help furry lives.Since its inception, thenot-for-profit orga-

nisation has raised over R1m to foot the billof sterilising about 6500 animals.The journey began when Reeve-Taylor

rescued a puppy alongside a busy highwayand discovered, on her journey to find help

for the animal, the miserable existence thathomeless animals endure on the streets ofCape Town and its communities.Sterilisations, over time, make an enor-

mous difference in reducing the number ofstrays and unwanted dogs in our society.Themoney raised byDLDalso financially

helps dog ownerswhowant to sterilise theirpets but find the cost too high.This year’s show will be hosted by Bren-

dan van Rhyn, who starred as Frank-n-Fur-ter in the Fugard Theatre’s recent producti-on of The Rocky horror show.The rest of the line-up includes Cape

TownCity Ballet, Cape Junior Ballet, Zama,Vadhini Indian Arts Academy, Ashley and

BradleySearle, theEOANGroup,Art inMo-tion from Johannesburg and AnanadaFuchs, amongst many others.There will also be special appearances by

the SA Guide Dogs Association as well asBob, the “Frenchie” fromSABC3’sExpressoshow.Tickets for the show cost R250, which

equals the cost of two-thirds of one sterilisa-tion, and are available at Computicket. Vi-sit www.dancerslovedogs.weebly.com formore information.V Sponsors are needed to donate prizes for the luckydraw. Anyone interested in supporting this cause canemail [email protected] or call 021 671 2442 for moreinformation.
