NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Noise and nuisance are what residentsaround The Point shoppingmall claimthey have to contend with frequently

– for over a year now.Charl Faurie, a body corporate member of

the Sheraton block of flats, says the blockhas been plagued by inconsiderate deliveryvehicles,which frequently cause an obstruc-tion by parking on red lines or are too largeto get to the delivery area, which forcedthem to reverse several times, accompaniedby the loud beeping sounds.“Whilst these trucks illegally stand on the

red line, delivering their goods, other trucksfind it difficult to enter thedelivery entrancepast these illegally parked trucks, which

leads to more manoeuvring and the result-ant noise and nuisance. This is further en-hanced by the security guards at the deliv-ery entrance screaming and shouting in-structions to the drivers as they try to enterthe obstructed delivery entrance,” he says.Checkers’ delivery trucks have crashed

into the apartment block’s boundarywall onthree occasions, Faurie says.

Claim against Checkers“We have submitted a claim to our insur-

ance after the second incident and our insur-ance has paid for the repair of the wall andwill institute a claim against Checkers forthe amount.“However, since the claim, the third inci-

dent occurred in June when a Checkers de-livery truck again crashed into our bounda-

ry wall, and in spite of being confronted byone of our residents to stay until the policearrives, left the crime scene,” he says.Faurie says numerous meetings, emails,

SMSmessages and calls to the owners of thebuilding, as well as to Checkers, “have beenignored and no remedial action, or even aneffort to address the situation, is evident”.However, Berman Bros Group property

and sales manager Bianca Arnsmeyer saysevery complaint received is attended to.“There is a full team in the delivery area

to direct the traffic and divert trucks downto Beach Road,” she explains. “It’s not thecentre’s fault that trucks cause an obstruc-tion, but we do everything we can to speedup the process.”The centre has been talking to Checkers

representatives, who have committed to re-

build the damaged wall at their own cost.As the traffic infringements take place on

a public road, the centre has no authorityover the drivers. However, traffic officersare frequently called out to fine any trucksparking on red lines, Arnsmeyer says.

Action“We deal with all community complaints.

It may not always look like action is beingtaken, but it is. We are working with the po-lice, traffic department and Checkers, aswell as meeting with residents to addressany issues,” she says.JP Smith, mayoral committeemember for

safety and security, says the City’s trafficservice has received complaints on thismat-ter.V Continued on page 2

Cheers whenwhales are freedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the winter brings an increased numberof whales to our waters, the chances in-crease that the giants become entangled inropes, nets and lobster traps.

Such cases are rising, says South AfricanWhale Disentanglement Network (SAWDN)head Mike Meyers.

On average, 15 to 17 cases of whale entan-glement are reported every year. However,this number is increasing yearly as the pop-ulation increases, he says.

This year has seen eight cases already,with the whale season still only beginning.It is expected to peak in September.

Ten years ago, a huge number of entangle-ments were reported, prompting the depart-ment of environmental affairs to approachthe lobster industry to fund training from anAmerican whale disentanglement special-ist.

The department invited a range of role-players and SAWDN was born, with basictraining and a set of equipment taught on amechanical whale tail.

The network now includes a variety ofpartners, including the Dolphin ProtectionAction Group, National Sea Rescue Institute(NSRI), Natal Sharks Board, researchersand whale watchers, Meyers says. This hascreated 17 centres along the South Africancoastline.

Every year, a new group is trained andmore equipment is manufactured. It costsabout R25 000 to set up a new team.

The Network, which is now the fourthlargest in the world, is also affiliated to theInternational Whaling Commission andshares information and best practice tech-niques with organisations from other coun-tries.

Report itThe public should report any sighting of

an entangled whale immediately, says Mey-er. There have been reports of people beingkilled by whales in the past, he explains,which is why the general public should nev-

er attempt to free a whale themselves.The Network will immediately dispatch a

boat to locate the animal and monitor it. Thedisentanglement team will then follow, us-ing an appropriate knife to cut off whateverrope or net the whale is caught in.

The Network has a 100% success rate indisentangling whales trapped on the sea bot-tom. However, whales entangled but able tobreak free are difficult to follow, and an en-tangled whale can face a very slow death,with it taking up to nine months for thecaught whale to die.

Dangerous workDisentangling the whale can be very dan-

gerous, Meyer explains.While humpback whales easily tire and

will stop thrashing about, southern rightwhales tend to kick their tails sideways andthis can seriously injure a volunteer.

Safety is very important and the volun-teers never enter the water, Meyer says. On-ly the best equipment is used and all volun-teers are trained.

An entangled whale will spin around inthe water to attempt to free itself, Meyer ex-plains. This usually pushes the rope towardsthe whale’s tail, which the whale will kick.This action can be very dangerous to crewtrying to help the whale, he says.

“It’s a very scary thing the first time youassist a whale. Many volunteers go out withtheir heart in their throats,” he says.

But this is all worth it, as freeing a whaleis a very emotional experience.

“We’re all geared towards getting thatpiece of ropeoff.At the same time,we’reveryclose to a large animal, and they often cryin fear. Sometimes they don’t even realisedthat they’re free and we need to give thema touch before they take off like a bullet,” hesays. “At that stage, although we’ve been asquiet as possible the whole time, the entireteam will cheer.”V Report entangled whales to the Dolphin Action Pro-tection Group on 021 782 5845 or to the NSRI on021 434 4011.V For more information or to get involved, contact MikeMeyer on 082 578 7617.

‘Worthless’tablets raidedNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A new technology rolled out in ambulan-ces across the city is making emergency

medics a target for crime.This as three sources in the industry, who

do not want to be identified as they are notcontractually permitted to speak to the me-dia, claim that robberies and attacks havespiked over the last few months, especiallyin areas such as Mitchell’s Plain, Manen-berg, Hanover Park and Khayelitsha.

They believe the spike coincides with theinstallation of tablet devices in ambulances,which link medics to the call centre and pro-vide directions to the emergency.

Some medics who have been held up haveeven been asked to hand over the “tablets”,sources say.

Useless outside ambulancesThe tablets, according to a source with in-

dustry knowledge, have been installed in away that makes them “impossible to re-move” from the ambulances.

The tablets are also locked and will onlywork on the health department’s system,and are useless for any other user.

The installation of the devices, referred toas MDTs, cost about R300m, the source says.

Medics have reportedly raised their con-cerns with management, but have received

no reaction.They are now calling for immediate action

to be taken, to inform the community thatthe devices are not removable and are notuseable outside the ambulance.

Sources say the device, which is mountedabove the dashboard, is clearly visible atnight. The system also updates continuous-ly, and can be heard beeping from outsidethe ambulance.

They say in some areas, medics evenchoose to use ambulances in which the devi-ces have not yet been installed or switch itoff.

They say no education has taken place incommunties to inform the general public ofthe function of the MDT devices.

Added pressureThe increase in attacks has left medics

fearful, a source confirms, with many al-ready expected to attend to patients in areasthey feel are unsafe or where gang violenceis prevalent.

“We already have the pressure of havingto respond to as many calls as possible. It’snow becoming just a job and we are losingour passion,” he says.

The department of health refused to con-firm the existance of the MDT devices, say-ing to do so could make ambulances moreof a target.

They declined to comment further.

FROM PAGE 1

“Meetings have been held with the man-agement of the retailers aswell as the oth-er roleplayers.

“The management of the centre has putmeasures in place to regulate their deliv-eries and time slots. Traffic officers pa-trol the area on an ad hoc basis as wellas react directly when complaints are re-ceived,” he says.

Checkers had not responded to re-quests for comment at the time of goingto print.

Sheraton residents have also been dis-turbed by the noise made by extractorfans, which are in place to extract smokein case of a fire in the building.

“The sound is equivalent to a jet engineright across St Andrews Road from Sher-

aton,” Faurie says.Siyabulela Mamkeli, mayoral commit-

tee member for health, says the City spe-cialised services division received com-plaints about the noisy emergency ex-tractor fan about a year ago, while thebuilding was still under construction.This noise complaint was dealt with andno further noise complaints about theemergency extractor fan were receivedthereafter.

Arnsmeyer says these fans are activat-ed on occasion to comply with fire regula-tions, as the building is regularly inspect-ed and needs to be safe for customers.

Recent meetings with residents inBeach Road have seen the centre commit-ting to installing buffers, she says.

New building to ‘liftveil’ on fossilsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

One of the oldest museums in theSouthern hemisphere is receiv-

ing a multimillion rand upgrade.The Iziko SouthAfricanMuseum,

which was opened in 1879, has re-ceived funding from the provincialdepartment of arts and culture tocreate a bigger museum.

The renovation and upgrade ofthe museum will facilitate greateraccess to the collections and enableIziko to work towards becoming aworld-class museum, explains mu-seum CEO Rooksana Omar.

Six storeys“The courtyardproject consists of

the construction of six storeys with-in the courtyard of the existing re-search building, adjacent to theUCT campus. When completed, this

buildingwill house the researchcol-lections, offices and laboratories, aswell as give unique behind-the-scenes access to the public to viewcollections in storage, scientists andtechnical staff working on fossilsand other specimens,” she says.

The project aims to increase thestorage space for the growing natu-ral history and social history collec-tions, improve visitor access to theresearch and collections with theaim of increasing public awarenessand provide additional office andexhibition spaces for Iziko muse-ums.

The renovations are expected tobe complete late next year.

A report by the Central City Im-provement District estimates theproject to be worth R180m.

Behind the scenesThe upgrade will allow Iziko to

“lift the veil” on the daily activitiesbehind the public exhibitions andshare the full extent of its collec-tions with visitors, Omar says.

“Visitors can learn to better un-derstand the constantly evolvinguniverse we live in and marvel atthe biological and cultural diversityof our planet. This will enable Izikoto engage in amoremeaningful waywith the public,” she says.

The museum will remain openduring the renovations, althoughsome exhibitions and areas may beclosed.

“The work on site is scheduled insuch a manner to minimise the im-pact on the visitor experience.Noise, dust and closed exhibitionareas might be a slight temporaryinconvenience, but once completed,the Iziko South African Museumwill provide visitors with access toa world-class museum,” she says.

600 want ‘land grabbers’ in city outNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Apetition about a derelict proper-ty onMilitaryRoad,whichhousesan informal settlement, has beenhanded to the national depart-ment of public works.

Over 600 Tamboerskloof andBo-Kaap residents signed the peti-tion which urges the departmentto take responsibility for the site,clean it up and properly adminis-ter the site, prevent “further landgrab” and put a “stop to the illegaloccupation of city and communityresources”.

Following a fire earlier in theyear, community members be-lieve more people are now settingup home on the site.

The fire, which displaced the 18families living on the site, oc-curred at the end of January andwas caused by an unattended can-

dle, residents maintain (“‘No’ toshacks”, People’s Post, 24 Februa-ry).

The settlement does not have asewerage or water supply and hasbeen labelled a “healthhazard” bycommunity members.

“Above and beyond the in-creased security risk now pre-sented by a perceived ‘land grab’going on, the site has become afull-scale health risk to those liv-ing there and the Bo-Kaap andTamboerskloof neighbourhood,with all the rain water from thearea finding its way into ourgroundwater,” thepetition states.

The property has been listed asa problem building by the City ofCape Town.

The petition also calls for thesite to be handed over to the Cityof Cape Town.

“Erf 81 has been ill-managed bythe national department of public

works for the last decade, andnowthe slopes of our National Parkhave fallen into a state of dire ne-glect, representing a danger to allresidents of Cape Town,” the peti-tion states.

The petition also calls for the re-location of families living in an in-formal settlement on the site, andthat the site be developed to “rec-ognise the natural resource andthe context of the site”.

However, the settlement’s rep-resentative Benjamin Hanslowsays the residents do not want tobe relocated, with many living onthe site for 15 years.

He says that although the coun-cil and the department havehelped them, surrounding home-owners stillwant the informal set-tlement residents off the site. Butmoving all the families is not anoption as many have employmentin the area.

A drug bust in the city centreled to the seizure of drugsworth R2m.

Two 51-year-old suspects,who work for a long distancebus service, are accused ofdealing in drugs. On their ar-rival at the Cape Town’s longdistance bus terminal centreon Saturday they were arrest-ed.

A search of the bus broughtforth 4kg heroin, 4kg cocaine,4kg dagga compressed with

cocaine and nine packs of dag-ga wrapped in plastic, saysCape Town central policespokesperson Captain EzraOctober.

The drugs were hidden in-side the bus at the driver’scompartment area, in neatlystacked cereal boxes insidetwo black rucksacks.

The drivers will be chargedfor dealing in drugs. Thedrugs and the buswere confis-cated.

Province to have‘Madiba route’The provincial government wants to hon-our the legacy of former president NelsonMandela by developing a tourism routewhich traces his journey in the province.

Alan Winde, provincial minister of eco-nomic opportunities, says it is part of a se-ries of heritage tourism proposals to boostthe province’s growth.

The proposal comes from South AfricanTourism’s mobile app, which is based on amap of Madiba-inspired tourism attrac-tions.

“The map was launched last year to en-courage local and international tourists towalk in the footsteps of Madiba. We hopethese initiatives will offer an authentic ex-perience to visitors, allowing them to expe-rience a piece of the Western Cape’s richcultural heritage,” he says.

The proposal is to develop signage for theMadiba route, which will highlight cultur-ally significant sites in the province, Windeexplains.

“It is our goal to develop clear signage for

the Madiba route so tourists are able to easi-ly navigate to the different sites. We willwork with local and national tourism au-thorities to market the route. At this stagethis is a proposal, and we will engage therelevant stakeholders. Collaboration withkey roleplayers is key to ensure theproject’s success,” he says.

The proposed Mandela journey will bemade up of Robben Island, Pollsmoor pris-on, Drakenstein correctional services, CityHall and Parliament.

The proposal will be included in the ac-tion plan aimed at growing the tourism in-dustry. It will be submitted for approvalnext month.

“We can increase the economic contribu-tion of the tourism sector by up to R28bnfrom R17bn. It could add up to 100 000 for-mal jobs. Currently, 204 000 residents areformally employed in the tourism sector. Toachieve these goals, the private and publicsector have to collaborate and jointly investin a set of focused, specific projects.”

Improvement District asks your help for soup kitchenThe Green Point and Oranje-Kloof Improve-ment District has started a fund to help asoup kitchen in Kloof Street which providesmeals for street people.

“Social responsibility always pops up, es-pecially in winter,” says District CEO MarcTruss. “Many street people don’t want tomove off the street and scratch in bins ordepend on handouts to survive. We wantedto do something to help within the frame-work of responsible giving.”

The organisation is partnering with thesoup kitchen based at the NG Kerk in KloofStreet, which runs the service once a week.

Residents can donated R10 through Snap-scan to the #CIDSoupDrive. Each donationof R10 covers the cost of a meal.

“It’s not even the cost of a coffee and youknow where your money is going,” Trusssays. “This is a passionate plea – we’re try-ing to make a difference and hope it growsinto something more.”

All donations go into the ImprovementDistrict account with notification sent tothe organisation and then the weekly dona-tion is made to the soup kitchen.V Visit https://pos.snapscan.io/qr/madiba for moreinformation.

Ward 57 councillor Brett Herron unveiled a new,artistically designed bicycle rack at the corner

of Durham Avenue and Cecil Road in Salt River onThursday last week.The artsy bicycle rack came about as part of Cape

Town’s world design capital year of projects andHerron organised the installation in Salt River aspart of his ward allocation. He says this follows nu-merous requests from cyclists in his ward to havea safe place to park their bicycles.

Not the usual typeThe project promotes public art as well as bicycle

culture. The cycle rack – the first of its kind in thearea – is not the usual U-shaped rack. Two other pla-ces have these public art racks installed, one atSearle Street and the other at Keizersgracht.The rack spells the word “bike” and can handle

eight to 10 bicycles at one time.Herron says this is a way to encourage people to

cycle instead of drive.“We want people to use bicycles as this will help

decrease the congestion on our roads. This was alsothe only sustainable way to reduce congestion onour roads.

Positive start“Through this initiative we are encouraging peo-

ple to cycle knowing that they have a safe place toleave their bicycles. I’m hoping that people will usethem a lot. I have noticed a lot of interest from cy-clists about the racks so it’s a positive start for

them,” he says.Nils Hansen, a cyclist, says the racks are a good

step in the right direction: “We have to start some-where. It has been well received and we are happythat there is a place to park our bicycles properly.It will improve as the years go by, but what makesus happy is that something is being done about cy-cling. We will get things right as we go.”DavidMalan, another cyclist, says they arehappy

about the initiative but the City always misses thespot.

“What they always get wrong is that cyclists lovetheir coffee. So they should try and put the rackscloser to a coffee shop, becausewhen I’mhavingmycoffee I want to see my bike. That is why most cy-clists end up locking their bicycles on the poles sothat they will be in full view. We know that it’s awork in progress and we appreciate that and hopeit will improve with time. It makes us happy,though, that we have a proper safe place to park ourbikes,” says Malan.Another installation of bicycle racks is planned.

When Fred Mentjies (66) from Riverside in Tokaiwas diagonised with prostate cancer three yearsagohe thought allwas lost.Hegavehimself oneyearto live.The father of two says when something like that

happens it takes everything away.“It’s such a huge knock. You try to deny it, ask

why it’s happening to you. You just literally startcounting the days you’re left with to live,” he says.He vividly remembers he came from the doctor

shaken about the news. Being a friend of Archbish-op Emeritus Desmond Tutu and drawing inspira-tion from him, he gave his friend a call and brokethe news to him. Tutu himself has had prostate can-cer. What Tutu told him got him thinking.“In his calm voice he told me to sit and feel sorry

for myself or to get up and go. He told me it wasn’ta death sentence and the doctors were good. Afterthose words I had a tremendous decision to make.To sit and feel sorry for myself or to actually dosomething,” he says.That’s when the idea of touring to help other peo-

ple with cancer came to mind. He decided to tourso that he could raisemoney to helpwhere it’s need-ed. Last year he and his wife Janey (62), who is alsoa cancer survivor, toured the Kruger National Parkthrough an initiative that they have called “Fredotouring for Cansa”. They stayed there for 40 days

and raised R32 000 to help people living with cancerand others who support people with cancer. Afterthat successful tour they thought to themselves thatit wouldn’t end there – it was just the beginning ofsomething big.Today, they are living for yet another 37 days in

Namibia, hoping to be back by the end of August.Their aim is to raise at least R100 000.“We are so excited about the whole tour. Most of

all we want to do it for other people. If it wasn’t forthe people who supported me I wouldn’t be here.When you have cancer, you need a warm bed,clothes, support, food as you take your medication,so we are hoping that we will raise this money andhelp those that are in need. There are others whoare less fortunate, so if they are diagnosedwith can-cer they lose hope. What we want to do now is tobring a new ray of hope to those people and givethem courage. To let them know that there are peo-ple who care out there and there is the support thatthey need,” he says.Fred’s wife says they are excited about the tour.“We are extremely busy as the days are counting

down as we are trying to put everything together.Since we are both cancer survivors, we thought weshould do something to help other people as well.We are putting things together and the mind is setfor the road.Wearedoing this so thatwehelppeoplewho might find themselves affected by cancer di-rectly or indirectly,” she says.Angela Rodi, a communitymobiliser for Cansa in

Mowbray, says all Cansa’s various departmentsneed funding, so they are glad that people are will-ing to help.“There are a lot of things that we do and we need

money to keep going. We are happy that somethinglike this is being done and we are seeing a lot ofpeople that are knocking at our doors asking howthey can help.We are really grateful.We are in needof every bit of help,” says Rodi.

and so until now our focus has been on get-ting our internal policies, process and pro-grammes up and running,” said SuzetteLittle, mayoral committee member for so-cial development and early childhood de-velopment. “We are now in a better posi-tion to build partnerships with communityorganisations working in the social devel-

opment sector for the benefit of our resi-dents.”Community organisations working in

Mother stands upagainst bullyingTIYESE JERANJI

@jeranji

Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club wasofficially launched at the Peninsula Ho-

tel in Sea Point last week.The club,which has been in existence for

only a few months, tackles the worldwidechallenges and effects of bullying atschools. Founded by a mother, BeverleyDavids, who sawher son suf-fer because of bullies, shevowed to do somethingabout bullying.Since the formation of the

club Davids has visited dif-ferent schools in Cape Townand educated teachers, par-ents and pupils on bullying(People’s Post, “Pupils edu-cated on bullying”, 16 June).Davids believes not a lot is

being done to address bully-ing.“Watching my son suffer

because of bullying and no-one to help really tore myheart apart. We knocked onliterally every door but no-one could help him. I watched in pain ashe suffered and all the doors were shut infront of us. That’s when I realised I had todo something to help others as well,” shesays.

Left brokenAttending the launch last week was Dur-

ban author Sandhir Kumar Sewmungal(21), who has suffered at the hands of bul-lies while in school.With no-one to turn to, pen and paper be-

come his best friends and he chronicled ev-erything that happened to him. However,what Sewmungal remembers is that bully-ing leaves you broken.“You become so angry and lonely that you

can’t help yourself. It tears you apart. Formost people it has long-term effects, likenightmares, and they become so aggressive.It’s such a pain that with such devastatingeffects of bullying not so much is being done

to help the victims. However,I would encourage parents totalk to their children andhelpthem to open up and tell youif they are being bullied.Though the response mightbe slow, keep talking about it– something will eventuallyhappen,” he said.

Bullying destroysUsing a piece of paper, Da-

vids demonstrated the effectsof bullying.“When you squash a piece

of paper and unfold it again,it can unfold, but it will nevergo to its original state. It hascreases that will never be

fixed. So let’s educate each other, butmostlyour kids, to say no to bullying, because it de-stroys the person inside. Most people growto be lonely beings or sad andmostly brokeninside because of bullying, so let’s fight to-gether to make sure that we win this waragainst bullying,” says Davids.Chauncey’s epic anti-bullying club is run

by Davids and her family. Anyone whowants to donate to help them carry out themessage of saying no to bullying can canDa-vids on 073 557 8849 or 021 372 0252.

We hear of people taking the law into their own handsto deal with criminals, more often these days.Andwhile not only the hardened criminals, but also the

petty thieves are “punished for their crimes” by ordinarymembers of the community fed up by a “lack of policeaction”, very often vigilante justice becomes more thanjust a “simple hiding”.Recently, a suspectedmurderer paidwith his livewhen

residents of Kalkfontein decided to take the law into theirown hands.The reason? The community “distrusts” the police.

Theyalso complain about the lackof policing in their areaas is the case with other crime ridden areas across theCape.In a separate incident earlier thisweek, nine foreigners

and a South African were robbed at the bottom of Lion’sHead in Cape Town.When the victims chased the criminals after the rob-

bery, one called the SouthAfrican emergency number 112– without success.He phoned his mother, who tried phoning the 112 emer-

gency number as well as 10111 for over 20 minutes. Whenshe finally got through to the Cape Town Central policestation, the police officer on the phone did not knowwhere Lion’s Head is. The victims gave up after waitingon help to arrive for 35.Although the above incidents are not related , there is

an agreement: the police were conspicuous in their ab-sence.Such clumsy action (or rather a lack of any action) is

a blot on the name of our sergeants.The longer this poor service continues, the more the

community will continue to take the law into their ownhands – in itself a frightening and unacceptable idea!

Look out for morel mush-roomI’m a Rondebosch-based mushroomforager and fungi researcher in need ofsome knowledge and/or advice fromFish Hoek residents who may havespotted an extremely rare mushroomgrowing in the valley.The morel mushroom is highly

sought-after for its excellent taste and isextremely rare to find in Cape Town.Research has led me to believe that

Fish Hoek was once a hotspot forforaging wild morels, but this is goingback over 50 years.

The morel is brown-yellow, shaped likea small conical brain and usually popsup in spring when the ground warmsup, at least in the northern hemisphereit does.They have been known to pop up after

fires and are believed to be mycorrhizal,meaning that they grow under certaintrees – in this case oak, ash, elm andapple orchards.I am curious as to whether they are

still around.Finding one, or a patch of them, would

be quite a discovery.Any information about these mush-

rooms and their last seen location wouldbe highly appreciated.I wish to find them and collect sam-

ples, as to preserve their spores forfuture propagation around the city.Eating them is undoubtedly a bonus!Please email me at [email protected] if

you know anything of this rare fungusthat grew in Fish Hoek.

Cry of desperationBy the time this article is published,another two coffins would have beencarried by bereaved family members toour local cemetery.Another two young lives cut off in the

prime of their youth.More tears, more heartache and more

uncertainty of what to expect next.As a community we are desperate –

desperate to see the end of this senselessbloodshed, desperate to be freed from thisevil that seems to overwhelm everythingin its wake.These are not words of despair, but

words of desperation. In spite of all ourefforts we humanly endeavour to do tomake our community a better place, theauthorities still ignore or choose tooverlook what is happening.As community leaders, organizations,

structures and churches we are doing ourlevel best but the reality is that we arenot the authorities. We are not the police,social development, court or the govern-ment.As long as basic services are not

delivered within the reach of the commu-nity, desperate times will prevail.I hope out of our desperation this time

round we will keep those who areresponsible to render these services,accountable and that if they don’t weshall collectively deal with the matter.

Gender violencea serious issueThe horrendous and brutal attacksagainst the courageous 14-year-oldGrabouw girl, and the 18-year-old matricpupil, Sanet de Lange begs the question,“When will civil society start winningthe battle of violence against women?”The ongoing scourge of the abuse ofwomen and children continues unabat-ed!Have we forgotten the brutal murder

of 2-year old baby Zoey Petersen at thehands of her drug-crazed father?The most vulnerable in our society

continues to be violated almost on a

daily basis, despite campaigns such asthe 16 Days of Activism for No Violenceagainst Women and Children, whichruns globally from 25 November (Inter-national Day for the Elimination ofViolence against Women) through toInternational Human Rights Day on 10December. I urge civil society to collec-tively tackle the issue of gender violenceseriously, and for government to securethe highest political commitment to endthe pandemic expeditiously.

@EarlHaupt

Soccer lovers in the MotherCity are set for a treat thisweekend as the Cape Town

Stadium will play host to the inau-gural Cape Town Cup.

English Premier League sideCrystal Palace, as well as 18-timePortuguese Premier League cham-pions Sporting Clube de Portugal(Sporting Lisbon), will featurealongside local clubs Ajax CapeTown and SuperSport United.

The tournament will kick off onFriday at 17:45 when SuperSportUnited’s Gordon Igesund (a formerAjax Cape Town coach himself)and his charges pit their skillsagainst Alan Pardew’s Palace.

This will be followed by home fa-vourites Ajax facing off againstSporting, who have recently ap-pointed former Benfica coachJorge Jesus to mentor the Lisbonoutfit.

According to Sporting’s Joao Go-mes, they are proud to be invitedto play in the pre-season spectaclein Cape Town.

“We are certain that participa-tion in this tournament will be ben-eficial for the preparation of thefirst team for the season,” says Go-mes. We point out that for Sportingto participate in a tournament inSouth Africa has a special feelingbecause as early as 28 July 1997 wehave a strong bond – the date onwhich Nelson Mandela became amember of merit of Sporting Clubede Portugal.”

The battle lines are drawn once

again on Sunday with the losers ofFriday’s matches hoping to sal-vage pride in the third place play-off, which precedes the final. Ittakes place at 13:00.

Ari Efstathiou, Ajax Cape TownCEO, said at the launch of the CapeTown Cup that the tournamentwould be a springboard for futurecollaborations between the cluband the City of Cape Town.

“We hope to grow this tourna-ment in the years to come and hostother big-name soccer clubs inCape Town. “We ask for the sup-port of the entire Cape Town com-munity to make this event a hugelysuccessful one.”

Tickets cost between R150 andR325, with the City offering an“early bird” promotion: Buy a R200ticket for Friday’s matches (forseats on the middle tier of the northand south stands of the Cape Townstadium) and receive the added bo-nus of a free ticket to Sunday’s fi-nal day.

For those only wanting to attendone day of the spectacle, ticketswill cost R150 (east stand) or R250(west stand). R325 will secure aticket for a seat on the west standfor both Friday and Sunday.

An unlimited number of ticketsare available for students (over 18years) and pensioners (over 60years) at R150, R250 and R325. Forscholars (0-18 years), an unlimitednumber of tickets are available atR100, R200 and R300.

EARL HAUPT@EarlHaupt

The Western Province CricketClub Badgers (WPCC) hockeyteam has repeated last year’s

heroics and successfully defendedtheir Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge title in Durban at the week-end.

The tournament boasts the larg-est total prize money for a SouthAfrican hockey tournament.

WPCC pocketed R25 000 for its ef-forts in securing the tournament’stop honours, which is the highestprize money ever awarded inSouth African hockey history.

The Greenfields Elite Club Chal-lenge is the only non-tertiary na-tional hockey tournament on theSA circuit to feature the country’stop club hockey teams.

The tournament was establishedin 2013 by Riverside Sports andRiverside Hockey Club to show-case proficient top class hockey bypremier players in a festival typetournament.

This year, spectators were treat-ed to an even more exciting displayof intense hockey performances

from SA’s top players and clubs.Participating teams included the

Badgers, Kearsney Hockey Club(2nd), Riverside Hockey Club (3rd),Wanderers Hockey Club (4th) andOld Edwardians Hockey Club(5th), who were also newcomers tothe tournament, and Malik Old Al-banians Hockey Club (6th).

Deserved championsThe Badgers would seal the deal

in the final match of the festival,beating Kearsney 3-0, with goalsfrom captain Andrew Cronje, Matt-hew McConkey and Ryan Crowe.

According to Jon Cook, the Badg-ers were fully deserved champi-ons: “Throughout this outstandingevent, the Badgers were compactin defence, inventive in midfieldand composed in front of goal.

“The Cape Town side were alsoindebted to their inspirationalgoalkeeper Mark Turner, whomade a number of breathtakingsaves at vital moments in histeam’s four matches. The Kearsneyoutfit made the Badgers work hardfor the victory, yet the goal scoringopportunities they created didn’ttranslate into dividends.”

WPCC wins richest prize in SA hockey
