Friends of Muizenberg Park chairperson Nicci Giles says the organisation recognises that there are pros and cons to fencing the space. “The park is currently an underutilised, but important green node in the broader community and we are excited that the City has shown its willingness to invest in the park through building relationships with various interest groups, supporting the com- munity’s creation of a Freedom Garden, pro- viding children’s holiday groups and the Concert in the Park. The City Parks depart- ment works hard to try to keep the park clean and this is supported by Friends work groups,” she says. The organisation envisions the park being used by all of the community as a “space for children to play in and people to enjoy relax- ing under the trees or exploring the paths up to the mountain”, says Giles.

FROM PAGE 1“The park currently faces some challengesincluding the negative aspects of people defe-cating in the bushes or on the paths, throw-ing waste into the upper reaches and leaving... drug paraphernalia lying around, as wellas criminal activity such as breaking intocars along the borders of the park. At themo-ment there are a number of people who seemto be living in the precinct illegally and whohave been reported to threaten the bowlersand other residents living close to the park,”Giles says.But the organisation has raised the ques-tion of if a fence would support the vision ofa “shared, well utilised, beautiful and safeplace for all”.“There are a number of things that need to

be considered in the need for, design and lay-out of a fence.“Any fence would ideally need to be aes-thetically pleasing, durable and easily main-tained, have a number of entrances to allowease of thoroughfare between the beachfrontand the mountain above, incorporate boththe conservation area and the recreation ar-ea of the park, and have someone to lock andopen gates at sunset and sunrise.”A fence in isolation will not be a solution,Giles believes, and will not eliminate theneed for law enforcement, although it couldmake enforcement easier.Giles trusts the Citywill undertake consul-tation with stakeholders to “promote morepositive use of the space”.

The power to protectNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

RyanMorris’ ringing phone interrupts hismeeting, but even before he answers, he

knows it’s someone phoning to report a sus-picious person or activity.Its par for the course as last year’s volun-

teer Auxiliary Law Enforcement officer ofthe year.Morris, a member of TBK Watch in Tam-

boerskloof, joined the reservist team thatsupplements the City of Cape Town’s law en-forcement officers in 2013.The City of Cape Town’s Auxiliary Law

Enforcement Service, a first in SouthAfrica,allows for members of the public to registeras volunteers to perform and assist with lawenforcement duties. The officers receivetraining at the Metro Police College in theCriminal Procedure Act and other compo-nents applicable to their duties.The Auxiliary Law Enforcement officers

deal with a range of incidents, Morris says,tackling everything from vagrancy, theft,car break-ins and responding to calls fromthe neighbourhood watch and police.Theyhave the power to arrest, to carry out

stop and searches, as well as confiscate sto-len goods or goods being traded without apermit.Although the main focus is on enforcing

bylaws, the officers are also obligated to dealwith any serious offence, including theft andpublic fighting.“We’ve caught someone starting a fire on

the mountain before and intervened. We’vearrested guys fighting. I’ve come across anaccidentwhere one of the driverswas drunkand behaving riotously and arrested him forbeing drunk and disorderly,” he says.Often law enforcement and social issues

go hand-in-hand, Morris says, and some-times it is the best option to take a softer ap-

proach.For instance, Morris has worked on inci-

dents where homeless people have been as-sisted into shelters and work programmesinstead of being arrested. “If I can justifia-bly prevent an arrest, I will. Sometimes it’sbetter to bring the family in than to arrestsomeone,”he says. “There ismorepleasurein helping them than in arresting them.”Morris works full-time as an intermedi-

ate paramedic, while completing an aver-age of 16 hours of volunteer Law Enforce-ment work a month.He always takes his medical equipment

with him on patrol, and has provided firstresponder care while waiting for an ambu-lance in cases of stabbing and car crashes.When questioned about the number of

hours he puts in between his full-time posi-tion and his Law Enforcement patrols,Morris shrugs it off. “I don’t like sittingaround doing nothing. I got it from mymom. She’s always been one for working.”Morris’ childhood shaped not only his

work ethic, but also his love for crime fight-ing. “We used to belong to the ‘Cape TownCrime Club’ – we often had break-ins andcrime incidents. The police knew my par-ents by name. Because I was affected, Iwanted to do something. I remember howone day one of the cops gave me a docketand told me to ‘practice on it for now’.”His ‘crime fighting career’ started when

hewas 13,whenhewould join “local securi-ty guys”onpatrol onhis bicycle. Theneigh-bourhood watch was formed when he was16, and at 18 he had joined as a member.“The communityneeds tohelp thepolice.

If you don’t report crimes, theywon’t knowabout them. You must get involved. If youdon’twant to help yourself, you really can’tcomplain about things,” he says.As all the auxiliary officers aremembers

of their local neighbourhood watches, the

position allows them to use their policingpowers to better protect their communities.“The extra powers allow you to deal with

things yourself. It gives you the ability to po-lice your own street,” he says.V Applicants who wish to join the volunteer service mustbe over 18, mentally and physically fit, have no criminalrecord and must have a valid driver’s licence. If they com-ply with the above, candidates can apply via their neigh-bourhood watch, who will submit applications to theCity’s Law Enforcement Department. Once applicationsare verified, applicants are invited to a preliminary diag-nostic assessment which they have to successfully com-plete in order to progress to the next phase. Auxiliary Law Enforcement officer Ryan Morris.

PENNED BY A JOURNO

All dressed up,nowhere to goSAMANTHA LEE

“All dressed up and nowhere to go” – acommon phrase that many of us mayhave heard at least once or twicethroughout our lives.

A phrase that got me thinking aboutdisappointment.

Why? You may ask with an elementof confusion.

Well it started with a few new outfits,gorgeous shoes and two tickets to a tripanticipated for more than a year.

You get all dressed up, you get excitedand then, boom your plans get can-celled. Then you sit: All dressed up withnowhere to go.

But on that note, where did thisphrase come from and why is it so loose-ly used?

My grandmother said something in-teresting to me once that has stuck withme ever since. She said: “Don’t wearyour best clothes in the during the weekbecause you will never look good whenyou go out.”

But who do we dress for?Ourselves? Our partners? Our

friends? or for the average joe on thestreet?

Some, like myself, dress according totheir mood. When I don’t feel like put-ting any effort in a jeans or track pantswork fine. But when I feel like puttingon a nice dress, I’m sure people look atme and think, “Why is she so dressed

up? where is she going?”.It makes me wonder why there is an

accepted notion that you are not allowedto look good no matter the occasion.

I suppose it also has to fit within dresscode confines, but even so, who set thestandard for what we should dress likeand when we are allowed to wear niceclothing?

The same goes for the words mygrandmother spoke. Those are idealsthat have been imprinted in the mind-sets of generations while growing up.

I say it is time to change that. Weshould have the freedom to dress theway we feel.

As a fashion lover, I find clothing asan expression of moods, feelings andemotion so why should you not want touse it as an outlet to show the world whoyou are.

Besides, dressing well makes you feelgood and gives you confidence.

So who are these people that don’twant us to be the best versions of our-selves.

For whatever reason you are dressedup ladies and gents, rock your look.Even if you have nowhere to go.

But if you are home and all dressedup, get up, make some plans and showthat look off. If not and you just wantto look good in front of the TV, no judge-ment.

But remember, good clothing andgood style is made to be admired.

‘We partied’til midnight’Oh behalf of my mother and myself, Iwould like to thank People’s Post for themost amazing Mother’s Day concert atGrand West on Saturday night.

I treated my mom to the concert andwe expected to be there for about twohours max. Well, that hall reverberatedfor four hours, it bounced, it rocked, itraised the roof, all while sitting in yourseat – we were in constant rockingmotion, our seats were moving all thetime.

My mom is 84-years-old and we partied’til midnight and so enjoyed the People’sPost concert. The whole night my momjust beamed, laughed with joy, clappedher hands, tapped her feet. What afantastic concert, what a responsiveaudience, what talented and beautifulSouth African women we listened to, andto top it all, the most incredible band –what a super-duper night it was. Thankyou for making our Mother’s Day outing/night so special.

Williams flies SAflag in MalaysiaQari GaariethWilliams has flown the flag

for South Africa at the International Al-Quran Recital and Memorising Assem-

bly in Kuala Lumpur last week.For more than a half century, Malaysia

has been the host of the world’s oldest AlQuran recital assembly.The 2016 event welcomed the 58th edition

of the mega event, which gathers interna-tionally renowned reciters to Kuala Lump-ur every year.Williams has won the South African Na-

tional Qirah competition in both 2005 and2008, and has also participated in interna-tional Quran competitions in both Iran andEgypt.“All praise is due to Allah, my parents,

my teachers and my family who supportsme in all my endeavours. I am honouredand excited to participate in this illustriousevent which is the oldest and biggest eventof its kind in the world,” says Williams.A prerequisite for this particular Malay-

sian competition is to apply the Quran me-lodies known as maqamaat in a 10-minute,slow-paced, rhythmic and melodious recit-al. All rules of tajweed must be adhered toand judges also look at where the reciterstops and continues within verses, so as tonot distort its meaning. The Quran portionto be recited is given to the reciter on thesame day that he/she is due to recite it inpublic. Preparation time therefore is mini-mal. “The countries who have consistentlywon this competition over the years areMa-laysia, Indonesia, Egypt and Iran. I humblyrequest dua from all, that Allah grants methe strength to represent our country to thebest of my ability, Insha Allah.”Williams started reciting the Quran at a

very young age; having as his first Quran

teacher Sheikh Ganief Moos of Wynberg.He later graduated from Darul Uloom

Zakariya in Johannesburg where he com-pleted his hifth under Hafith Farooq Man-soor Sahib who currently heads up theHifth School at Darul Uloom Zakariya.At the age of 16, shortly after his return

from Johannesburg, young Williams’ fa-ther, NaseemWilliams, his rolemodel, dieddue to sudden illness.Williams’ mother, who was very dear to

hisheart andalwaysmotivatedhim to learnQuran, passed away in 2013. He taught hifthand led Taraweeh prayers for a number ofyears at SurreyEstateMasjidunder the gui-danceof Sheikh IrfaanAbrahams.Thereaft-er he studied tajweed andmastered themaq-amaat guided by Sheikh Ismail Londt.

Qari Gaarieth Williams took part in the 58thInternational Al-Quran Recital and Memoriz-ing Assembly in Kuala Lumpur last week.

ARTY TEACHERS: KirstenhofPrimary School recently held anart workshop for the teachersof Lourier Primary School inRetreat. It was great fun as theteachers were not only instruct-ed on how to teach the task,but also participated in doingit. The session included threeactivities and the teachers gotto take home goody bags withthe items needed to do theseactivities with their classes –all thanks to the kindness ofsome of the parents of theschool, who generously donatedsome money to buy the extras.The school does not have theluxury of a designated artteacher and all the teachers areexpected to teach art withoutany equipment or an art room.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardenwill be hosting an exhibition of world-re-nowned Belgian artist William Sweetlove’swork from Wednesday 11 May to Saturday11 June.Sweetlove has been using his unique art-

works to challenge people to become envi-ronmental thinkers and behavioural ecolo-gists for close to 50 years, throughmore than600 exhibitions worldwide.His “Water Wars” exhibition highlights

the reality of how the excesses of humanityare threatening natural resources. The exhi-bition can be seen in two places in the gar-den. The Fisherman-hunter sculpture willbe on display at the Old Dam and more than60 penguin sculptures will be set up in theVlei Garden.Sweetlove describes his work as “caution-

ary” – conceptual interpretations of the con-sequences of man’s environmental choices.V Visit www.sanbi.org/events for more information.

IMIZAMO YETHU

Not just peoplethat need shelterNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

It’s not just vulnerable people who face acold and wet winter.Township dogs are also in need of shelter

and residents are being called on to sponsor500 kennels to keep them dry and warm.

Organiser Charlotte Collins says she real-ised the need for kennels when she wasdropping someone off while it was rainingin Imizamo Yethu and saw the desperate sit-uation of all these dogs with no shelter.

“Most township dogs do not have kennels,are not allowed inside and are basically leftto fend for themselves against the ele-ments,” she says. “After witnessing sevendogs squashed into a gutter trying to getaway from the rain, I had to do something.

“I adore animals and have four rescuedogs of my own. I couldn’t imagine my dogshaving to just curl up in the rain and coldwith nothing to protect them from the ele-ments. My daughter and I volunteer everyweekend at Lucky Lucy in Malmesbury sowe are not new to the desperate situation

of a lot of our township dogs,” she says.Joining forces with Domestic Animal

Rescue Group (DARG), the 500 kennels willbe provided to their database of vulnerabledogs in the area.

Collins is requesting the donation of ken-nels – preferably plastic ones as these lastlonger and can’t be used for fire wood – al-though wooden kennels are also gladly ac-cepted.

“People can either bring kennels they arenot using, buy a kennel and drop it off atDARG, or donate to DARG by pledging anyamount towards a kennel. It’s very impor-tant that the reference they use is theirname and kennel otherwise it will be desig-nated elsewhere. We can also try and collectany kennels that people can’t drop off,” shesays.

“We are hoping that by providing kennelsit will not only make so many dogs slightlymore comfortable this winter but will helpprevent more dogs from getting sick due tobeing left out in the rain and cold.”V For more information, email Collins at [email protected]

Steenberg off tonational playoffsA highly motivated Steenberg

United will be packing theirbags for a trip to the City of

Roses to compete for promotion tothe National First Division (NFD).

The week-long national play-offstake place from Monday 6 to Sun-day 12 June in Bloemfontein.

This comes after Mike Lukuk-huene’s Steenberg chargers, whoseemed dead and buried after be-ing 1-0 down, turned this excitingand absorbing game from the jawsof defeat to score twice with the de-cisive match-winning goal comingin the referees’ added time.

Steenberg were crowned SafaWestern Cape Regional ABC Mot-sepe League champions on theback of this unbelievable 2-1 victo-ry against Crystal Palace at theGreens Astroturf sports complexin Manenberg on Saturday.

It must be acknowledged that thereferee Masixolo Bambiso fromGeorge in full view of match com-missioner and likeable World Cupaccredited FIFA referee JeromeDamon was on the button and han-dled this needle in a haystack highpressure encounter brilliantly.

The valuable three points ena-bled Steenberg United to consoli-date their top of the log positionand end the 2015/2016 season on 66points from 30 matches – one pointahead of defending championsGlendene United.

Last season Glendene United al-so won the league championshipby a difference of a single point,pipping new champions SteenbergUnited, who then had to be contentwith the bridesmaid tag.

This time round it is owner Shaf-fie Mowzer’s Glendene side thathad to bite the bullet even thoughthey too won their away game 1-0against The Magic at Royal Road inMaitland on Saturday.

The only goal scored in the 70thminute through Madkane Siyam-bonga brought much relief and aflicker of hope for Glendene Unitedat the time Crystal Palace were stillleading Steenberg United 1-0 in Ma-nenberg.

However, with all eyes focusedon the clash between SteenbergUnited and Crystal Palace in whichthe home side scored through

Amir Davids to hold a slender 1-0lead and held on desperately fordear life, but alas Steenberg Unitedfound the equaliser in the 84th min-ute with a long free kick from 50mout through Isma-iel Stanfield andthen in referee’s added optionaltime Edmund Petersen following agoalmouth melee from a cornerkick scored the match winner thatsend the crowd into a frenzy of non-stop joyous celebration songs.

“It was an unbelievably greatgame and though we came backstrongly to turn things around inour favour. I think we deserve towin the league this time round aswe work hard all season for leaguecup success,” says skipper Maraw-aan Bantam.

Bantam also played for CapeTown All Stars two seasons beforewhen the All Stars team undercoach Dylan Deane won the region-al league and promotion to theNFD. A pretty optimistic andequally confident upbeat Bantam

feels this Steenberg squad is loadedwith experience and has a blend oftop quality players that is preparedto fight to the bitter end and is aside that has been together for twoseasons with coach Mike Lukuk-huene, an experienced coach whoalso led Chippa United, the Philip-pi-based side to the league title andsubsequently won promotion tothe first division pro ranks.

“Therefore we are confident ofholding our own. I’m not saying itis going to be easy but we will pre-pare well and put up a good fightin the play-offs to gain promotion,”Bantam concludes.The full ABC Motsepe League

JOSEPH PILLAY

It has been quite a magical andheart-warming start to theseason for Strandfontein

High with a match-winning per-formance that had the partisancrowd on edge in the Mr. PriceFoundation High Schools Soc-cer League.

The growing pains of theteam, affectionately known asthe “Sea Robbers”, saw themfinish at the bottom of the 2015league championship.

But the struggles of the pastdid not impede on the progressof the Strandfontein side.

The rejuvenated Strandfon-tein side caused the biggest up-set of the opening round bysending Cloetesville High, thedefending and three-time leaguechampions (2008, 2009 and 2015)crashing to a 2-1 defeat.

Chris Joubert’s Cloetesville-side staved off early pressure.Scott Williams, in the no.7 jer-sey, constantly troubled a verynervous Dean Gordon in goal.

It was the home side, Cloetes-ville High, that minutes beforehalf-time surged 1-0 aheadthrough a well execution pin-point goal, in which the teamstrung seven passes together,before Ian Floris landed it safelyinto the back of the net.

But after the change-over theschoolboys from StrandfonteinHigh, which still has 75% of lastseasons’ squad, started to geland had Cloetesville on the backfootball.

Like a well oil machine theSea Robbers picked off the oppo-sition with Andile Dick firstscoring the equaliser (1-1). Withten minutes remaining on theclock the ever-alert and influen-tial Scott Williams unleashed apowerful snap-shoot that DeanGordon could not hold and par-ried it into the back of the net.

Floris’ match-winning goal

practically sent the crowd intoa joyous celebration. Chris Jou-bert and his Cloetesville sidewill be quick to admit they wereno way near their best and thatAlexander’s Strandfontein sidefully deserve their moraleboosting 2-1 victory.Beacon Hill triumphLast year’s league runners-

up, Beacon Hill High, topped thelog after the opening round fol-lowing their 3-1 triumph againstarch-rivals Oval North High.

However, they could find thegoing much tougher against astubborn and defensive Rock-lands High side, who shared thepoints (1-1) with Lentegeur onSaturday.Mondale rise aboveMondale High – the 2012 and

2013 champions – showedglimpses of the side that wipedout all opposition for two con-secutive seasons and had theirlong-time educator and coach –since the introduction of theleague in 2004 – Nigel Crowiesmiling from ear to ear. Thoughthe Mondale side beat a pluckyAloe High 2-0, it was a victorythat Riyaaz Nell must be accred-ited with since it was his two-goal tonic that led the boys inthe navy blue and gold jerseyson their way to an emphatic 2-0win.Westridge dominateWith the return of Ismail Gas-

nola – the coach that helpedWestridge High to win their sec-ond league title in 2010 after be-ing inaugural champs in 2004 –the school side in maroon andwhite did enough with somequality playing methods to con-quer Princeton High 1-0 in aquite an evenly balanced en-counter.Other results: Tafelsig High

2, Glendale High 1; Cedar High2, Spine Road 0; Portland High2, Woodlands High 1; LentegeurHigh 1, Rocklands High 1.

Riding the wavesto the podiumHoutBay localTanikaHoffmanandJoa-

quin Del Castillo from Peru clinchedthe women’s and men’s titles respec-

tively in the inaugural Cape Town Pro pre-sented by Quiksilver at Big Bay, Blouberg-strand on Sunday.The first World Surf League (WSL) Quali-

fying Series QS1000 rated events held inCape Town for six years for men and since1992 for women, the Cape Town Pro present-ed competitors with the opportunity to earnpoints on both the QS and WSL Africa re-gional rankings, along with prize- purses ofR30 000 for men and R20 000 for women.Hoffman emerged triumphant in the see-

saw women’s final in which she and FayeZoetmulder (Port Elizabeth) both deliveredscores in the excellent range, taking the leadwith an 8.83 that left Zoetmulder needing an8.60 for victory. “To be awinner inmy hometown is just great! I haven’t won an eventin so long and to win a WSL event and earnsome points here is really an honour and soexciting,” says Hoffman. “It was a very wellsurfed final. Faye had a couple of really goodwaves while I played the patience game.Then I found a great little runner that letmedo a couple of turns and gave me an eight,and Faye didn’t find another good wave.”Zoetmulder, who like Hoffman has com-

peted extensively on the QS circuit over-seas, was proud of the standard of women’ssurfing at an event in home surf. “It was areally good final with Tanika, we threwsome good scores down. The waves werepretty tricky and it was challenging so toboth be getting scores in the excellent rangewas really good,” says Zoetmulder. “I usedto surf the QS overseas and to have twoevents at home now and not have to travelis amazing. The girls are all competing, weare getting more entries and I’m stoked forthe all the sponsors to be getting involved.”Hoffman pocketed R8000 and 1000 points

for her victory with Zoetmulder collecting

R4000 and 750 points. Nikita Robb (East Lon-don) andTarrynChudleigh (Kommetjie) fin-ished equal third after losing to Hoffmanand Zoetmulder in their respective semi-fi-nal encounters. Del Castillo led the highscoring final against Dylan Lightfoot (Jef-frey’s Bay) from the outset, weaving hiswaythrough the tricky one metre high tidewaves and finishing his rides with flair onthe sand. The 20-year-old from Punta Her-mosa, just South of Lima, posted rides of 7.33and an excellent 8.67 which Lightfoot couldnot match, despite earning a pair of sevens.“Thiswin is formy family, formy country

and for Punta Hermosa where I live,” saysan ecstatic Del Castillo, who was cheeredfrom the edge of the water to the podium bya pair of local surfers in a heart-warmingdisplay of sportsmanship.The victory earned Castillo R12 000 and

1000 points thatwill see him jumpnearly 100positions up the QS rankings from his rank-ing of 167th coming into the event.Lightfoot, ranked 96th before the Cape

Town Pro, was satisfied with his runner-upfinish and the 750 points that will see himrise nearly 40 places on the leader board, butwas frustrated at coming so close to a firstQS win. “I was just out of rhythm with thewaves in the final. Joaquin got that eightwhich was a turning point in the heat andhe was in much better rhythm.”Del Castillo defeated top seed Beyrick de

Vries (uMhlanga) and Lightfoot defeatedMichael February (Kommetjie) in their re-spective semi-final match-ups. De Vries andFebruary finished equal third overall withR3 000 and 560 points each.The final day of the event started in glassy

one metre waves, but a thick mist bank thatrolled in after the semi-finals put the eventon hold for more than three hours before itwas completed in brilliant sunshine andwindless conditions.Full results at WorldSurfLeague.com
